What happened: After his short-notice unanimous decision loss to Diego Lopes at UFC 303, Dan Ige stated he's only as good as his last fight and has been in similar situations before. He plans to reach out to UFC executive Hunter Campbell to secure one more fight this year. Ige emphasized his intent to stay active despite the recent defeat.

Why it matters: As the No. 13-ranked featherweight, Ige's push for another bout could influence divisional and contender positioning ahead of potential title implications. A win would boost his ranking and keep him in the mix for bigger matchups.

By the numbers: Featherweight rankings: Dan Ige #13 (UFC official). Recent result: Ige L UD3 Diego Lopes (UFC 303, June 29, 2024; Ige underdog pre-fight).

What to watch: Monitor UFC announcements for Ige's potential opponent and date. Campbell's response could lead to a quick booking.
