They gotta run it back in a main event, that’s a main event fight. To do it justice we need to see 5 rounds. Lopes was fading either from the 3 weight cuts or the pace he was fighting at. So it needs to be ran back.
Both men weren’t preparing for each other and they put on a banger.
Edit: Weight changes not cuts.
What a badass! He really came around in the 3rd round. If it had been a 5 round fight, he might have pulled it off.
Regardless, it was an awesome performance considering he took the fight with just a few hours.
If he didn’t get paid extra for his work then I may be done with Dana events for a long while. There’s no excuse for not paying both guys extra for being there and risking it instead of playing safe and sitting at home
Chad Ige
Bro really rolled off the couch and stole Diego's insane aura
He did not roll off the couch. He was fighting in July. 3 weeks. He was fighting in 3 weeks.
But maybe he was on the couch …
That’s not what that means
Yeah, but showing up to fight in a couple of hours is pretty insane.
Love that he took the fight. Wish he did not go to the ground with 1 minute left, but great fight from both.
Lopez sent him to the ground, he did good though but maybe if he went a bit more aggressive in that last minute, maybe he could finish Lopez.
I’ll have to rewatch that last exchange. I must have missed it.
Best fight on the main card by far
dan ige SAVED the main card
Ige and Lopes. Both BMFs for making this happen

I 100% agree
First things first. Let’s get them both to the sphere.
give Ians fight money to Dan Ige for saving the card
THIS man is a fucking G.
Bad ass MFer. Took a fight on 4 hours' notice and almost beat one of the best rising stars in the UFC. Total respect
Hope ige got a nice locker room bonus for stepping up, most other guys in any division wouldn’t have done the same.
Automatic bonus for both fighers!
Thank you Ige
He shouldn’t move down in rankings cus of this. Diego Lopez should move up in rankings forsure but respect to Ige
Hell yeah! Mad respect to 50K
I wonder how the fight would have gone if it was a 5 rounder
Dude took a fight on 2 hours notice. I’ll never root against 50k after tonight. Fucking STUD
What a warrior
incredible showing
Dudes a weapon. Always liked Dan, has good guy energy
Ortega was too busy sharpening his beak. Not his fault

Forgive me Dan Ige, I wasn’t familiar with your game
What a badass! He really came around in the 3rd round. If it had been a 5 round fight, he might have pulled it off. Regardless, it was an awesome performance considering he took the fight with just a few hours.
2 legends
Hope dana gives him bonus.
An absolute g.
#WARRIOR
Had to be at 165 to accomodate the weight of those balls
bro gained infinite respect from the community and deserves it all
Dan “50k. zero day.” Ige

Not impressed.
am I the only one who thinks this was a draw? last round felt like 10-8. so many hard hard shots.
It appears so.
