Ortega popping for steroids might be a contributing factor for some people.

Morales vs. Pearce
Omar Morales, DEC
Morales is the better striker, he's also got strong TDD so I do think he can stuff the Pearce's takedowns. Pearce is okay on the feet but he can get hit and Morales is a very technical guy, I can just see Morales being able to land his jabs and leg kicks on Pearce all night. It would be interesting if Pearce can get the takedowns, he's a solid grappler and Morales is pretty good on the ground himself. I think Morales can get a decision here in this one

@Plusmoney Roberson definitely no push over and isn't some can being thrown in here to make someone shine. But there is a for sure clear path to victory here with Maximov. I think Maximov has enough striking to keep it safe/competitive, Roberson def the better striker but in terms of grappling they aren't even on the same planet.

Ortega slapped Korean Zombie’s translator for translating something he said, and did it while TKZ wasn’t there. He’s the annoying ********* at the bar who starts a fight with you out of nowhere for something he thinks he overheard you say. Plus he popped once and he’s almost definitely still juicing to prep for this fight. I hope it’s a leg kick tko for Volkanovski

Glover is tough do not get me wrong, but this is definitely not Jan's hardest fight. The guy just fought Israel ******* Adesanya.

Why is Ortega such a big underdog? He's only got one loss, and yes it was quite a dominant loss but it was to arguably the best striker in the ufc.

I'm even more confused about people who hate Volkanovski as if he scored his own fight. There was only one debatable round in the second Holloway fight and it was close. We all love Max, but let it go. Let the anti-Volk grudge go. He does nothing but quietly work hard and put on good fights.

I don't know If I'm the only one who think this. But I believe this is one of the better UFC cards in a while. It just a deep card with interesting matchup the whole way through. I'm so exited for this card. Its one of the card where I think tons of upsets will happen. Marlon Moreas vs Merab Dvashlivi is the sleaper fight on the card.

The one being called a steroid cheat brian ortega.
Yes I agree should be a great card and the love hate of these individuals will add to it.
PS funny how all these jiujitsu guys are popping for roids whole point is to be able to control stronger men
