Dan Ige vs. Damon Jackson Betting Prediction

While Dan Ige is a bigger name, the ranked fighter, and the betting favorite, Damon Jackson has had far more success inside the octagon as of late. Jackson enters UFC Fight Night 217 having won his past four bouts, while Ige has lost his past three.

Look for Jackson to continue his winning streak as he enters the featherweight rankings. Don't expect him to finish the fight, however, as Ige has never been finished.
