The UFC has announced that their show scheduled for Long Island, NY on July 16 will be headlined by two of the best featherweights on the planet: Brian Ortega and Yair Rodriguez.
Ortega currently sits second in the UFC featherweight rankings, behind former champ Max Holloway and reigning kingpin Alexander Volkanovski. Rodriguez is ranked fourth. With Volkanovski and Holloway set to dance for a third time, also in July, this fight could well determine the next challenger at 135 lbs.
Ortega has been there twice before. His last fight was a unanimous decision defeat to Volkanovski in the main event of UFC 266.
