Dan Ige considering move to bantamweight division after featherweight struggles

Dan Ige is reportedly contemplating a drop to the bantamweight division following a difficult stretch at featherweight. Over his last six fights, Ige holds a 2-4 record, including a first-round knockout loss to Melquizael Costa in his most recent bout. The extended losing skid and knockout defeat appear to have prompted consideration of the weight class change. Moving down to 135 pounds could provide Ige with new matchup opportunities, though the feasibility and wisdom of the cut at this stage of his career remains to be determined.
