Brian Ortega ponders potential matchup with Alexander Volkanovski: ‘Do I play his game or do I make it a dogfight?’

Just because Brian Ortega has a massive challenge ahead of him doesn’t mean he hasn’t thought about the potential opportunity that awaits with another win.

Ortega faces “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung in the main event of UFC Fight Island 6 on Oct. 17, a highly-anticipated matchup that has already seen its fair share of drama. But given that UFC President Dana White recently reiterated that either Ortega or Jung will likely be the No. 1 contender after next weekend, one can’t help but wonder how Ortega might fare against current featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.
