Dan Ige heads into UFC Fight Night in Houston this weekend with a simple goal: get back in the win column and keep his spot in a loaded featherweight division. At 34, the Hawaiian brings a 19-10 professional record and 12-9 UFC record into his matchup with Melquizael Costa, a 29u2011yearu2011old Brazilian sitting ranked #14 at 145 pounds. Ige is currently slotted at #17, and the odds lean slightly toward Costa, reflecting the younger fighter’s fiveu2011fight win streak and rising momentum.
