TORONTO — UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway has heard plenty about the accomplishments of his undefeated challenger, Brian Ortega, ahead of UFC 231.
Ortega is a perfect 6-0 inside the Octagon with all six wins arriving via stoppage. Along with being one of the most feared grapplers in the sport, Ortega also became the first man to ever knock out Frankie Edgar when he stopped the legendarily tough former lightweight champion earlier this year with a first-round assault at UFC 222.
But Holloway has plenty of accolades of his own to fall back on — a 12-fight win streak capped off by back-to-back lopsided victories over featherweight icon Jose Aldo.
