What’s next for Brian Ortega and Korean Zombie after UFC Fight Island 6?
In the main event of UFC Fight Island 6, Brian Ortega was returning after nearly two years away to battle Chan Sung Jung aka Korean Zombie.
UFC president, Dana White said the winner would be getting the next title shot and it was Ortega getting the job done. “T-City” dominated the fight from start to finish and even dropped Zombie twice.
Now, following the event, here is what I think should be next for Brian Ortega and Korean Zombie after UFC Fight Island 6.
Brian Ortega
No one knew what to expect from the returning Brian Ortega. He hadn’t fought since he was dominated by Max Holloway at UFC 231 back in December of 2018. Since then, he had a plethora of injuries and surgeries and even made a new team around him.
Although many think ring rust is real, Ortega proved that wrong as he looked phenomenal and it might have been the best Ortega we have seen in the UFC. His striking and striking defense was phenomenal and now it appears he will be fighting Alexander Volkanovski for the featherweight title next.
Ortega vs. Volkanovski is a great stylistic matchup. On the feet, both men have proven their striking is much better. Volkanovski also likes to wrestle but taking down Ortega could present some problems. The fight should happen sometime in early 2021 and headline or co-headline a pay-per-view event.
