However, it wasn't just fans reacting. Fellow fighters like Joe Giannetti called on the UFC to award Ige a post-fight bonus for the one-punch knockout.
"Wow what a right hand for 50k Ige, man definitely earned his 50k tonight"
Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman also reacted favorably to the knockout.

The win was important to Ige as he had previously lost to Bryce Mitchell via unanimous decision. It also keeps '50K' in the mix in ranked territory and will likely bump him from his No.13 featherweight ranking to within touching distance of the top 10.
