Alex Wolkanowski, former UFC featherweight champion, gave his prediction for the upcoming bout between Brian Ortega and Diego Lopez.

by opez.

"Who am I betting on? Lopez is the favorite and he's really good, but this will be the first time I'll bet against him, simply because of Ortega's resilience. It's a three-round fight - will Lopez be able to do enough damage in the first two rounds to win by decision? At five rounds, I wouldn't risk making a prediction, but at three rounds, I can't bet on Lopez. I think in the standup Lopez will hit more and be more aggressive, but I don't believe he can drop or knockout Ortega, whose chin has been tested. I have a lot of respect for Lopez, and I think he will succeed in the end, but I'll bet on the underdog this time around. I think Ortega's punches will be more timely and calculated."

The fight between Ortega and Lopez will take place June 29 at UFC 303.
