Max Holloway vs. Brian Ortega official for UFC 231 in Toronto

Let’s try this again, shall we?

UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway will put his 145-pound title on the line against Brian Ortega at UFC 231 in December.

TSN confirmed the initial report from MMAJunkie, and was retweeted by UFC officials. This report also supports the impeding fight Ortega had been teasing on Twitter last month.

Holloway and Ortega were originally scheduled to fight in the co-main event of UFC 226 in July before a medical scare forced the champion out of the bout just days before the event.
