    Dan is such a savage he really made Diego look human on 1 hour notice 😂😂😂😂 shout out DAN 50k IGE ✅

      Ige def a G but Diego was up against a roller coaster of emotions and challenges. Weight cut, calls at 3am short notice, last minute drop out against an opponent who didn't have to cut wait. Oh by the way only a few hours notice this time.

      Lopes had to cut weight and change his game plan for a fighter he didn't prepare for. Ige is a stud, but don't take anything away from Lopes. Both guys are G's.

    Damn ..what a rush !
    I'm just trying to mentally put myself in that position Dan was in.. Zen mode at the spa, get a phone call to fight at international fight week, within 4 hours against a pretty damn good opponent, Co-Main slot, then assembling his corner Avengers mode...ahh man ..😎👏
    fkkn awesome!
    This was nothing but a win-win opportunity for him.
    And kudos for Diego!
    If it was anybody else, they easily could have not agreed to the last minute risky match after Ortega dropped out.
    That is BMF behavior from both of them 🤜🤛

    Great interview, first time here. I like how you guys full screen his cam while he’s talking. Feels very professional and respectful. shout out Dan what a crazy fight. Dude cemented himself as a legend in my book and many others.

    Hate to be that guy but I keep seeing all these new Dan Ige interviews now and can’t help but think it’s just bc 1) Diego Lopez didn’t impress or get the finish like people wanted and 2) McGregor fell off the headliner . Dan ige is good but people want to see finishes on a card like that that’s why everybody is not talking about Ian Garry beating venom page right now. But this guy didn’t even win his fight but yet it’s what everyone is talking about besides pereira

    I mean I'm sure he wasn't happy about the fight but I still give props to Ige for stepping up. The way he says it tho like he was excited to fight short notice is cap. Good job tho!

    No disrespect to any fighter. Yair is coming off a loss makes sense to fight some one lower in the rankings. That’s a banger and with Yair being Mexican it makes sense for the Noche card.

    Let's not make such a big deal for something taking a fight on a moments notice. If you're a true legit fighter, you're a professional in all aspects of life, and can fight with anyone in your weight class at the drop of a hat. The problem is, too many of these guys are undisciplined, and need 6-8 weeks just to get the excess bodyfat off.
