Dan Ige, Doing Things His Way

Dan Ige marches to the beat of his own drum, in the purest sense of the expression. In an Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight division populated by oversized athletes and outsized personalities, “Dynamite” chooses to fight within spitting distance of his walking weight, reject theatrics and trash talk as a shortcut to the spotlight and generally conduct himself with a quiet professionalism. He understands how others play the game; he simply has no interest in following that path.
