Brian Ortega Looking To Become The New Champion
3 years ago1-1 in his last two contests, Brian Ortega (15-1) showed the powers that be enough to earn a title shot for the featherweight title in UFC 266's main event on Saturday. Known for his dangerous ground game and ability to pull out late victories, Ortega enters the Octagon against Alexander Volkanovski, who is a perfect 9-for-9 in the UFC. With seven of Ortega's 15 career wins coming by submission, it could only take one ground exchange for Ortega to become the new champion. DraftKings does not see that happening, however, listing Ortega as the underdog with a salary of $7,600. Throughout his UFC career, Ortega averages 74.3 fantasy points per contest. Ortega is absolutely a viable underdog option if he comes out like he did against the Korean Zombie.
