Snaps brief losing streak
Ige defeated Sean Woodson via TKO (punches) at 1:12 of Round 3 at UFC 314 on Saturday in Miami.
ANALYSIS
Desperate to snap a two-fight losing streak, Ige came through in a big spot. All the talk is going to be about the awful early stoppage from referee Andrew Glenn, but it turns out Ige -- probably incorrectly -- was up two rounds on all three scorecards entering the final frame and would have won a decision as long as he managed to see the final bell. Ige definitely landed the bigger blows, while the volume appeared to be in Woodson's favor. It ended up not making a difference because of one big Ige right hand that set forth the sequence of events which ended the fight. Ige has a long history of coming up short against the best the featherweight division has to offer, but he's high-end roster depth for a company which holds an event most every Saturday.

Draws Woodson in Miami
Ige will take on Sean Woodson in a featherweight matchup at UFC 314 on April 12 in Miami, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Ige may have lost three of his last four, but the difference between his and Woodson's caliber of opponents is night and day, as Ige will be one of Woodson's toughest challenges to date. That said, it's tough to argue with Woodson's four-fight winning streak, as well as his high striking volume. A spot in the 145-pound rankings appears to be on the line here, with Ige currently hanging on by a thread at No. 15.

Fades following fast start
Ige lost to Lerone Murphy via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 308 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
This is a disappointing result for Ige on multiple fronts. For starters, he was responsible for by far the biggest moment of the bout with a Round 1 knockdown. He had Murphy in all sorts of trouble but was unable to get him out of there. Ige also appeared exhausted over the course of the final two frames, which is surprising for a guy that has been in five-round fights in the past. Dan did a decent enough job defensively over the course of the final 10 minutes, but he simply didn't generate enough offense to earn the decision. Ige is willing to fight anyone at any time, and that's admirable, but you are what you record says you are in this sport, and Dan's says he's 3-6 in his last nine bouts dating back to June 2021.

Next fight scheduled
Ige is set to face Lerone Murphy in a featherweight match at UFC 308 on October 26, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Ige is coming off a tough loss in which he gave a tremendous effort against Diego Lopes after stepping in a short notice to replace Brian Ortega (illness). Dan will face Lerone Murphy, who is coming off an incredible victory against Edson Barboza.

Legendary effort in defeat
Ige lost to Diego Lopes via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 303 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The fact Ige lost this fight is irrelevant. As of a few hours ago, he was on his couch getting a massage. Living locally in Las Vegas, he accepted the bout following the withdrawal of Brian Ortega (illness) and proceeded to be the fresher man, having Lopes in all sorts of trouble in the latter stages of Round 3. He dropped the decision because he was unable to get his trademark boxing game going over the course of the first ten minutes, but again, it doesn't really matter. A lot of guys say they will fight anyone, anywhere, anytime, but Ige clearly means it. He's going to be extremely well compensated for his efforts and deserves every penny.
