He&#8217;ll get the chance to earn that title when he battles reigning champ Max Holloway in the main event of UFC 231 this Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>This Brian Ortega vs. Max Holloway is a tough one for many fans to predict, as both fighters have tons of momentum behind them and possess very well-rounded skillsets. Ortega believes this is why fans are likely to tune in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a matchup where our hands are both good,\u201d Ortega said (via<a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2018\/12\/brian-ortega-not-looking-past-max-holloway-wants-khabib-nurmagomedov-ufc-231\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> MMAJunkie<\/a>). \u201cHe\u2019s a top-game guy and a wrestler, and I\u2019m a bottom-game guy, and I\u2019m a jiu-jitsu guy. I\u2019d watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Ortega is able able to topple Max Holloway at UFC 231, he&#8217;s hoping it will open the door to high-stakes super fights, such as<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/brian-ortega\/brian-ortega-claims-he-accepted-fight-with-khabib-nurmagomedov\/\"> a previously discussed showdown<\/a> with reigning UFC lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got these ideas that I want to go for, and if I\u2019m successful, then hopefully I can start asking Dana White for them,\u201d Ortega said. \u201cIt\u2019s the super fights. Because when you look at it, you go, \u2018OK, the champions are good.\u2019 You become a champion and you do this, and then you look at it, and some of these guys that make super fights, even you, you\u2019re like, \u2018Damn, I wish I was a part of that fight.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like super fights, I want super fight,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I want guys that I can match up well [with], where people don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen. Like whether the title was here or not, I feel like this (fight with Holloway) is a super fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Ortega is thinking about the future, he isn&#8217;t taking this fight against Holloway lightly. He knows this will his toughest fight to date, but ultimately, he is confident he will keep his perfect record intact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not picky, I\u2019ll get it how I can take it,\u201d he said. \u201cSubmission, KO, whatever it is, if it has me winning, I\u2019ll take it. If I\u2019ve got to break an arm in there and then swing it and I still win, I\u2019ll do it. That\u2019s how badly I want to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Brian Ortega can defeat Max Holloway at UFC 231 this Saturday?<\/p>\n<p><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 12\/3\/2018.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian Ortega is ready to become the next UFC featherweight champion.
