On this week's Top Turtle MMA Podcast on FloCombat, we we talk with UFC featherweight Dan Ige. He dishes about what it is like to be both a fighter and a manager in the MMA world. Plus, he talks about why he isn't represented by the company he works for.

Plus, we get a special pop in from the most famous manager in the MMA game, Ali Abdelaziz. He jumps into the convo and gives us the hype report.

And to follow up from last year, we're running back our most likely contenders who start the year unranked. It's been two years in a row that a fighter has gone from unranked to contender in just a year. Who will join Anthony Smith and Volkan Oezdemir?
