After all, both are still quite young at 27 years old apiece.<\/p>\n<p>Max Holloway and Brian Ortega recognize this possibility themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, he ain\u2019t going nowhere and neither am I and there\u2019s no more room at the top,\u201d Ortega said of Holloway at the UFC 231 pre-fight press conference this week (transcript via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmanytt.com\/brian-ortega\/max-holloway-brian-ortega-expect-ufc-231-to-serve-as-first-of-many-fights-between-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMANytt<\/a>). \u201cLike I said, no matter what happens I don\u2019t see him going down and spiralling down in a crazy thing, neither do I see myself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever happens, we\u2019re going to fall down, get back up and then challenge each other again. So this is the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Max Holloway agreed with this comment from Brian Ortega \u2014 though he added that their future fights might well occur at a heavier weight class.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMe and him are the same age,&#8221; the champion said of his UFC 231 opponent. &#8220;We\u2019ll probably run into each other a couple different weight classes, who knows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur backgrounds, Hawaiian and Mexican, we love food so you might see us fighting for the daddest man on the planet [belt] one time so who knows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Max Holloway will enter the UFC 231 main event on an insane, 12-fight win streak, highlighted by wins over Jose Aldo (twice), Antony Pettis, Ricardo Lamas, Jeremy Stephens, Cub Swanson, Charles Oliveira, and Andre Fili. Brian Ortega, meanwhile, is a perfect 14-0 as a pro. Highlights of his record include defeats of Frankie Edgar, Cub Swanson, Renato Moicano, Clay Guida, Diego Brandao and Thiago Tavares.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><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\/6\/2018. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Max Holloway and Brian Ortega are two of the most dangerous and versatile young fighters in MMA, and this Saturday, in the main event of UFC 231, they&#8217;ll fight.
