Conor McGregor is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the UFC. ‘The Notorious’ famously once proclaimed, ‘precision beats power and timing beats speed’. The Irish superstar’s striking has inspired many in the UFC. Dan Ige happens to be one such fighter who took inspiration from the former UFC champion to produce a jaw-dropping 22-second knockout at UFC Vegas 21. 

‘50K’ is not the most powerful knockout artist and has claimed just four of his 15 wins via T/KO. However, his most recent win against Gavin Tucker might be his best to-date. With the win, he bounced back impressively after his loss to Calvin Kattar and put himself back right in the mix amongst the elite at 145-pounds.

In a recent interview with Marc Raimondi, Ige spoke about how Conor McGregor inspired him to improve his striking. 

Despite the fight lasting only 22-seconds, it was clear that Ige has been working considerably on his boxing. He looked extremely sharp as he bounced in and out of range whilst landing punches.
