Style makes fights....Ortega can't beat anyone that's faster and better in striking...
His problem is he's slow and doesn't have an explosive double leg or single leg takedowns...Ortega thinks he's an elite striker when he should be using his jitz
Yeah, but he would take a lot less damage if he accepted the role of a grappler and worked on it extensively, Damien Maia style. Instead he tried to strike with Max and Volk and took years off of his lifeHis problem is he's slow and doesn't have an explosive double leg or single leg takedowns...
Does he have the cardio for that type of approach?Yeah, but he would take a lot less damage if he accepted the role of a grappler and worked on it extensively, Damien Maia style. Instead he tried to strike with Max and Volk and took years off of his life
He was almost murdered when he went to the ground with Volk.Yeah, but he would take a lot less damage if he accepted the role of a grappler and worked on it extensively, Damien Maia style. Instead he tried to strike with Max and Volk and took years off of his life
no, he did far better than Aldo striking with Volkanovski, Aldo ate 53 to 3 leg kicks he did no damage to Volkanovski at all Ortega manged to cut Volkanovski in R1Style makes fights....Ortega can't beat anyone that's faster and better in striking...

He nearly subbed him twice. That's "no effect?"He used his jits 100%, to no effect
He is a very good striker but he is not an elite striker, his jitz is better. He's taken more damage in 2 fights than anyone ever has because he is using striking as a primary and not to setup his grappling.Ortega is actually a very good striker, as last weekend demonstrated. Volk may have won a clear decision, but it was still competitive from beginning to end.
Also, he did use his jitz. Even tried to take Volk down a couple of times but got easily shrugged off. If Mendes had a hard time wrestling Volk how could Ortega?
almost is not enough. TS said Ortega should be using his jits. The fact is ORtega used his jits, to no effect.He nearly subbed him twice. That's "no effect?"
