He trains with both edgar and alvarez so he really should have much better wrestling. At least defensive wrestling

Kevin Lee is a monster. Better striking than Khabib and enough wrestling to hold his own on the ground.

That was my takeaway. If he can atleast slow the take down (no one has yet against Khabib) and keep it standing, he has a good chance. Lee is a good matchup, as is Ortega.

I'm guessing we'll see Ortega beat Max and go after Khabib.

Ortega doesn't have the strength to handle Khabib imo.

Khabib still hasn't fought a skilled college wrestler with good striking. I have Ferg and Lee likely beating him. Wrestling for 3 rounds is wayyy different than 5 rounds; I actually thought Khabib gassed vs Al.

Ortega is a big guy, but more importantly, he's a freak with submissions. He's never in a bad position during his fights. He's a threat everywhere.

Lee and Ferguson would be good fights. Both are slick and can hold their own on the ground

Rumor floating around that the UFC may be trying to make Bisping vs Nick Diaz.

I hope this turns out to be true and this fight gets made, would watch

I saw the fight listed yesterday on the 226 (Miocic vs. Cormier) Wiki (though now not there) along with Holloway vs. Ortega for the 145.

Oh yeah, I'd be interested in that. It's a good matchup. Two volume strikers going at it. The s**t talking alone would be worth it
