Zak Ottow’s next fight might be the most important of his MMA career, for several reasons. The UFC on ESPN+4 welterweight match-up with Alex Morono has some heat behind it. It’s also the last fight on Ottow’s UFC contract.
Ottow (17-6 MMA, 4-3 UFC) has alternated wins and losses since joining the promotion back in 2016. While a loss would only drop him to .500 in the UFC, Ottow said he doesn’t want to find out if a loss would result in a pink slip. In fact, he hopes a win and finish over Morono (15-5 MMA, 4-2, 1 NC UFC) will net him a bigger deal.
