He wasn’t responding correct to the doctor/refs questions for over a minute, at that point they should have called it.

I mean same thing happened in the Holloway fight at the end of the 4th. Here's the thing, if it wasn't a Championship fight I'd agree with the corner stopping the fight. But when you're fighting for the championship you gotta leave it all out there

Imagine he did KO or submit volkanovski just imagine the controversy after the amount of time ortega got to be picked up from the canvas, having the doctor an herb Dean asking him to follow his finger to asking him how many fingers he's holding up all that time is recovery time. I don't think he shoulda been out for the forth he didn't know where he was an it's alright saying ye he made a comeback in the 5th but that's 2 heavy beatings he's took first from Holloway an second from volkanovski, real heavy head trauma the kind that shows after the fight and later on down the road. He was out a long time after the holloway fight an he'll be out for a good stretch after this also, great fighter with massive balls hope all stays well for him 🙏

Ortega reminds me of Rory Macdonald, always in war, getting multiple title fights, always a contender but never really good enough to win it all. If Max and Volkanovski retires then he has a chance. I see Bellator in the future of Bryan Ortega.

He took a lot of damage… but mostly it was exhaustion. Ortega has spoken of the faith he put in his new found team, I think they knew that he had more to give. And in turn he proved he did by winning a championship round against a man who is largely unbeaten in them.

He'd already fractured his face (orbital bones right eye socket) in the 3rd round so in the end it likely didn't make a whole lot of difference. He got a little more beat up and possibly concussed but we're splitting hairs at this point. After all, it was a title fight for all the marbles so i don't think anyone has any regrets. There certainly would be regrets on the Ortega side otherwise

Insane fight, though. Don't know how AV survived Ortega's submissions. Ortega is super quick, smooth, and tight with his submissions.

Correction Chael.. they did not stop the Holloway fight due to exhaustion.. They stopped it because he looked like the F*ckin Elephant Man from Max Beating his face in.

Not sure if you recall but Ortega was in that fight entirely during and after the third round, anything is possible. Just look at Moraes vs Dvalishvilli, I'd say there were 3 times were that fight could have been stopped but the refs gave the fighter a chance to fight and he ended up coming out on top performing dominantly after his roughest moments.

Chael, “let me reword that, I don’t know that I don’t believe that if they shouldn’t have not not stopped the fight but they didn’t stop the fight, but should they have but I don’t know if they know that they know that.”

Hindsight's always twenty-twenty unless your opponent smashes your orbital bone and severs your optical nerve. They should have stopped the fight get a grip where were the doctors in their expert judgment or is it just the Show Must Go On?

Honestly it could have been stopped after the third when Ortega couldn’t answer the questions Dean was asking him. Herb must need someone to die before he ever stops a fight. He stops some fights and then let’s others take career changing or life threatening damage. See Weidman vs Rockhold for perfect example

I'd like to see Ortega move up and put on some weight.

It's on the coaches really though they know when too push there fighter and when to save..... One thing for certain Brain Ortega was still extremely dangerous rd4 and rd5.

It's a title fight ppl, it's his 2nd shot at the title by the way, of course not, it could have changed his life... it's not a regular fight,you don't have many opportunity.. That's why he sign and train for..

Dana White says Ortega's corner should of stopped the fight, but in reality the UFCs assigned referee should know the rules of the sport, and should of stopped it, after Ortega's corner needed to help him up after the third round. According to the rules Volk won by TKO at the end of the third round

Only Mike Bell scored R5 for Ortega, the two others didn’t.

As much as I respect chaels opinion, I would like to hear (more, if any) mma comentators talk about what happened between rounds 3 and 4, with ortegas corner helping him back to the stool and what happened with the doctors/ref assessment of Ortegas cognitition in that moment. He was not responding to herbs questions coherently and looked completely out of it. Should the fight have been stopped? Albeit he did bounce back in the 4th and 5th and performed like a true fighter (all repect to ortega for overcoming that and giving one of the best fights in ufc history) I would like to hear more "respected" people in the mma community address it other than just volkanovski himself. Nobody is talking about it!
