Star of the co-main event UFC Las Vegas 67, bantamweight (up to 61,2kg) Dan Ige was uncomfortable with how fans and the specialized press treated him before the duel against Damon Jackson. At the 'media day' of the show that will take place next Saturday (14), the veteran said that he does not feel the weight of the three consecutive defeats and promised to show that he is still one of the best in this weight range.

“I just want to go out there and prove to myself that I still have talent and that I'm still one of the best. I feel discarded by a lot of people and that's okay. I definitely want to go out there and prove something…that I'm still one of the best in the world,” said Dan.
Even coming from an irregular sequence of results, the veteran showed excitement for the duel, stated that he still considers himself one of the best in the world and promised a great performance next Saturday.
“I'm at my peak. I'm loving it, I'm enjoying it, so if I can go out there and perform and be free, that's the best Dan Ige you’ll see”, concluded the bantamweight.
Formerly ranked in the division, Ige has lost four in his last five fights, three of which were consecutive. The bantamweight division has a record in the sport of 15 triumphs and six setbacks.
