A featherweight title eliminator sits at the top of Saturday’s UFC Fight Island 6 card. In that bout, two former title challengers, Brian Ortega and Chan Sung Jung face off to decide who will be the next competitor to meet current UFC bantamweight titleholder Alexander Volkanovski.
In early October, UFC president Dana White announced that the winner of this bout would get a title shot, “I’m excited it’s finally happening. Whoever wins this fight, it catapults one of these guys into a shot at the title.”
Ortega and Jung were first booked to face off in December 2019, but a knee injury knocked Ortega from the fight.
