UFC on FX 4 Booking | Jim Hettes vs. Steven Siler


UFC officials have announced a featherweight addition to the UFC on FX 4 card headed to New Jersey.

Rising prospect Jim Hettes has agreed to face off with “The Ultimate Fighter” vet, Steven Siler.

While not yet officially announced by UFC officials, UFC on FX 4 is expected to go down at The Revel Entertainment Arena in Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 22. In the headlining slot, top lightweight contenders Gray Maynard and Clay Guida will square off in a five-round affair.

At 24-years of age Hettes is one of the most promising prospects in the UFC’s 145 pound weight class. Unbeaten in his 10 professional fights he burst onto the UFC scene with a second round submission over Alex Caceres. He then followed up his debut victory with a completely one-sided domination of Nam Phan.

Siler has also taken victory in his first two UFC outings. “The Ultimate Fighter” alum last saw action in a major upset of Cole Miller and previously took out Josh Clopton in his promotional debut. The Miller victory gave him his fifteenth victory in his last seventeen fights.

The growing UFC on FX 4 card is shaping up as follows:

Clay Guida vs. Gray Maynard
Brian Ebersole vs. T.J. Waldburger
Jim Hettes vs. Steven Siler
Ricardo Funch vs. Dan Miller
Rich Attonito vs. Rick Story
Luis Ramos vs. Matt Riddle
Chis Camozzi vs. Nick Catone
