“100 Grand” is moving down.
After 21 fights at Featherweight inside the Octagon, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veteran Dan Ige announced recently that he is dropping down to Bantamweight for a fresh start after his test cut went well.
Ige revealed the news on Instagram, explaining that he successfully completed a trial run to 135 pounds and is now fully committed to making the move.
“Test cut/camp to bantamweight was a success,” Ige wrote. “Thank you to the staff at the UFC PI for their commitment to making this possible. Thank you to my wife and my kids for their patience with me during the hungry hours. It’s been a long journey and I can now say I will be making the full commitment to competing in the bantamweight division.
“I’ve had 21 fights in the UFC at featherweight against the world’s best, and now I’m looking forward to making my bantamweight debut this fall,” Ige continued. “New venture, new challenges and big opportunities lie ahead! Excited for this new chapter.”
