BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Brian Ortega vs. Korean Zombie:

Marlon Moraes, UFC bantamweight: I think Ortega will get it done.

Hunter Azure, UFC bantamweight: I think Korean Zombie. Ortega is coming off that layoff, and Zombie has been looking great in his last few fights.

Casey Kenney, UFC bantamweight: Korean Zombie. They will get into a slugfest and Zombie knocks him out.

Kyler Philipps, UFC bantamweight: Korean Zombie has got some power. I’ve sparred with him before and he hits hard. It is hard to say because Zombie has good jiu-jitsu but Ortega is high-level. I think Zombie will keep it standing and win the fight.

Yorgan De Castro, UFC heavyweight: Tough fight. I think Ortega as I actually like the time off for him.

Tim Johnson, Bellator heavyweight: Korean Zombie has looked good as of late and will get it done.

Giga Chikadze, UFC featherweight: That is a good fight. I’m interested to see how Ortega looks like after two years away. Brian might catch him on the ground with a submission. However, I think Zombie will land the KO punch.

Gillian Robertson, UFC flyweight: I feel like it is a tough one to pick. Korean Zombie has looked good as of late, and we haven’t seen Ortega since the Holloway loss. I do believe Ortega has what it takes and will get the job done.

Tyson Nam, UFC flyweight: I think Korean Zombie will knock Ortega out.

Youssef Zalal, UFC featherweight: I think Korean Zombie is about to shock some people and get a first-round KO over Ortega.
