Tonight’s UFC 266 is headlined by featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski defending his title against second-ranked Brian Ortega.
After winning his past 19 bouts, Volkanovski is excited to re-enter the Octagon and continue his streak.
“Everyone has a puncher’s chance, but that’s the only chance Ortega has,” said Volkanovski (22-1). “He doesn’t believe he can beat me. I don’t see the belt going anywhere.”
Ortega (15-1, 1 NC) is one of the sport’s most skilled jiu-jitsu artists, and he will need to avoid boxing with Volkanovski and instead bring the fight to the mat in order to have his best shot at winning the title.
