Pretty much exactly as I expected that fight to go! Although JJ did a little better than I thought against the strength of Valentina

Can't believe anyone thought JJ had any chance. Those 4 losses in Mauy Thai to Val should have been a clue.

Ortega's Gameplan (striking-wise) =

Max Holloway is impervious to punches to the head.  Brian Ortega needs to attack the body and legs; that's how you slow down Holloway.  Then when least expected, come up high with head kicks.


*When it comes to striking, that is.  He can snatch a Sub at any time.

Ortega is crazy tough, but if he's got some magic up his sleeve, he better find it soon.
