I’m not an MMA expert by any means so this is just from my observation but I feel like if Ortega doesn’t get caught with too many big hits early and can somehow get into a favorable position on the ground by round 2 or early round 3 and look for a submission I can see him taking it here. The only thing is Volk doesn’t go down too often and is definitely durable for 5 round fights, Ortega last went 5 with Zombie and lost to Max while Volk went the distance twice against Max and won both. How I can picture the fight going is either Volk by KO/TKO in the 1st/2nd or Ortega via Submission, if I were to guess a choke of some sort in the 2nd or 3rd round. Again I don’t think Volk goes down easy so it’s gonna be tough but I think Ortega might be able to squeeze it out. He’s KO’d some good fighters in his career but none on Volk’s level but it shows he has good hands as well as ground game. If it ends up going to decision I think Volk takes it. My bad for the damn paragraph
