My heart raced each time Ortega attempted a submission. This guy is dangerous and sneaky big props to volks for battling through those .
Ortega had always sucked fanboy
@@soledadsoldier He'd tear you to pieces
@Toneil Dariergush He’s just a troll. Don’t fall for that shit
@Toneil Dariergush your pfp 😂
@Toneil Dariergush yes he has. He is nothing more than a way generate revenue from Mexico and Mexican Americans.... he sucks and the reason he was even trying to submit was out of desperation and the lack of any forward pressure. Defensive posture submissions like a biatch!
Bro Ortega over here given people the feels.
straight up almost tear up...
Yep. My butthole just melted 100
@Franz Kafka hey but of them put on a show man
Man the way he got beat by Volkanovski and Holloway but never quit shows how great his fight heart is
@Franz Kafka credit goes to both of them you know.. If either one of them wern't there , fight would not be that enjoyable..
dude just doubled his fan base with a loss...that was incredible he is talking clear and concise.
So true. That is what I love about this sport. Even when someone loses, if they gave their all, people respect it. Many of us would have folded, that is why we respect both fighters. This is why people love the Diaz brothers. They give their all win or lose.
@Juji-Gatame julio ceaser chavaz warrior blood
I still remember his conduct with Korean zombies interpreter. That was pretty disgraceful. His fan base was hurt by that.
He fights like the michoacan sicarios. Till the end.
Doc: How many fingers am I holding up✌ Brian: Nebraska Doc: He's good
im dead
Lol
Doc: Can you see? Brian: I think so. Truth is funnier than a joke on that one.
im screammingg!! lmao
You made my day, thank you
His face is unrecognizable. You can't say he doesn't have heart. He almost won with that submission but Volk is super human.
@Big Dongle FACTS
@Big Dongle you’re dumb If you think that ; volk respects Brian’s Jujistu , it’s top tier , he would not give his neck up to “gas” Ortega cmon now
You are everywhere chill out dude
Wow deep analysis
@Big Dongle lmao 🤣 he almost choked his ass out and you seen it and still don't believe is true ur mom didn't raise you right bro
One of the best fights I've watched in the UFC. Congratulations from Poland.
Where was Brian's girlfriend.... she'll show up when it's good but when my dawg was pouring his heart ❤️ out in the octagon an she is no show
@@lawrencerobinson2605 waiting at hotel room with lingerie to cheer ortega up lmao
@@raihanbaid367 😂😂😂
Imagine stipe vs Jan would be Superman vs Shazam
Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi. I’m from the same town as Alexander Volcanovski so proud of him great guy, thanks Poland all the best to the Polish powerhouse. 🍻
After 25 minutes of non stop war, getting pounded, for him to be that mentally and physically composed and show so much maturity in post fight interview…impressive shit T-City!!
What was impressive? The Juice he took in 2015? or the nap he took after round 3? Or maybe it was the extra minutes they gave him to recover when he was done? How about when Herb Dean asked him questions to discern if he would be able to continue and he answered them wrong each time. Face the facts, your boy City has now earned the title of gatekeeper of the featherweights.
@@abdulismail6739 lol…easy there snowflake! I commented on his composure post fight. That’s it. Perhaps you should try not being such a little punk and maybe KZhead “Comprehension for Dummies” as I don’t believe you could read the book. Appreciate the laugh though!
@@jf5618 I take offence to the fact that you are impressed by this BUM, and your condescending tone speaks levels to the type of person you are bruh. Your favorite fighter got stopped in every title fight he has ever had, but why don`t you respond to any of my original points there buddy? Or you could just admit your boy is a cheater who took PED`s and got caught? If you aren`t gonna respond to that point don`t bother responding at all Thx.
You have never trained martial arts, you can't say shit about anyone
@@abdulismail6739 helo toxic
One of the greatest fights I’ve ever seen. True display of how entertaining MMA can be when both competitors are warriors and extremely skilled in there disciplines. Ortega is a warrior and I bet he gained a lot of fans from that performance. Props to Volk who I’ve overlooked when p4p conversations arise but he shown tonight he is in his prime, outstanding cardio and a nightmare for anyone in that division.
