Dan Ige

Dan Ige's career is defined by durability, volume, and a willingness to face anyone. He ranks among the UFC featherweight all-time leaders in several statistical categories: 6th in total fights, 6th in total wins (11), 5th in finishes, and 5th in KO/TKO wins. His 2020 victory over Edson Barboza, a former lightweight title challenger, stands as a career highlight and earned him a Fight of the Night bonus. Ige's most remarkable feat came in 2024 when he accepted a fight against Diego Lopes on just four hours' notice at UFC 303, going the distance in a competitive loss that earned him widespread respect. He is a former NCAA Division III national champion wrestler and holds black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
