Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-01-02, good fight between Brian Ortega and Diego Brandao: it gets three stars.
The undefeated black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu Brian Ortega entered this fight with a perfect record of 9-0-0 (56% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.20 featherweight in the world. He fought just once in 2015 beating Thiago Tavares (=Tavares vs Ortega).
His opponent, Diego Brandao (black belt in Bjj as well), has a mma record of 20-10-0 (80% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.32 in the same weight class. He suffered two consecutive losses between 2013 and 2014, against Dustin Poirier (=Poirier vs Brandao) and Conor McGregor (=McGregor vs Brandao), but then he has won twice defeating Jim Hettes and Katsunori Kikuno (=Brandao vs Kikuno). Ortega vs Brandao is on the undercard of Robbie Lawler vs Carlos Condit – UFC 195. Watch the video and rate this fight!
Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-06-06, very nice back and forth battle between Thiago Tavares and Brian Ortega: it is close to get four stars (UFC Fight of the Night).
The black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu Thiago Tavares entered this fight with a professional mma record of 19-5-1 (79% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.15 featherweight in the world. He suffered his last loss in 2013, against Khabib Nurmagomedov (=Tavares vs Nurmagomedov), but then he came back to win beating Justin Salas and Robbie Peralta (=Peralta vs Tavares).
His opponent, the undefeated Brian Ortega (black belt in Bjj as well), has a perfect record of 8-0-0 (50% submission victory rate – he has never won via ko/tko) and he fought twice last year: he won over Keoni Koch and Mike De La Torre but then the result was changed to no-contest since he tested positive for drostanolone. Tavares vs Ortega is on the undercard of Tim Boetsch vs Dan Henderson – UFC Fight Night 68. Watch the video and rate this fight!
