That's a good fight right there

 

[IneedSometop]

Good fight. I think lerone might be too big and physical for Ige. Hopefully lerone makes it to the cage he’s been ready for a step up in competition for a while I think

 

[TITS]

Lerone Murphy is ranked? And Iggy is only one ahead of him? What a crap division.

 

[JoeRowe]

Solid co-main especially for an Apex card. I think Murphy's wrestling, & perhaps grappling, will be the difference in an otherwise equally matched fight.

 

[Xoleth]

So, they give Murphy someone ranked and beatable.
Assuming Ige is still ranked.

PS: I wouldn't consider Murphy undefeated

I think Ige has looked great on his recent stretch and even held his own against Mitchell who's underrated at this point. I haven't really seen why Murphey has all the hype besides being really athletic but I think Ige's boxing, well rounded skill set and aggression should be enough to win rounds making Murphey uncomfortable like he did with Mitchell.

I got Ige by decision.

Ige seems to be in space where he loses to top 15 but beats everyone else and does so with ease. So its a logical fight in that sense although Id really like to see guys like Ortega and Kattar defend their ranking vs upcomming guys. Seems like Dan Ige is the ultimate gatekeeper in that regard.

Well Kattar did fight Allen, Giga, Emmet, Ige so he does fight upcoming fighters for sure
Ortega not so much.

 

[The_Renaissance]

No idea who to pick here, Murphy is getting his potential coming out fight but Ige is a solid gatekeeper. Might lean towards Ige by close decision.

 

[Ace70 V2]

I'm riding with Dan on this one. Will be a tall task to complete though

 

[TRYHARD 2001]

Lerone's looked pretty damn good thus far in the UFC. Big power, good cardio, strong as hell, pretty damn well-rounded. You can say the same about Ige, but they're at different points in their respective careers. I anticipate a lot of cage work in this one and Murphy grinding out a decision. Winner gets Super Soddiq!
