Can't defend takedown in loss
Ige lost to Bryce Mitchell via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's rare a fight plays out as most everyone expected, but that's what we got here. Ige did fine whenever the two men were at distance, landing the more impactful, meaningful strikes the entire bout, but the wrestling game of Mitchell ended up being the difference. Dan's takedown defense has definitely improved over time, and he's done a much better job defending if he ends up on the mat, but it's hard to overcome five successful takedowns and 7:33 worth of control time in a 15-minute bout. The 32-year-old Hawaiian continues to take a couple steps forward and one step back in a loaded featherweight division.

Scheduled to fight Mitchell
Ige will fight Bryce Mitchell in a featherweight bout at UFC Vegas 80 on Sept. 23, according to Brett Okamoto of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
No. 13 Ige could surpass Mitchell's No. 12 spot by defeating him at UFC Vegas 80. The former won both his first two fights of 2023. Mitchell may be coming off a defeat to undefeated prospect Ilia Topuria but has not lost any of his other 15 fights, six in the UFC.

Cruises past Nate Landwehr
Ige defeated Nate Landwehr via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27) at UFC 289 on Saturday in Vancouver.
ANALYSIS
It was a trademark Ige performance. His hand speed and pure power were on full display, as he battered Landwehr from bell-to-bell. He nearly finished the fight on multiple occasions, with the ridiculous toughness of Landwehr being the only reason this fight went the distance. Ige stuffed all four of Nate's takedown attempts for good measure. Dan won six of his first seven UFC bouts, only to lose four of his next five. He's since rebounded with strong performances against Landwehr and Damon Jackson. Ige is a fringe top-ten fighter in a loaded featherweight division, but his significant struggles against better competition are a major concern. His last four defeats have come against Calvin Kattar, The Korean Zombie, Josh Emmett, and Movsar Evloev. Luckily for Ige, he's going to get another chance against a quality opponent if he keeps this up.
