Ortega called the fight with Lopez just a definite test

UFC welterweight Brian Ortega has spoken out about his upcoming fight against Brazilian Diego Lopez.

"The stakes are actually not as high for me in this fight as they probably are for Diego. A win over me would certainly give him a chance to contend for a title fight. For me, however, a fight with him is a kind of test that will test me and my standing in the UFC. You have these hungry lions coming up to you and wanting to take your spot and they're almost there, you've been fighting here for a while, but can you hold on and keep your position and yourself?" - Ortega stated at a press conference in Las Vegas.

As a reminder, Ortega's fight with Lopez will take place on June 29 at UFC 303.