Verdade.
I think Max beats Ortega still
That 3rd round was one of the most entertaining rounds ive seen in recent memory. Had me on the edge of my seat.
a nightmare for everyone except Max who beat him the last time around but was robbed.
@@pope9349 The weasle goes through the second max fight frame by frame and gives an excellent breakdown. Might be worth a watch.
This is exactly what MMA should be...two gladiators that put their souls on the line...And when it's all said and done nothing but respect between the two of them... Absolute warriors...Volk became a legend tonight and Ortega showed his got enormous heart and durability... Would love to see it again one day
People can talk trash about ufc but that’s just the way it goes. Some PPVs are a shitshow, then some are absolutely insane. This one was really good despite the Diaz and heavyweight bouts, Ortega-volk, and schevchenko saved this ufc and made it really good. I love Diaz but that fight sucked. Just like the masvidal fights, you expect fire then he kinda sucks, especially against usman.. he only knocked out askren cuz I mean look at his boxing fight, he’s a straight grappler. It is what it is.
@@davidgreen4084 the fight didnt suck, your likely just disappointed in nicks performance
@@irishscience580Diaz was a bit disappointing falling short of people's expectations but I agree, wasn't that bad of a fight. I made $400 of it 😁. David just seems salty.
Yeah thats the thing mayweather could never do in boxing..such a boring fighter
Shut up
Mad respect to Ortega. What a great performance on his part
and what a speech!
@@Magani79 facts
True Mexican fighting spirit. I hope he continues to get better and gets to be champ someday
He got whacked up for 5 rounds how is that a great performance he had 4 big moments how about volks performance he basicly did what max did to him but in th 2.0 ortega
@@spctxr869 why are they always haters like you, just give the man his respect
Brian should be proud of his performance. He’s one of the greats.
Jesus is the truth
He looks like an injured lion, oh yeah that's because he is a lion.
Jesus is the truth
max piece him up way worst than volk
Lion Ortega
@@ElegyVio Jesus is a fairy tale
@@galaxykicks6880 that’s cuz Ortega got way better since then
ortega said that beautifully at the end
You writing a positive comment? I'm I dreaming or something
Lol I'm laughing because I'm imagining the way you sounded when you typed this😂😂
Thank you pete
Class from both fighters
@Darren Reddix what's your problem
I have major respect for Brian after this fight, he goes the distance, doesn't give up and gives it his all. He looked dead after round 3 but he continued on. One of my favourite fighters, I hope he gets the belt sometime soon.
He technically should of lost bc he had to get help to get to his sto so it should of been a tko bc u r not allowed to do tht
@@spctxr869 who cares tho, we got to see 2 extra rounds of that madness
@@shaunkal2268 brian gonna care after all the strikes his head took with his newest and latest update !!!! CTE in some years!
@@spectre8469 yeah dude his team is shit. Idk how you let your "friend"( cash cow) go and take another 10 minutes of damage after round three. Cool we got to see a good fight, but are his two kids going to see a good dad in his later years. Max Holloway level damage 2 times now.
@@netwatch7261 yeah lets just bring out CTE everytime someone gets beat. his corner let him continue? what about the ref that is supposed to officially stop it? blame them not his corner for allowing him to go back out.
The fact that they scraped him off the ground at the end of round 3 and my man actually put up a good fight until the end is fucking insane to me. I don't know if you guys have ever trained MMA, but it's the most exhausting sport by due to the fact that even as you get tired, someone's trying to beat your ass. Real warrior shit last night.
Didn't quit like a bitch as Diaz did
@@d.l.4873 he’s an old man with a huge layoff lol give the man a break, it should of been a 3 round fight anyways and you wouldn’t be saying shit then
@@joegraves3828 😂 The fact is he pussied out... After soooooo much trash talk how the new UFC fighters aren't good etc.. He quit like a bitch, Lawler saying get up and he was totally fine to continue and quit like a BITCH!
