MIAMI – Dan Ige met the media Saturday after his third-round TKO over Sean Woodson at UFC 314.
The end on the prelims at Kaseya Middle got here with controversy. Ige (19-9 MMA, 11-8 UFC) stopped Sean Woodson (13-2-1 MMA, 7-2-1 UFC) with a third-round TKO, however Woodson instantly protested the stoppage, saying he was masking up from Ige’s punches.
Many observers checked out it as a battle by which Ige snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, considering Woodson gained the primary two rounds. However when the scorecard was launched, Ige truly had gained the primary two rounds from all three judges, which means he didn’t want the stoppage to get the win.
“I’ve received to observe the battle again, however within the second my ideas have been I harm him,” Ige stated at his post-fight information convention. “I harm him fairly unhealthy. I ripped to his physique, he shot for a takedown, which you by no means see him do, and I most likely would’ve simply stored hitting him. I don’t get to decide on when the ref jumps in. I simply hold punching till the ref says cease.”
Ige stated the win was key for him to get rolling once more after three losses in 4 fights. Ige by no means has been completed in his 9 losses; all have come by resolution.
