Ige (15-3) recently knocked out Gavin Tucker in just 22-seconds at UFC Vegas 21 last month, taking him to #8 in the official featherweight rankings. ‘Dynamite’ will seek his first win in a UFC main event against Jung after losing out to Calvin Kattar last July. Ige started his UFC career with six consecutive wins.
