Brian Ortega Was Also Called To Fight Khabib

[CampaTRT]

He tried to fight Khabib and I think he is a worse match-up for Khabib than Holloway.

 

[Arkridge]

More interesting fight imo with Ortega's sub game.

 

[tipofmitt]

Khabib getting triangle...oh my.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

That would have been an interesting fight. That's for sure.

 

[VVarhead]

Would've been a far better booking, especially considering that Holloway is still injured.

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

I would actually pick Ortega to win

 

[Arm Barbarian]

That is a match-up I wouldn't mind seeing.

Ortegas jitz is insane.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

I'd be cool with that

 

[Dart Feld]

 

[Legendary]

Ortega could get a sub, but I don't think he can withstand the much larger man.

 

[DeformedGravy]

Goofapotamus can't even make the right matchup....

Ortega isn't injured and stylistically its way better.

 

[BigMuffler]

Would've been a far better booking, especially considering that Holloway is still injured.

I read "booking" as "looking" at first.

Ortega... <7>

(No homo?)

I'd much prefer Ortega because he just went through a training camp recently and left his fight almost completely unscathed.

Max is coming off an injury and was getting ready for surgery. This might be an absurdly bad idea, surely its dangerous.

 

[YoudBeSurprised]

Now that is a damn good fight. Not too many names in the UFC with a guard that could potentially stop Khabib and Brian is one of them.

 

[CDN420]

That's the fight we should be watching! Matchmaking 101.

Seems ferguson is going to be out for a while, so it's possible ortega could be up for a lw title shot if he manages to beat holloway for the fw belt, since mc-g isn't coming back any time soon.

 

[Spacelord13]

If Ortega had lost though. How do you turn around and give him a TS at FW ?

It may have been a better fight. But it would have likely killed any opportunity of him fighting Max for the belt.

 

[MMADoctor]

I would actually say Ortega would dominate Khabib.

 

[BigMuffler]

I would actually say Ortega would dominate Khabib.

Beat possibly, but why dominate? Dominating isn't really even in Ortega's MO...

 

[MayhemMonkey]

thats a fight Id like to see....... Ortega is better standing and his ground game is slick
