UFC on FUEL TV 4 | The Lighter Weights Set to Deliver Late Fireworks | UFC NEWS


The lighter weights shine as three great match-ups have been added to the UFC on Fuel TV 4 card for July 11th at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California. Look for three pivotal fights in the careers of 6 incredible athletes this summer.

Three fantastic fights have been added to July’s UFC on FUEL TV 4 card, as T.J. Dillashaw (5-1) vs. Vaughan Lee (12-7-1) and Rapahel Assuncao (16-4) vs. Issei Tamura (7-2) take place at bantamweight while Chris Cariaso (13-3) and Josh Ferguson (8-4) will happen in the exciting new flyweight division in three fights that promise to deliver late fireworks in July.

Both Dillashaw and Lee are coming off solid victories over Walel Watson and Kid Yamamoto, respectively, and will look to earn another statement win to move them up an extremely talented divisional ladder.

Assuncao will look to fire up a winning streak since going 2-3 in his last 5 fights. His opponent, Tamura, is a Japanese prospect who is coming off of the spectacular knockout of Zhang Tiequan at UFC 144. Both men need this win to establish themselves as legitimate threats in the division.

Finally, a flyweight fight between Cariaso, who will be looking to make it three straight in the Octagon, will fight Josh Ferguson who will be looking to stifle a losing streak while improving on his mediocre record of 8-4
