Dan Ige considering move to bantamweight after recent featherweight struggles

Dan Ige is reportedly exploring the possibility of dropping to the bantamweight division following a difficult stretch at featherweight. The Hawaiian fighter holds a 2-4 record in his last six bouts, most recently suffering a first-round knockout loss to Melquizael Costa. The consecutive setbacks at 145 pounds appear to have prompted Ige to consider a weight class change as a potential career reset. A move to bantamweight would represent a significant physical challenge, requiring Ige to cut an additional 10 pounds. The decision highlights the difficult position Ige finds himself in after struggling to find success in the featherweight division.
