Brian Ortega is pitching a shutout so far on The Ultimate Fighter 29.
Team Ortega’s Tresean Gore (3-0)* used a steady striking game to take a two-round decision over Team Volkanovski’s Ryder Newman (3-1) in the second middleweight bout of the season, leaving Alexander Volkanovski without a win through three episodes.
The wrestling of Newman never materialized as he struggled to close the distance with Gore and ate a steady diet of leg kicks. As the fight progressed, Gore opened up on the feet, beating Newman to the punch with his jab and finding a home for his right hand.
