Brian Ortega is one of the top featherweights in the UFC. Ortega is known for his Jiu-Jitsu credentials and mainly for his triangle choke. Ortega has taken on many top Featherweights in the company and beaten most of them. Ortega also fought Alexander Volkanovski and was able to put him in some difficult grappling positions. When he learned that there was a new champion in his divisio
Brian Ortega calls for a title shot
Ilia Topuria has called out Max Holloway multiple times and threatened to finish him before the bell rings. Ilia made it clear that he wants to take on the newly crowned BMF champion of the world. In an interview, Brian Ortega, undeterred by what Topuria wants, recently called for a title shot against the Georgian-origin fighter. He said,
Let’s get a fight in Spain man, let’s go. If I could snap my fingers and get the contract and [Ilia] says yes, and Volkanovski doesn’t take that fight… …the UFC’s got a man right here, and I’m sharp and I’m ready. Everyone knows, I don’t think I’ve seen a boring fight of mine.
n, Brian wasted no time shooting his shot and called out Ilia Topuria for a title shot.
Ilia Topuria won the world featherweight title when he knocked out Alexander Volkanovski via a viscous boxing combination. After years of domination by the Australian, Topuria is now the undisputed champion.
Brian ‘T-City’ Ortega said he would love to fight for the world title in the octagon. If Alexander Volkanovski does not fight for the title, Ortega wants the UFC to give him the chance to contend for the championship title. Ortega is an absolute monster in grappling, but Ilia Topuria is not a joke. Ortega has been pieced up by both Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski in the past. Brian might want to improve his striking ability to take on Topuria.
Ilia Topuria has not yet mentioned Brian Ortega as a possible contender. But seeing how Ilia deals with Brian Ortega’s grappling will be interesting. A fight between Ilia and Brian will be interesting to watch. Topuria will be the favorite in the matchup but Ortega has defied the odds before in his career in the UFC.
