Dan Ige’s UFC wish list includes Shane Burgos, Chan Sung Jung and Yair Rodriguez
LAS VEGAS – Dan Ige is aiming for the top of the featherweight division.
After dropping his UFC debut, Ige (13-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) has won five in a row and is coming off the biggest win of his career, a split decision win over Mirsad Bektic at UFC 247.
Being both an assistant manager to Dominance MMA and a fighter, Ige has gotten a real grasp of how the game works. Now he’s ready to test himself against some of the big names at 145 pounds.