Most exhausting is difficult to say I go for boxing trained both and fought in boxing. I only say boxing is more exhausting cause you have 12 rounds and a lot of time you see fighters clinching or wrestling in MMA to take a breath when both are exhausted. There is also a reason a lot of boxers collapsed after 12 round fights
@@d.l.4873 One of the miracles of the internet: You calling him ''a bitch as Diaz'' and not getting slapped immediately for your insolence. You should be grateful that you have this anonymous way of spitting disrespectful slurs from the safety of your couch though guy. regards,
One of the most inspiring post fight interviews.
Jesus is the truth
@@ElegyViois jesus still the truth?
It’s heartbreaking that Brian Ortega couldn’t bring the belt home to LA but he gave it his all.. as for volkanovski you can’t deny the champ he dug deep & came out on top
We still got a chance to bring LA a belt D ROD 💯
@@csosev lol yea right
The only reason he didn't have to dig deep is because he used to run straight at middle to heavy weights which requires more than digging deep but rather swimming in the deep all 80 minutes
@Big Dongle riiiiight Ask volk he said somethin diffrent Casual
@Big Dongle my dude. You must not understand what you are looking at if you call that easy. Lol
Ortega's heart always shows up in every fight he is in. Props to him even tho he lost. Mad respect
The way Ortega fought in round 5 says everything. I didn't think he would come out after the 4th. He stood up and took it to him. Incredible fight. Volk is a nightmare at 145. Incredible champ.
One of the best fights I have seen in a long time. How Volk got out of those 2 submissions is amazing, especially that Triangle. He is champ for a reason, and it was great to see the 2 warriors respect each other, at the end.
Actually the guillotine looked deeper than the triangle
Volk got out of those by shaving his head smooth! He knew Ortega would be coming out him with submissions. Volk has never shaved his head before until up to this fight. It’s easy to escape chokes with your sweaty bloody bald head and slide right out
@@codeman9145 pathetic excuse
Kudos to Ortega's heart for having been beat up badly but still jumping for submissions and Volk's grit to come out of them. This fight surpassed everyone's expectations and will definitely be one of the nominees for fight of the year 🎉💥
He was so fast into those subs. Can tell he'd been drilling them all year long. Volk Ortega 2 will be nuclear
Yup definitely a contender
How did Volkswagen not tap that was crazy locked on.
@@ppg4667 absolutely I support Brian till the end he’s still young too👍and his two losses to two of the greatest featherweights love ya T-city you’ll be back❤️🤜
It wasn't just the submissions, it was the whole fight. Ortega got headbutted on accident so bad that he was pouring blood from his nose, he got ground and pounded with full strength multiple times so bad that he could barely see and walk back to his corner, he could barely even stand YET Ortega still fuqin made it to the end and was landing bombs in the end of the 5th round. Truly inspirational.
I love this man! When he said, “he’s a champ for a reason!” I felt that. Both of these men are the pinnacle of martial artists! And if and when they meet again, I would be honored to witness it, just like earlier tonight!
He's been saying that for a while now
Yes sir!! Amazing men. Well spoken and humble. Gotta keep it that way. No room for shit talkers that are desperate for an image. Let the actions speak. Huge respect to both of these soldiers.🙏🏼🤙🏼💪🏼👊🏼
Not really
Never had the feels until this one after a post fight interview. What a warrior
At least he wasn’t salty about his loss when he said “He is a champ for a reason ….”
Jesus is the truth
The heart this guy has shown, its just hard not to like Ortega. Great thrilling moments with submission attempts. Let's hope he makes a good comeback.
This was suppose to be his comeback🤷🏽♂️😂
@@jeffsanders5444 not saying he didn’t. I’m just saying his comeback started with Korean zombie 🤷🏽♂️ I don’t think Brian will ever be champ, that’s just my personal opinion. Two titles fights and got dominated in both. Reminds me of Masvidals title fights
Juice head got the piss beat out of him.
It's actually pretty easy to dislike him the dude is a prick however he is entertaining and has heart.
@@erivato2558 and he fought extremely well, literally looked sharp and accurate with his strikes, great on the ground as always, he just got outworked by an extremely tenacious fighter
One of the greatest fights and greatest interviews in UFC history. Dude is the definition of a warrior.
