Dan Ige has been seeking a fight with Patricio Pitbull for a while, expressing his interest before Pitbull signed with the UFC. Ige believes that despite Pitbull's past loss in his promotional debut, he remains among the top five featherweights. Ige respects Pitbull's fighting style and is prepared for the best version of him. Although Pitbull's age is a factor, Ige emphasizes experience and dedication to fitness as vital for longevity in a fighter's career.
"I want this fight... He got the Yair fight, I got the Woodson fight. It eventually played out the way it did because we're fighting this weekend."
"I still believe he's one of the best featherweights in the world, definitely in my opinion top five. So this is a big fight for me."
