Brian Ortega says he had no issue with when his fight against Max Holloway was stopped.
Ortega met Holloway, the UFC featherweight champion, in the main event of UFC 231 on Saturday night in Toronto. The jiu-jitsu ace hung tough throughout the back-and-forth affair, contributing to what is considered a “Fight of the Year” candidate. But Holloway proved to be too much for “T-City;” after dishing out a record-setting amount of significant strikes, the doctor ended the fight between the fourth and fifth rounds.
Ortega posted a statement about the fight Sunday on Instagram, saying that he agreed with the doctor’s decision.
