Chepe Mariscal steps in vs. Dan Ige at UFC Fight Night on July 20
Dan Ige’s search for a new opponent is over, because Chepe Mariscal will step in to fight him next month.

Multiple people with knowledge of the situation verified the new booking with MMA Junkie on Tuesday. The people requested anonymity because the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
