This weekend the UFC’s latest Fight Island offering went down in Abu Dhabi. This event saw Brian Ortega, freshly shaved and sporting a rather large cup, take the fight to Chan Sung Jung and win an impressive unanimous decision. The win now has Ortega in pole position to challenge Alex Volkanovski for the UFC featherweight title.
Elsewhere on the card TUF veteran James Krause took a hard fought win over Claudio Silva. Krause beat Silva to the punch throughout their fight, but—in the process—ate a number of heavy leg kicks. One of those kicks buckled Krause, leading him to tell his corner that he feared his knee had been damaged.
