Ortega is a bit of an enigma to me. I haven’t really figured him out yet in the same way I still haven’t figured out who Yoel Romero is. Dude came out showed new wrinkles to his game coming out orthodox the entire damn fight.
I wanna say Ortega is not gonna get Max down but I don’t wanna doubt him. I compared him to Yoel in sense that they’re both unpredictable. Between the two of them they’ve probably got the most 3rd round finishes in the UFC. They just make shit happen.
With that said, I’m on Max but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t afraid of this bet. I’ll have some sort of pseudo hedge on Ortega maybe his NSC. Not too much though, I’ve been fascinated with Holloway’s game since he debuted against Poirier and his 2nd fight against Pat something.
EDIt: how could I forget that Max is also a 3rd finishing beast. The only difference is though, Max has a process of how he does it. He breaks you down, whereas the other two guys I’m not sure how they do it. It’s like they just hit the switch and go terminator mode.
