Must admit I was wrong about Ortega

[Alpha_T83]

I wasn't sure how Ortega could beat Edgar... I'm really still surprised he beat him on the feet. I want to say it was a lucky punch, but even before that Ortega was looking good on the feet.

However, Ortega looked really huge at 145. I mean, that guy must cut 20-25 pounds... I really wish they'd implement cage-side weigh-ins, and start banning fighters that cut more than 15 pounds from their current weight class.

Anyway, congrats to Ortega! A lot of people underestimated him and he did a great job.

How could anyone doubt his standup ability after his war with Moicano?

I knew Ortega was a beast but I still expected Frankie to do him.

His fight with Max will be a cracker.

Meh, I never doubted his skill but the dude is a a PED cheat in a division where he already has a size advantage over most guys.

 

[SNEAKthief]

Yeah, congrats to Ortega. I also had Frankie winning in typical fashion. I don’t even have a beer to wash down this crow. FML

Ortega has a size advantage and younger. Frankie is getting old and has been in wars.......yet he was still considered having the adv...goes to show how great Edgar is :/

 

[Death By Samson]

I'm right there with you. I thought that Ortega was in over his head and that Edgar would outpoint him for a UD win.

A lot of people sleeping on T City until tonight.

It takes a real man to admit he's an idiot.



(I think that's a compliment but I'll leave it up to you to decide).

Edgar's had way too many title shots in his career, it's about time someone puts a stop to that.

Testosterone USADA No Contest city beat mini balboa. Good shit.

I've been on the T-City train for a long long while. I think I was a fan prior to his UFC signing, but not sure. I first remember him from Gracie Breakdown YouTube channel.

Is there a way to tell when I set up my sig? It's been this for a long, long time.

Shock of the night for sure
War Ortega now I guess. Him and max will be great.

It's less about doubting Ortega, and more about how Frankie has typically had great standup. I honestly thought Frankie's speed and footwork would help him get inside on the longer Ortega, and pick him apart with jabs. I was wrong.

I do think it's time the torch was passed. Edgar has had his time and I think he's the ultimate example of how far focus and work ethic can take you. However, I didn't see him beating Max Holloway. Ortega could very well submit max.

I knew he was legit as fuck, would give Frankie a tough fight and I picked him to win but I didn't really predict him taking a book out Frankie's chapter.

Ortega is a FN beast, much respect to him....

Choosing Frankie was by no means an idiot move unless you only watched fights after the results.

Once again though you might have been short on PEDS for that post
