Former UFC featherweight contender Brian Ortega says he is not interested in a fight with undefeated division prospect at the moment Ilya Topuria.

“Guys like Topuria challenge me all the time. I will gladly return them to earth, but as soon as they rise to my level. Only then can they call me. You cannot rely on your mouth to move up the rankings. They need to fight to reach me,” Ortega told The Schmo.

Note that Ortega is now in third place in the UFC featherweight rating, Topuria is in ninth.
