    That's Ortega's round, we have a fight here lads.
    He's hurting him when he hits him.

    Did not expect Holloway to let him in like that, definitely a fight on here!

    I'll give that to Ortega, even though he seemed to tire towards the end of the round. I wonder if Holloway will get on his bike a bit now after that.

    I wish Ortega threw a few more leg kicks, they looked nasty.

    Much better round from Ortega there but Holloway still could have edged it, great round.

    Ortega out on his feet. Nothing left. Great heart though.

    I think Rener basically called the doctor over there to end it. If he did massive respect to him for that call, Ortega is out of it.

    I'd love to see him move up to lightweight, there's 3 or 4 amazing fights waiting for him up there. He's completely cleared out the featherweight division.

    Rogan is such a terrible commentator.

    Ortega looks like he has an arm injury too the way he’s holding it.

    The biggest issue with Rogan is whoever's the champion at the time is "the best ever" after one or two defences.

    he's really going on about the best ever tonight, how many times does he have to say it....all through the night. Commentary team was poor overall tonight for some reason, I don't remember Felder co-commentating with Rogan before.

    Holloway v McGregor would obviously be incredible. I'd have to think if Holloway got hit a few times the way Ortega caught him tonight, he'd be a lot more affected by McGregor's power. McGregor is great (or at least was) at sliding out of range too. Holloway probably has a better gas tank over 5 rounds, so it'd definitely be interesting.

    Holloway had nothing for McGregor five years ago. Both have gotten better, Max a lot better than he was, switches stances with ease, moves in and out but still gets hit and seems to accept a few to get his volume off. Get McGregor on the salads and make it happen

    Outstanding by Max and that's the division cleaned out.

    I would love to see him move to light weight, he'd be a match for any of them
    If I had one mma wish it would be Ferguson Holloway...two fighters who would go all out for five.

    Yeah. I don't know how Rogan can say Max's reign is better than Aldos reign already. Is Joe forgetting who aldo beat throughout the years names like Mendez x2, Korean zombie, Faber, lamas etc.

    In saying that Max looked unreal last night, what a show.

    I'll be honest I thought whatever happened at the weight cut in the summer might have f**ked up Max permanently but I'm glad I was wrong.
    In a way I expected Sheva to knock out Jedrzejczyk but not surprised at that result in the slightest. The latter goes back to waiting on the eventual Andrade vs Namajunas fight.

    I onow he is the hype man but I do wonder if ihe is speaking in the context of fghters being so much more rounded now and having more skills and there are less westler v striker v bjj.
