Brian Ortega Says He Wants Rematch With Max Holloway After UFC 266

Brian Ortega said he's aiming for a rematch with Max Holloway if he beats Alexander Volkanovski to win the UFC Featherweight Championship in the main event of UFC 266 next Saturday.

Ortega, who suffered a TKO loss to Holloway in December 2018, told TMZ Sports in an interview released Saturday he's made significant strides since that defeat.

"I'm not trying to speak ahead, nor am I trying to get past Volkanovski, right, cause he beat Max twice," Ortega said. "I'm not here to say I'm already celebrating. But, that would be ideal. I'm a better person, better fighter than I was when I fought him.
