Former UFC title challenger Brian “T-City” Ortega faces off against up-and-coming contender Diego Lopes in the Co-Main event at UFC 303 this weekend. To celebrate, we’ve got two UFC Strike Challenges in store with a chance to earn a Series 2 Moment of Brian Ortega and Diego Lopes.
First, we commemorate the rematch between two of the best the featherweight division has to offer, Brian “T-City” Ortega and Yair “El Pantera” Rodríguez. At the beginning of the third round in their five round Co-Main event, Ortega pressed Rodriguez up against the fence, leveraging position with an underhook. Ortega swept Rodriguez to the mat, immediately transitioning into full mount, and after a heavy elbow on the ground, Ortega locked in an arm triangle submission to come out victorious in the rematch following a loss in their first meeting.
Next, we look back at the epic clash at UFC 300, between ranked featherweight contender “Super” Sodiq Yusuff and surging prospect Diego Lopes. After landing a couple hard calf kicks to begin the round, Lopes connected with a devastating right uppercut, left hook combination to send Yusuff down to the canvas. Once the fight got back up to the feet, Lopes landed another heavy uppercut, knocking Yusuff to the ground, and finished the fight by TKO from the back mount.
