UFC 266 (Featherweight Title Fight): (C) Volkanovski v. #2 Ortega

Who will WIN this FIGHT?

(C) Alexander Volkanovski (AUS)

#2 Brian Ortega (USA)

 

Current odds:

Alexander Volkanovski: (-188)

Brian Ortega: (+162)

 

• In some ways, Brian Ortega is an entirely new problem for Volkanovski to solve. Say what you will about the incredible technical skill of Max Holloway, or the power striking of Jose Aldo, but they’re fighters with very defined finishing threats.

• Volkanovski’s career at the elite levels has been marked by his consistency and caution. He seems like exactly the fighter to nullify the most dangerous parts of Ortega’s game and put out enough volume to win the rounds. But he’ll be walking a tightrope all the way through it, and any one slip could spell disaster.
