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.

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
FeatherweightUFC
June 29, 2024
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.
Saves UFC 303 co-main event
FeatherweightUFC
June 29, 2024
Ige will step in on hours' notice to face Diego Lopes in the co-main event of UFC 303 on Saturday, according to the UFC 303 broadcast.
ANALYSIS
Lopes was originally supposed to face Brian Ortega in a lightweight matchup, but Ortega was unable to shake a fever and was ultimately forced to withdraw, which the promotion announced just 30 minutes before the start of the pay-per-view portion of the card. In an unprecedented move, Ige will step in to face Lopes at a catchweight of 165 pounds. It has the potential to be an action-packed fight, as both combatants do their best work on the feet and are always in search of a finish.

ANALYSIS
Ige is coming off a victory after defeating Andre Fili via KO (punches) in the first round back in February. He is now set to face Jose Mariscal, who is coming off his third straight win after defeating Morgan Charriere in April.
Sleeps Andre Fili in Vegas

February 10, 2024
Ige defeated Andre Fili via KO (punches) at 2:43 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Ige has primarily only lost to high-end competition since arriving in the UFC, so it's no surprise he hammered Fili as a -185 favorite. Not a whole lot was going on prior to the stoppage, but all it took was one Ige right hand to end the fight in an instant. Ever the gentleman, Dan didn't even fire off a follow-up shot, waiting for Jason Herzog to jump in and call things off. Ige lost three straight from June 2021 to June 2022, but has rebounded with wins in three of his last four since. Ige was originally due to fight Lerone Murphy here before the latter was forced to withdraw, so perhaps the UFC will look to match those two up again. In the meantime, Ige will live up to his "50k" nickname, as he would go on to take home one of four $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses awarded on the evening.
