Dan Ige got a big win this past weekend at UFC 225, where he also found himself sandwiched between two UFC legends. In June 9’s UFC 225 curtain-jerker, which streamed on UFC Fight Pass from Chicago’s United Center, Ige (9-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) notched his first career UFC win after stopping fellow featherweight Mike Santiago (21-12 MMA, 0-3 UFC) with a 50-second TKO. Afterward, Ige’s social-media included pictures that showed him standing between UFC Hall of Famers and former opponents B.J.
