In the post-fight octagon interview with Daniel Cormier, Ige revealed that his wife was giving birth to their second child as they spoke and he was glad to have finished the contest early. He also paid respect to Fili.
Ige said:
"I wanna give thanks to my wife. She's probably in labor right now so I had to make that one quick. I love Andre. I couldn't let that get in the way. I couldn't come in here and be his friend. When we spar, when we train, he messes me up. I knew I couldn't go out there and play pitter-for-patter. So I had to go out there and just let him know this is different."
