Tonight’s UFC Vegas 29 event was headlined by a key featherweight matchup featuring former title challenger The Korean Zombie taking on Dan Ige.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dan Ige (15-4 MMA) entered UFC Vegas 29 looking to build off the momentum of his stunning knockout of Gavin Tucker from back in March. The Hawaiian standout had won 7 of his past 8 bouts<\/a>, with his lone loss in that time coming against Calvin Kattar, ahead of Saturday’s event.<\/p>\n
