News Ortega fight moved to LW this Saturday

[gentel]

Man went to the Bryan Battle school of making weight

 

[ExitLUPin]

153 is egrigious. I feel for Aljo. Ortega should never be allowed to fight at 145 again. LW from now.

Ortega should retire at this point. He can't make a fight consistently.

 

[Söze Aldo]

I believe in fights where a fighter misses weight but the fight gets moved to a catchweight, the fighter who missed weight tends to end up winning. Pretty shitty for Aljo, just because Ortega can't be a professional.

Cut Ortega

Bring back Bryan Battle

 

[Alpha_T83]

It’s actually a lightweight fight at 155lbs. Can’t have a catchweight in a literal division that exist lol

I mean you're not wrong.

 

[SovereignPhantom]

Didn't this happen with Diego and then he still pulled out on fight day?

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Will be hilarious if Aljo realizes he feels great at 155 because of this fight and makes a run after halfway fizzling at 145 lol

 

[Khaosan]

Just seeing this, fuck right off Ortega.

 

[xhaydenx]

Fight back on at LW.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

PFL just acquired a new 55er in Ortega and 205er in Brian Battle, historic day for the home of the smart cage

 

[VAfan]

that seriously sucks. was the best fight on the card.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Weighed in under the LW limit nice
The ole Khamzat trick

 

[SpurNani]

Brian Ortega is Bryan Battle with dreamy blue eyes

 

[fortheo]

Aljo giving up 8 pounds is ridiculously unfair

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

I was once TCity biggest fan, Even have some of his merch. At this point Fuck him the fragile little man! He’s pulled out of more fights than he’s had, and when he does fight it’s been lackluster to say the least. The Blessed Express really ruined his career

You and me both, fam. His durability was his biggest attribute, it bailed him out losing a 29-28 multiple times on his way up to a title fight, easy guy to root for and enjoy watching back then.

His knee tko over Guida in the last minute of a fight he was on his way to losing is one of my favorite memories, it was on ufc 199 where Bisping beat Luke for the belt. Insane card lol

At least they saved this fight, it didnt get cancelled or else there would have been a lot of backlash

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

I think some of them do it intentionally, sacrifice a % of your purse in the hopes that knowingly skipping out on the most grueling phase of the weight cut will translate to a meaningful advantage in the fight itself

Probably works at least half the time too I'd guess

 

[TrueBias]

Its back on? Then why cant i bet on it

 

[SpurNani]

Just saw the face-off, Ortega looks like a dead man that can barely walk.

Wouldn't be shocked if this still gets canceled. Hoping Aljo gets to fight though.
