UFC is coming to town on Saturday morning, when UFC Long Island kicks off at UBS Arena before the main event boasts a pair of fighters hoping for a shot at the featherweight belt.
On the latest episode of The Fight Fan, Pete Hoffman is joined by one of those fighters in Brian Ortega, who is taking on Yair Rodriguez in the first and second ranked fighters in their division.
"He's unorthodox," Ortega said of his opponent. "The way he moves, very different and unique."
While he anticipates a difficult fight and one that could result in the winner getting a title shot next time in the octagon, Ortega still believes he will be his typical flashy self.
"I think the show just happens naturally," Ortega said. "My main thing is just trying to win...figuring out a way to finish the fight and go home, and sometimes, these guys are so tough it just turns into a war."
