Murphy had to go down against Dan Ige, and I believe this is going to be a technical warfare. Ige is a very brave warrior who accepted the fight against Diego Lopes on very short notice. Standing at 5’10” with a 71-inch reach, he’s really matched up and running. He defeated Andre Fili, Nate Landwehr, and Damon Jackson but lost to Bryce Mitchell. Lando Murphy only had one draw in his career against Zubaira Tukhugov, and Gabriel Santos and Makwan Amirkhani went to a decision with him.
Ige hasn’t had an opportunity to fight high-level opponents consistently, but I think his time is coming. I believe this is going to be a technical warfare. Over 2.5 rounds sounds like a very probable outcome here. Lets have a quick look on UFC reords of both fighters.
