Brian Ortega and Chan Sung Jung will finally collide tonight.
In what’s considered a contender fight for a future featherweight title bout against Alexander Volkanovski, Brian Ortega and Chan Sung Jung jockey for the No. 1 spot in a five-round main event. Ortega is fighting for the first time since suffering his title loss to Max Holloway, which effectively ended his undefeated streak.
Still, Ortega has a strong UFC record with wins over Clay Guida, Frankie Edgar, and Cub Swanson. The 29-year-old has only won his UFC fights by either submission or TKO. Jung comes in on the strength of a two-fight winning streak, with all of his UFC fights ending by either TKO or submission.
In the co-main event, former UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion Jessica Andrade will fight Katlyn Chookagian. Should Chookagian get a win over the No. 6 ranked competitor then it will be the biggest victory in her UFC career thus far.
Also, expect Modestas Bukauskas, James Krause, Thomas Almeida, Mateusz Gamrot, Gillian Robertson, and Said Nurmagomedov to compete on tonight’s fight night show. Check out the advertised line-up below:
