Ortega commented on Volkanovski's defeat to Topuria

“Thank you Ilya. He won. It was impressive - Elijah pulled off a very, very devastating knockout. As for the Wolf, I try to look at it from different angles. Topuria's plan for the fight was really good: stay calm, move back, throw powerful punches... And then the Wolf, I don't know. It seemed to me that this was not the same Wolf, right? Seeing him and fighting him, I think you're moving differently. But obviously you adapt to every opponent you have, so who knows. But “I’m curious to see what happens in the featherweight division now,” Ortega said.
