Dan Ige
is eyeing a fresh start at bantamweight in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Ige is set to make his 135-pound debut against David
Martinez at
UFC Fight Night 288 on Sept. 12 at Desert Diamond Arena in
Glendale, Arizona, in what will be the fourth edition of Noche
UFC.
Former featherweight contender Dan Ige looks to revive his UFC
career against surging David Martinez
Ige's (19-11) stock was at its highest when he accepted a fight
against Diego Lopes
on a few hours' notice in 2024, pushing the former title challenger
to the limit in a hard-fought decision loss. However, he has
dropped four out of his last five outings, prompting the move
down.
Ige notably completed a test cut recently to ensure his
bantamweight move goes smoothly.
Meanwhile, Mexico's Martinez (14-1) will have the crowd backing him
at next Noche UFC. “Black Spartan†hasn't lost in 10 straight bouts
since 2021, including three in the UFC following a win on
Dana White's Contender Series. The 27-year-old prospect has
already defeated veteran bantamweights like Rob Font and
Marlon
Vera.
UFC stars Colby Covington, Belal Muhammad, Merab Dvalishvili, and Henry Cejudo have their grudge matches booked to take pace on the RAF mats.
RAF officially announced a pair of main event bouts Saturday, with Dvalishvili and Cejudo set for a wrestling rematch at RAF 12 on Aug. 22 in Cleveland, and longtime rivals Covington and Muhammad headlining RAF 13 on Sept. 19 in Miami.
Both bouts feature gold on the line. Covington defends his RAF Cruiserweight Crossover Championship, while Dvalishvili and Cejudo battle to become the inaugural Lightweight Crossover champion. The Crossover titles were introduced to allow for UFC stars to compete for belts without having to go against RAF's elite dedicated wrestlers such as Kyle Snyder, Kyle Dake, and David Carr.
All four fighters previously held some form of UFC title, with Covington capturing an interim welterweight championship in 2018, Muhammad having a brief undisputed welterweight championship run that capped off a five-year undefeated streak, Dvalishvili winning and successfully defending the bantamweight belt three consecutive times, and Cejudo claiming titles at both 125 and 135 pounds.
Covington defeated UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan at RAF 11 in July to become the first Crossover champion. Later that evening, Muhammad confronted Covington at the post-event press conference and sparked a brawl. RAF co-founder Chad Bronstein initially planned for Covington vs. Muhammad to take place at the August show, but it has now officially been moved to September.
Instead, Dvalishvili and Cejudo headline RAF 12, just six weeks after Dvalishvili pulled off an incredible come-from-behind win against the Olympic gold medalist. This marks the third combat sports meeting between the two, with Dvalishvili also holding a UFC win over Cejudo from February 2024.
A catchweight bout between influencers “Larry Wheels†and Mike Holston a.k.a. “The Real Tarzann†was also announced for RAF 13.
RAF 12 and RAF 13 are scheduled to air live on the Fox Nation streaming service.
A pair of new matchups have been revealed for the UFC's annual Noche UFC event.
The promotion announced on Saturday two new bouts for the Sept. 12 event in Glendale, Ariz. Perennial featherweight contender Dan Ige is officially moving down to the bantamweight division for the first time to face rising star David Martinez at the event.
In his 22nd octagon appearance, Ige is hoping for a fresh coat of paint in a newer division. “100K†has lost two straight, including his first ever stoppage loss to Melquizael Costa at UFC Houston in February in his most recent bout. He'll face Martinez, who is 3-0 in the UFC, including wins over ranked fighters Marlon Vera and Rob Font.
Additionally, a welterweight matchup between Ignacio Bahamondes and Muslim Salikov has been added to the slate. Bahamondes looks to snap a two-fight skid, while Salikov looks to bounce back from a 63 second knockout loss to Uros Medic in November.
As of now, a main event has not been announced for the card.
