cut brian ortega

[UFC666]

Why is he still fighting at 145, when he could took Oliviera route years ago? That's the real question.

 

[dildos]

ortega wont get cut. dont be silly.

 

[TR1]

Feed him to some strikers so he gets KOed into the undercard.

How this dude has fans is a mystery to me.

 

[Cheese_&_mma_lover]

And cut Aljo as well, that fight bored the hell outta me

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Wasn't he supposed to be moving up anyway? Why is he hanging around at 145?

 

[HunterAcosta]

UFC loves this man almost as much as they love Topuria. If he moves to LW, maybe they’ll even give him a title shot.

Put him against that hot prospect Eric Silva.

 

[pick999]

He doesn't deserve that dime piece

 

[TITS]

The UFC is basically forcing him to stay at 145 for some bizarre reason. He said something about it in an interview or a tweet recently. They won't offer him any fights at 155, and keep making him take fights at 145. Maybe because of his ranking they're using him to put new guys over (like Lopes) which he can't do at 155 because he's not ranked at LW.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

He's expressed the desire to go up to 155 a few times. We don't know what the UFC is doing behind the scenes here. Remember when they forces Dustin to go back to 145 for a while? Could be something similar.

Poirier never returned to 145. What are you talking about?

 

[KO Shotz]

Or maybe book him a fight at 155? I mean Ortega & his team only been talking about moving to 155 since 2022...

 

[Skarsgard]

Poirier never returned to 145. What are you talking about?

Poirier was forced to go to 145 for the Grispi fight because the UFC wanted to keep Grispi on the card after Aldo got hurt. This is back when they thought Grispi was the second coming at featherweight.

 

[Koala]

FYI he was very interested in a specific fight at 155 (I guess Oliveira), but the fight never happened, and the other fights the UFC offered him at 155 were less attractive to him than what was offered at 145 (Sterling, an ex-champ)

 

[moosaev]

The UFC thinks he's some kind of heartthrob that will bring in the lady fans. He won't be cut lol.

but he's like 10 yrs past his expiration date on that, and you actually have to see him in order for people to oogle him, this dude fights less than the champions do. plus he's only going to get uglier with his style of fighting lmao

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Rough weight cuts and a style that doesn't involve blocking punches is a bad combo.

 

[LeBron]

Another pussy starving himself to death to fight smaller men.

lol i'm not defending their stance, i think his looks are overrated anyways. He eye color maxes and has a good head of hair, thats all he has goin for him as far as i'm concerned.

 

[HHJ]

They wont cut him, but he should probably quit. Even if he did go to 155 he would get destroyed by the talent there.

 

[FreedomCricket]

This shows how worthless Aljo is.. Ortega was basically a hospital patient and Aljo couldn't finish him in 25 minutes.

That wasn't a "return to featherweight." That was his featherweight debut, and he remained there for years.
