The scrap is set to go down in the Nationwide Arena in what is slated to be the first Fight Night show on the road. The UFC has been holding their weekly non PPV shows inside the Apex Facility in Las Vegas and they’ve had a lot of success with this maneuver. However, fans have been calling for the company to bring the weekly Fight Night shows back on the road.

Chiefly, the featherweight division is one of the flagship divisions in the UFC with a lot of talent closing in at the top. UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski is looking to maintain an active strength of schedule and will want to face new up and comers. Both Woo Choi and Lutz fit that bill, making this a compelling match-up.