Everything these days seems to be the 'best ever' lol
@@GoGetYourShinebox it is one of the best, did you even watch the fight
@@seanc7990 Yes I did watch it. Was a great fight but not one of the best fights ever imo, recency bias is real
@@GoGetYourShinebox recency bias is definitely possible. But for you to call the fight great, means you should understand how some could view it as one of the best wars they’ve seen. You don’t have to police what’s great to other people bro.
@@GoGetYourShinebox the 3rd round was a top 10 round of all time, the entire fight maybe wasn't top 10 but not recency bias if it's true
Brian Ortega truly is something else. He showed how he pours his whole soul to the ufc/mma. Major props to Him and Alex for giving us this amazing gift fight.
Brian, your in my prayers! God bless, from Scotland. 🙏🏻
Name a better duo than Ortega and almost dying in title fights.
Name a worse corner.
The better duo is woodley and frozen punches
Ben askren and sleeping during ufc fights.
@@fardeenmahmood1767 🤣🤣🤣
Still find it stupid that in this sport the corner, ref and doctors always ask the the fighter 'can you carry on'. Most fighters will say yes out of pride and not wanting too let people down...what's the point in refs and doctors if they don't do there job.
Man I love Ortega. I wish he becomes the Champ someday.
he had two chances and destroyed in both
@@honestguy5910 against the only 2 guys (champions) who destroyed most if not all their opponents.

Ortega is the new Gustafsson. In a different era he would be champ. but he's in the Holloway/Volk era. kid has an unmatched heart in there.
Exactly. It’s quite sad this hell of a fighter can’t be champ in this era
It's the Volkanovski ERA now. Holloway had his time. Volk is undefeated at FW.
He’s only 30 tho lol, he can always move up to 155 too.
Damn you’re so right. Kinda feel for him honestly. I really hope he stays floating in the top 5 for a long time and gets another crack at it.
@@hellothere75822 Cope
Brian do take care of your brain cells man we love you man
This was an incredible fight, two absolute warriors.
One of the best UFC fights I’ve seen as a newer viewer in the last couple years
Fireworks :-) Feel bad for Ortega since he was 1-2 seconds away from becoming the champ in round 3 and 4... Alex survived that, which was amazing... Ortega is only 30, and I think he is gonna become a future champion. Round 3 is one of the best rounds ever :-)
Ya maybe but not as long as max and Alex are there I mean Brian's face looks exactly the same as when he fought max for the belt..sure I guess he was 1 or 2 seconds away but to me there's a good size gap between Brian and max/Alex
But ortega can't keep getting those same hard punishments or his career will be short
1 or 2 seconds ?? Alexander would not tap so idk how he was couole seconds away from a win
@@jesusblanco7657 It seemed that way. Ortega almost put him to sleep, and the whole submission danger and how Alex kept moving his hands and back was amazing. Have to watch the fight again, saw it live on TV.
I dont think he will ever be champ hes just a tier below the elite
This is the fight that has now converted to a Brian Ortega die hard, that 3rd round was crazy and he still fought with his eyes swelling up and cuts, what a warrior
@Franz Kafka as he should.....Volkanovski survived danger in round 3 on three occasions and then ends the round on top position. Two warriors
would love to see this run back at some point, felt the headbutt popping the nose really put ortega at a disadvantage
Totally agree Ortega proved himself tonight even without the W IMO
joanna jedrzejczyk must be your goddess.
Yeah I wanted to clown him because of the way he was talking crazy before the fight then gets his ass kicked but he made it a back and forth fight. Volk was still the better fighter the whole fight pretty much but Ortega put on a little show back. Didnt quit, and didn't make any excuses post fight interview. Nothin but love to the champ, and fans. All you can ask for in a title fight.
Those submissions he was throwing in the heat of battle were so close, he put on an amazing show, what a warrior!!!
Brian Ortega deserves all the accolades he gets massive respect for this guy and nearly got the W as well I have now become a fan of Ortega cant wait to see him fight again🙏
Jesus is the truth
Props to Herb Dean for not stopping the fight when Brian was receiving 'almost' too much punishment.
Herb is the best in the biz.
Letting his team literally pick him up and put him on the stool after the 3rd round, best in the bizz for sure.
