UFC 249 is on the verge of gaining another big matchup. The promotion is targeting featherweights Calvin Kattar and Jeremy Stephens to face off in an April 18 bout in Brooklyn, N.Y. MMA Junkie confirmed the news with multiple persons with knowledge of the situation after an initial report from MMA Fighting . The persons asked for anonymity since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Earlier this month, Kattar (20-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC) and Stephens (28-17 MMA, 15-16 UFC) verbally agreed to fight March 7 at UFC 248. However, Stephens suffered an undisclosed injury before the fight was finalized
