News Ortega fight moved to LW this Saturday

[TaxCutz]

The white guy? You mean Ortega or Dana?

Of the two guys that weighed in: Ortega/Sterling

 

[Muay Thai #1]

What a shit show this is. Probs to Aljo for taking the fight, but it seems like a bad idea for him

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Don't remember where I saw it but I believe once they changed the weight class the fight was bumped down to 3 rounds.

Last I heard, it's still 5, but wouldn't be surprised at the UFC giving Mr. Modelo every chance possible by moving it to 3.

I disagree with your comment about the fighter who misses weight tends to end up winning.

It’s actually the opposite! The fighter who misses weight tend to lose. Makes sense because their body is in bad shape having to stop cutting, while the other fighter likely had a typical weight cut and body in better shape.

Pretty sure people have actually run the stats on a whole bunch of missed weight fights and the weight misser wins more times than not.

Aljo giving up 8 pounds is ridiculously unfair

Yea it's gonna be a really bad look if Ortega wins this fight.

 

[AmonTobin]

Looks like Ortega has declared himself. Should be LW going forward.

 

[SKYNET]

This dude looks like he's going to fucking die.
They need to cancel this fight.

please tell me that's an AI generated clip?

BO looks like he's been drinking pancake syrup and smoking Camel unfiltereds for the last month as his training.

They should just scrap anything below 155 again LoL

All these “BW’s” would smash regional LWs and have the size to match

Sorry FLW’s, gain some mass

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Oretga looks like every drop out now working in a warehouse.

 

[Oscar Madison]

Ortega starting to look like mexican Reverend Jim

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Weigh-ins started an hour ago, 9pm ET

Just curious, why was there no Sherdog Preview for this event? I really enjoy the write ups and look forward to them almost every week. Thanks in advance.

From what I understand, Ortega never wanted this fight and wanted to go to 155, but UFC insisted he took this fight. If that's the case, then I don't even hate ortega....fuck the ufc

There is a Preview video breakdown but it looks like Keith Shilian had to do it solo without Ben Duffy this week.

he's damn lucky they let him do it. all the weight cutting misses these days is a bit strange, it's like these guys have never tried it before. i mean he's only been fighting at FW practically his entire career.

If I remember right, he wanted to move up before the Lopes fight last year. Seems like the UFC doesn't want him to for some reason.

Yes, people being extreme degen's is funny.

I suppose you'd know being a position of authority.
Questions are scary!

It's back up at the casino I go to. Aljo ML went from -275 to -400 overnight, so obviously everyone is jumping to bet him.

His itd line is +195, that seems like the play if you're gonna bet it. I liked his decision line initially but this is a 5 rounder and after seeing T City looking like that...how the hell is he making it 5 rounds?

Im on hard rock and still dont see it. I'll look again.

 

[TrueBias]

Ortega looks so drained and like he doesn't care at all, just showing up for a paycheck and then go away until this time next year or later to fight again.

It looks so obvious that he's either playing possum (why?) or sending a message.


This is impossible to bet on.

Sterling now -420 at my book.
