Brian Ortega vs. Yair Rodriguez in the Works
Brian ‘T-City’ Ortega and Yair ‘La Pantera’ Rodriguez are being linked to face off later this year according to Ariel Helwani.
Brian Ortega (15-2) is coming off a loss to UFC Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski in a fight of the year contender at UFC 266 in September of last year. Ortega, 30, is currently ranked second in the division having recorded high profile wins against ‘Korean Zombie’ Chang Sung Jung, former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar, and Cub Swanson. His two losses come against arguable two of the best featherweights in history, in a 2018 loss to Max Holloway and as mentioned Alexander Volkanovski.
