Dan Ige’s pursuit of his first UFC main event victory will have to continue after UFC on ESPN 25, where he fell short against Chan Sung Jung.
Although Ige (15-4 MMA, 7-3 UFC) had a late charge and some shining moments of his own in the featherweight headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, he ultimately spent too much time on the defensive and lost a unanimous decision to Jung (17-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC).
It wasn’t the war with “The Korean Zombie” many had expected, but it was an important experience for Ige, who was in positive spirits after the result and vowed to come back stronger in his next outing.
Where does Ige fit into the landscape at 145 pounds coming off this loss, though? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future after UFC on ESPN 25.
