- Need to lose weight?…The Four Pack Revolution
What's with all these new Ortega Fanboys? I like Ortega but let's not act like he is this amazing striker. Max will beat him on the feet and do it easy. Ortega has a massive advantage over anyone at 145 when it comes to grappling. I wouldn't even make Ortega a favourite over Aldo at this point and I would definitely pick Stepehens to knock Ortega out too.
ortega will school max
Max Holloway will submit Brian Ortega.
Ortega doesn't have the ability to take Holloway down and in the striking aspect he is miles below max, easy fight for max
Good fight IQ level on both fighters is up there either can win in my opinion
Chaels fight with Silva was legendary… damn, I thought for sure he'd walk out of that ring with the belt… sooooo close.
Holloway vs Ortega is gonna be a barn burner folks
IMO Ortega runs right over Holloway 1 takedown 1 well placed strike for a knockdown its over. Look at Holloways 1st loss in the UFC submission triangle/armbar from mount to Porier. Ortega's jiu-jitsu on another level 2nd round TKO or another 3 round submission IMO.
You speak of intangibles, one thing Ortega has is his ability to stay completely calm under pressure and his ability to land submissions is insane. Plus his juice game has gotten a lot better.
