In a featherweight bout in Saturday’s main event, Chan Sung Jung and Dan Ige meet at UFC on ESPN 25 at the UFC’s APEX Facility. Below, we analyze the UFC on ESPN 25 Jung vs. Ige odds and lines, with picks and predictions.
The prelims kick off on ESPN2/ESPN+ at 4 p.m. ET, with the main card starting at 7 p.m. ET.
Jung, a.k.a. “The Korean Zombie”, heads into this headline event as a slight underdog. He is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Brian Ortega in the main event on Oct. 17, 2020, and is a rather ordinary 3-3 across the past six bouts.
Ige has been on the rise lately. Yes, he had a unanimous decision loss to Calvin Kattar in the main event on July 15, 2020 on Fight Island, but he bounced back nicely with a 22-second thrashing of Gavin Tucker last time out on March 13, 2021.

Fight result (2-way line or money line)
IGE (-135) has been solid across the past three years, rising up the ranks with seven victories across his last eight fights. He has three finishes, including two KO/TKOs and a submission win, but he usually takes his time and is rather calculating, wowing the judges with the technical aspects.

Over/Under (O/U)
The Korean Zombie doesn’t fool around, and his decision last time out was the first time the judges were involved in one of his bouts since April 24, 2010 when he was fighting at WEC 48.
While Ige has gone the distance on a semi-regular basis lately, this will be a more up-tempo fight, with IGE BY KO/TKO, DQ OR SUBMISSION (+275) the better play than Ige by decision.
In addition, I like UNDER 4.5 ROUNDS (-105) for a little more value than simply playing No (-115): Will the fight go the distance?, although either one should be a fine wager here.
