I still have PTSD from Ortega pulling out last time...

Is this fight happening? The event is tomorrow.

It's great that they were able to rebook this fight so quickly and if it actually goes through tomorrow... hell yeah.

Good job Ortega, Lopes and the UFC.
 
Ortega realistically should go up to 155 I think I he said that was the plan anyway after this fight.

It still seems to be his plan. Not sure why he even took this one when he made it clear that he was going to 155lbs.
 
Ortega should retire. how good can you get when you barely fight. the guys aren't going to magically get easier the longer you wait.
 
Good enough to get two title shots?

you don't have to be good to get title shots in UFC, come on. is Colby good? Adesanya coming off a loss with a record of 1-2 in his last 3 got a title shot. Poirer on a 1 fight win streak got a title shot. Chito on a 1 fight win streak got a title shot. Ortega's last title shot was also on a 1 fight win streak coming off a nearly a 3 yr layoff. getting a title shot in UFC means little to nothing.

My brother in the lord are you trying to say that Covington and Poirier aren't good fighters?
At least @AldoStillGoat is funny sometimes and lets me joke about Ortega giving him a creampie.

Original matchup was at LW, not sure why they still went with FW.
