Flyweights John Moraga and Dustin Ortiz will be going down to Georgia, and they’ll be looking for a show to steal. The pair will square off at the upcoming UFC Fight Night 35 in Duluth, GA.
UFC officials confirmed the bout yesterday.
UFC Fight Night 35 gains John Moraga vs Dustin Ortiz
“Chicano” John Moraga (13-2), for all his talent and forward momentum, ended up on the wrong side of a highlight reel moment in his last bout:The MMA Lab member became the first person finished by Demetrious Johnson in “Mighty Mouse’s” UFC tenure. Prior to that submission loss, Moraga had been on a roll; the submission ace had notched up 7 consecutive victories, including wins over top 125 pounders Chris Cariaso and Ulysses Gomes. Now, Moraga will be looking to bounce back and begin his quest for UFC gold anew. Will that road back start with a win over Ortiz?
Dustin Ortiz (12-2) is practically surging at the moment, going 4/4 on his current run. This includes a (T)KO victory over the highly touted Jose Maria Tome in his Octagon debut at UFC Fight Night 32. The Roufusport will be looking to make it 5 in a row and make a case for a shot at the winner of the upcoming Joseph Benavides vs. Demetrious Johnson flyweight title bout. Will he shoot himself to the upper echelons of the division with a win over “Chicano” John?
