Another walk-off knockout for Dan Ige

Ige folded Damon Jackson into the ground like a newspaper.

Dan Ige received a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award for his second-round knockout of Damon Jackson in the UFC fight Night 217 co-main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Ige punctuated his victory with a counter left hand that rendered his opponent unconscious at the 4:13 mark of the second frame.

This marks Dan Ige’s first win in four fights, but that’s not nearly as bad as it sounds, considering the last three fights he lost were against Movsar Evloev, Josh Emmett, and The Korean Zombie – and all losses via decision. Ige’s an absolute DAWG who will fight anyone the UFC puts in front of him, and I love that about him – glad to see him back in the win column.
