Check out Dan Ige’s impressive victory over Luis Gomez.
Tonight, the featherweight will headline a fight night show against Calvin Kattar and UFC has uploaded the first time that Ige stepped into the octagon. The Hawaii native was first discovered on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2017.
Coming in, Ige was touted as one of the top prospects in MMA as the featherweight was on a strong six-fight winning streak. The 29-year-old had previously competed in Titan Fighting Championship, Cage Fury Fighting Championships, and Legacy Fighting Championship. Ige’s professional record at this time was 7 wins and 1 loss.
His opponent, Luis Gomez, was no slouch inside the octagon himself as the featherweight came into the match-up undefeated. Gomez made a name for himself down in Fight Time Promotions, House of Fame, and Panama Fight League. The 25-year-old came into the bout with a record of 4 wins and 0 losses.
