Brian Ortega responds to Alexander Volkanovski calling him fake: ‘Nothing to back up your statement’

BAD MMA News — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 21:00:45 +0000

Brian Ortega thinks it’s Alexander Volkanovski who’s being two-faced, not the other way around. Things are starting to heat up between the two, who just spent weeks together filming Season 29 of “The Ultimate Fighter.” UFC featherweight champion Volkanovski is expected to defend his title against Ortega in the fall, but that hasn’t stopped the two from trading barbs. Following filming of the show, Volkanovski (22-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC) accused Ortega of being fake and awkward, claiming that he was done with him. Though he later admitted that he’s probably looking for a reason to hate him, it didn’t appear that he was too big of a fan of Ortega’s personality

BAD MMA News — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 01:52:01 +0000

“The Ultimate Fighter” returns Tuesday for a 29th season and after a three-year hiatus. The long-running UFC reality competition has produced 10 future champions and a bevy of future superstars. One of those was Michael Bisping , who won Season 3 of the show at light heavyweight, then went on to become middleweight champion nearly 10 years later. These days, Bisping is a fixture on UFC broadcasts as an analyst after announcing his retirement in 2018. He’s in the UFC Hall of Fame already, and when he hung up his gloves, he held the record (since surpassed) for the most fights in the UFC

Brian Ortega claps back at ‘b*tch’ Colby Covington for trashing ‘TUF 29′ coaching choices

BAD MMA News — Fri, 28 May 2021 22:30:48 +0000

Welterweight contender Colby Covington doesn’t think the UFC’s choice of “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 29 coaches adds much entertainment value. In recent months, Covington (16-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) was rumored to coach the series against friend-turned-rival Jorge Masvidal. However, when Masvidal was granted a title shot against UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman for UFC 261 in April, the promotion went with featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovksi and Brian Ortega instead. In a recent interview with reporter James Lynch, Covington called the decision a “mockery” and added he thinks the UFC brass must be kicking themselves for it

Alexander Volkanovski entered “The Ultimate Fighter” with the intention of stirring the pot and it looks like he achieved his goal.

Prior to the filming of the show, things seemed pretty respectful and cordial between the two.