@@lequack7399 Ortega thought it was over which is why he stood on ground. Didn't realize the fight was still on so his team got him up
@@MrAlexg91 What he thought or didn't you don't know nor do i, we aren't in his head, regardless-that was cheating, fighters can't get dragged onto a chair by their team in front of a judge, likewise before 4th round started Herb asked Brian 4 questions in a row which Ortega didn't answer, 5th question he answered and they continued since Volkanovski started complaining. Herb Dean is far from the "best in the bizz"
Brian's toughness can't be understated. In both of his losses, he showed heart all the way to the end and I appreciate him for making me scream that loudly at 1am because of those sub attempts lol
I was jumping up and down and screaming like a fool in the bar on the guillotine, & triangle…my god I made a fool of myself in public, but it’s all good, insane /magic that Volk got out…if it was in the second or first there is no way he would have but hats off to him for getting out of those and to both for putting on a fight of the year winner there wow
if he would’ve won by a triangle submission they would’ve probably called the cops to my house
@Ready Joe dude leave that racist sh!t out if the sport. You're looking real insecure with the whole fake persecution agenda
@Clyde Wellington razor sharp snatching the neck and some of the best chin down grinding defense on the planet… Ying & Yang wow! What a show
he is now my favorite UFC fighter, heart of a champion. I think one day he’s gonna get that belt!
When max and alexander retired
His bjj is the scariest, every time he grabs something it feels like it's over, Volks bjj is much better than I expected, he is a complete package
DC getting emotional. He’s such a fantastic commentator and interview
Worse commentator he is bias af
hes a horrible commentator
@@ngojems bro exactly DC was one sided on this fight
His best friend Cain is Mexican. Most likely DC was rooting for Ortega.
He's ok as a commentator. I like that he calls the action as opposed to rambling about the fighter's feelings and past struggles etc etc. DC calls the action and gives good insight
Just became one of my favorite fighters ! What a warrior
and a very cool dude check his Instagram, he's so close with his family especially his mom
Pulitrash🗑️💩
After the fourth round, I heard Ortega's corner tell him that it was time to "earn it." Everyone knew he had lost the fight. That was no longer what he was there to earn. That last round was about respect. He proved in 5 minutes that he belonged in that ring, by fighting like a champion. He had my respect already. The man is an uncrowned king. And those submission attempts in the third! Lightning guillotine. Excellent work from both fighters, but Brian Ortega is a true hero. I love his fights!
Or earning brain damage.
These guys had real beef before they fought, but it was great to see the love and respect from both of them afterwards. No better way to end a fight. Props to both them.
Mexican toughness is something else, nothing but heart. Props to both men for this performance tonight
Chocha de Mexicana tambien !!
Volk looks more Mexican than he does, besides the skin tone.
@@nemanjastosic7141 hell no. Volk got wobbled by 2 jabs in the early rounds. Cmon Leva.
@@nemanjastosic7141 no he does not!
@@masterlogray What I mean is Ortega's just an Anglo. Volk looks like a really light skin Mexican guy on the other hand.
A massive respect for both fighters, most especially to Brian Ortega for that incredibly amazing display or showcase of heart and grit
Wtf dude volks performance was a masterclass
Not enough heart and grit to get up on his own after round 3.
Yeah it should've been stopped after round 3 he couldn't get up on his own... Then they gave him all year to recover. He also failed the vision exam. He does have heart just the ref and his corner were stupid, the doctor too.
And Volk for being able to get out of two incredibly scary submissions that 99% of fighters would have tapped from. RNC and Guillotine that was sunk in tight as hell! How did he get out of those?
Yet he still won
This fight was amazing. The respect and love shown by both after was honestly moving. To go to war like that and leave it all out there, what absolute legends!! No losers in this fight! Absolutely incredible.
Now he is my one of favorites!!! Real man with heart I thought after third round he won’t get up but he also gave a real fight 👍👍
"He's the champ for a reason." Another level, how many people survive chokes from Ortega?
None except "The Great" One
Seriously that was deep i thought it was over but alex is on another level
Got much more respect for Alex now than ever before after him not giving up during those tight submissions; amazing :-)
Volk just built different no one would survive neither of both chokes
Not just 1 but 2 of them. That 3rd round was one of the best ever
Will always love you T-city 🙌🚀
The work and effort these two put forward. Nothing but respect.
