name a fight in mma history that showed more heart than Ortega just did

[RiotWyatt]

That prelim fight today, forgot his name but he was insane.

Merab

The way that Brian came back in the 5th and began smacking Volk around a bit was truly a spectacle (idk how anyone gave Volk that round).

Too often we see guys not take chances and go for the win when they're trying to snag a belt (most of Izzy and Khabib's opponents). Ortega however, did it multiple times. Tonight he graduated from just a skilled contender to a true warrior. It's a selective club. Much respect. Anyone on here giving him shit is a fucking dickhead.

I always had Frankie as biggest heart but Ortega definitely matched him tonight

Frankie actually came back to win fights after looking as bad as Ortega did.

Edgar vs Maynard 2 and 3
Edgar vs Bendo
Guida vs Sanchez

Also JDS vs Cain the guy never had success in the 2nd or 3rd fights but he was insanely outmatched and never stopped trying.

This is not to take anything away from A.V., he’s champ for a reason but Ortega came back from near death and almost finished the fight several times.

Don’t understand how someone cannot be truly inspired by seeing that

Michael Johnson against Khabib

True but Ortega also had a somewhat long layoff

Also we’re talking post usada

daijiro matsui took some legendary ass whoopings without quitting he wasn't good but he had heart. took wandy to a decision.

 

[Dirty Frank]

Volk showed more heart than Ortega tonight.
Tee City probably even quit at the end of the third; his team was sneaky enough to lift him off the mat.

Shogun literally had his skull broken against Hendo and kept fighting in what turned out to be one of the greatest fights we have ever seen, if not THE greatest. One of the absolute biggest displays of heart ever.

I remember watching that live..it was astonishing

Non stop excitement. Remember just being in awe that neither of them was finished. They both showed what they're made of that night, and especially Shogun. When I found out later that his skull was cracked I couldn't believe he made it through that fight. He lost, but he and Hendo both showed that night exactly why they've always been beloved by the fans.
