#2 Brian Ortega is the underdog against Magomedsharipov (UFC 240)

[Pious Augustus]

Completely reasonable for a 3 round fight
I really don't favour anyone at 145 over Zabit in a 3 round fight

**The fight isn't booked yet**

"According to sources, the UFC is mulling the idea of having fan-favorite featherweights Brian Ortega and Zabit Magomedsharipov collide later this summer. Ortega hasn’t competed since losing to Max Holloway in the UFC 231 headliner, while Magomedsharipov is coming off of a victory against Jeremy Stephens at UFC 235 in March"

Only way Ortega winning this is a lucky punch. Zabit's superb footwork and wrestling will allow him to keep the fight on the feet and outpoint Ortega to a decision.

 

[Deadwing88]

Pretty sure, this has yet to be booked.

 

[Deadwing88]

Yes.

It's not.

 

[chitoortiz]

I'm not totally sure this fight is happening.

Definitely not official yet.

Zabit slows down a lot by round 3, Ortega will submit him then

You’re just infatuated with Russian fighters.

Does he? Looked fine against Stephens iirc. Slowed against CTEniak but was sick or something as well.

I think he broke his hand in the locker room before the fight.

Or so the rumor says

Neither Zabit nor Khabib are Russian, lmao.
