N\u00e9 le 6 ao\u00fbt 1991, il est de ceux qui ne font que passer \u00e0 l&rsquo;Octogone : il y encaisse, il revient, et il finit souvent la nuit avec un bonus en poche.<\/p>\n<h3>De la North Shore \u00e0 Wartburg<\/h3>\n<p>Ige quitte Hawaii pour aller wrestler \u00e0 Wartburg College dans l&rsquo;Iowa, une \u00e9cole NCAA Division III connue pour l&rsquo;excellence de son programme de lutte. Il est membre de l&rsquo;\u00e9quipe championne nationale 2011, une r\u00e9f\u00e9rence dans le milieu de la lutte universitaire am\u00e9ricaine. Ce background athl\u00e9tique posera les bases de son MMA : rigueur, cardio, et la capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 dicter le rythme. Il d\u00e9veloppe ensuite sa bo\u00eete \u00e0 outils en obtenant une ceinture noire en jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien (sous Jeff Doner) et une ceinture marron en judo.<\/p>\n<h3>Le chemin vers l&rsquo;UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Il passe professionnel en 2014, compilant des victoires en r\u00e9gionale (Legacy FC, RFA, Pancrase) avant de passer l&rsquo;audition d\u00e9cisive sur le Contender Series de Dana White en juillet 2017, o\u00f9 il s&rsquo;impose par soumission sur Luis Gomez. L&rsquo;UFC suit imm\u00e9diatement. Sa carri\u00e8re dans l&rsquo;organisation, depuis ses d\u00e9buts en 2017, s&rsquo;\u00e9tire sur une vingtaine de combats dans une division poids plumes ultra-comp\u00e9titive.<\/p>\n<h3>Style de combat<\/h3>\n<p>Ige est un fighter hybride, b\u00e2ti sur sa base de lutteur, mais avec des mains qui font mal. Son surnom \u00ab\u00a0100 Grand\u00a0\u00bb fait directement r\u00e9f\u00e9rence aux quatre bonus Performance of the Night encaiss\u00e9s au fil des ans. Il frappe \u00e0 3,60 coups significatifs par minute, avec une pr\u00e9cision \u00e0 45%, et ne perd pratiquement jamais par KO (une seule stoppage adverse sur 11 d\u00e9faites). Ce qui fait la diff\u00e9rence, c&rsquo;est la capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 produire de gros moments dans les grands combats.<\/p>\n<h3>Combats marquants<\/h3>\n<p>En mai 2020, il bat Edson Barboza par d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e dans un combat couronn\u00e9 Fight of the Night. Deux mois plus tard, en juillet 2020, il perd face \u00e0 Calvin Kattar par d\u00e9cision unanime dans ce qui \u00e9tait alors l&rsquo;un des combats les plus attendus du top 10. Le 13 mars 2021, il claque Gavin Tucker en 22 secondes au premier round d&rsquo;un direct du droit d\u00e9vastateur \u2014 l&rsquo;une des finitions les plus nettes de la saison UFC. En janvier 2023, il stoppe Damon Jackson au deuxi\u00e8me round. En f\u00e9vrier 2024, nouveau bonus Performance of the Night avec un KO d&rsquo;Andre Fili au premier round d&rsquo;un crochet droit suivi de frappes au sol.<\/p>\n<p>En 2025-2026, il bat Sean Woodson par TKO au troisi\u00e8me round (UFC 314, avril 2025), avant de s&rsquo;incliner face \u00e0 Patricio Pitbull aux points (UFC 318, juillet 2025) puis face \u00e0 Melquizael Costa par TKO au premier round (f\u00e9vrier 2026). Son record professionnel \u00e0 ce jour est de 19 victoires et 11 d\u00e9faites, avec 7 KO, 5 soumissions et 7 d\u00e9cisions \u00e0 l&rsquo;actif.<\/p>\n<h3>Statut actuel<\/h3>\n<p>Bas\u00e9 \u00e0 Las Vegas, Dan Ige s&rsquo;entra\u00eene chez Xtreme Couture sous la direction d&rsquo;Eric Nicksick. \u00c0 34 ans, il reste actif dans un top 15 poids plumes qui ne pardonne aucune erreur. Son parcours en dit long sur la r\u00e9sistance des combattants hawaiiens : jamais vraiment au sommet du classement, mais toujours l\u00e0 pour les grandes soir\u00e9es.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dan_Ige\">Wikipedia (EN)<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/dan-ige\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/verdictmma.com\/fighter\/dan-100k-ige\">VerdictMMA<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan Ige, poids plume UFC n\u00e9 \u00e0 Hale&rsquo;iwa, Hawaii.
