This is the UFC Vegas 29 live blog for The Korean Zombie vs. Dan Ige, the featherweight headliner for Saturday’s fight card at UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Ige, who’s No. 8 in the UFC’s official rankings, hopes to solidify himself as a serious contender at 145 pounds after a 7-2 run in the division including a knockout win over Gavin Tucker in March that won him his second performance bonus. His fight with Zombie is another shot at a top-ranked fighter that could be the bridge to a title eliminator in the near future.
