It was Ige&#8217;s seventh win in the UFC and it helped him bounce back following a unanimous decision loss to Calvin Kattar in his last fight. It also earned him a well-deserved 50k bonus for Performance of the Night, and it&#8217;s the kind of big win that should give Ige another top fighter in his next outing. After taking a step back and fighting the unranked Tucker, it seems likely that Ige will get a top-10 ranked opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Following his win, Ige took the microphone and used his post-fight <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=F-NFYnib9nE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a> as an opportunity to call out The Korean Zombie, who has not fought since dropping a unanimous decision to Brian Ortega last fall. With Ige and The Korean Zombie both ranked in the top-10 at 145lbs and with both men in need of their next opponents, Ige called the Zombie out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Man, I would love to face the Zombie, man. I&#8217;ve been trying to fight this guy forever. He says he doesn&#8217;t know who I am. I went on a tear, I went on a six-fight win streak then fell short (against Kattar). Got a sweet knockout tonight. Please, man. Give me the Zombie,&#8221; Ige said.<\/p>\n<p>Ige and his wife are expecting to give birth to the couple&#8217;s son in the next few weeks so &#8220;Dynamite&#8221; understandably would like to take a little bit of time off to spend with his family. But when he returns to the cage later this year, he&#8217;s hoping the Zombie is there waiting for him. It would be a great fight for the fans, now let&#8217;s see if the UFC agrees.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to see the UFC book Dan Ige vs. The Korean Zombie?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC featherweight contender Dan Ige called out The Korean Zombie following his incredible one-punch KO over Gavin Tucker at UFC Vegas 21.
