In a recent interview, current UFC featherweight champion Elijah Topuria told Max Holloway that if he didn't like the conditions for the fight, he, Elijah, could fight Brian Ortega. Today, Ortega reacted to these words of the champion.
"Let's make the fight in Spain, man, let's go. If you could just snap your fingers then they would have sent me a contract by now, Elijah gave his consent and Volkanovski decided to wait. The UFC has their man right now, I'm ready. Everyone knows - when my fight takes place, it won't be boring," Ortega said in an interview with YouTube channel Kanpai Media.