Two absolute warriors.. Thank you guys for this amazing fight.. I wish Brian to become a champ one day.. And Volk, omg .. How did he escape from that choke? Amazing.. What a champ this guy is..
Just a touch behind Holloway and Volk. As much as I dislike Ortega, the Kid has heart, he'll be back. Hopefully he'll come back better than before like his TKZ fight after his Holloway loss. He puts on great fights man, holy hell that was awesome.

Very heartfull post fight speach, espically for the fighter who lost. Many can learn from this I felt that to my gut. Respect is giving, not taken
I know Ortega lost but man this guy is good. Huge heart too... After surviving ground and pound he still went in there and put on fight against the champ till the very last second
Mad respect to the homie for putting on a show
man brian has a lot of heart, much respect to him and Alexander for this amazing fight!
Mass respect. Newcomer here, what a way to draw ppl into such an thrillful, entertaining sport. Speedy recovery to both, God speed and strength.
Honestly nothing but respect to the dude, could’ve easily taken the doctors stoppage by pretending to not be able to see out of that eye. All heart. He almost looked like he contemplated it for a second, but instead he chose to go right back in the fight with a fired up Volkanovski in terminator mode across him. Hope he doesn’t have to take another long break after this one cause I can’t wait to see his next fight.
He probably actually pretended that he could see. Pretty sure he couldn't.

@@timothy6129 95 percent fighters wont survive that beating
Gtf out of here mate .
He could have won it if he followed it up with a ground and pound instead of going for the submission, Volk is already gone his hands were down, Ortega should have go for the kill by pounding him in the head.
Not only a great Match ,but a great post interview from Ortega ..
What a fight and such an inspiring mindset from Ortega 💚🙏🏽
Ortega fights are always a must watch. Win or lose.
that was sad Brian ortega 🥺 I was impressed I will also fight to overcome my enemy(negativeness) till I die .
Negativity*
You better !
Hope this guy gets a belt someday. A real warrior and a great person!
Jesus is the truth
Both displayed talent and heart ❤ both true warriors with honour and integrity.
Damn, Ortega takes incredible damage during title fights. First, Max put on a show against him and now, Volk went beast mode on him. Probably going to need another long recovery.
Brian’s a monster man he lost to the best fighters which is Alexander and Max. And he’s still good and holds up man what a fight!
Only 16 fights in
Jesse Ramirez actually 18 15-2,1NC
I like how Ortega showed love at the end by jiggling volks man bossom. So sweet😂❤
Brian shows the heart of a warrior..❤️
I loved watching this fight what a performance!
Don't you just love it when after a hard fought battle the beef gets squashed and they become boys for life, I love it!
it's pathetic that they smack talk to begin with, we don't see athletes from non combat sports do it, makes fighters come across as low IQ children
@Over Analyzed Precisely - School! It's not so bad when you're a kid but grown men acting the clown is just pathetic let's be honest
Respect to both fighters, event was one of the best I’ve seen 💯
I’m shocked that fight went the distance. I was sure Ortega was finished at the end of the 3rd when his entire corner had to lift him off the canvas and place him on the stool. And I thought it was almost going to be a doctor stoppage when Ortega clearly had a problem following Herb’s fingers and answering.
Brian u still my favorite n one of the greatest. Keep climbing Champ
Damn, Ortega is so cool fighter, hope he will return stronger and take that belt someday. He took so much damage in fights with Alex and Max, hope his steel chin is ok:(
Heart of champ - excellent post fight interview especially considering what he just went through. You've gained a new fan!
Thank you Brian and Alex or Alex and Brian for this epic fight you guys showed what true ufc is all about can't wait to see you guys back in action again peace!
he lost the fight, but winning in life - true warrior
Volkanovskis toughness and heart shouldn’t go unnoticed. Those were tight submissions. Conor tapped 4 times just watching
lmao
Nothing but respect to both of these guys.. That fight was crazy 👌
I'm loving the UFC more and more ! this is the kinda spirit the all UFC fighters should have. After the trash talk and such all it need is RESPECT !
