UFC 231 results — Max Holloway vs Brian Ortega Live updates highlights fight card
A pair of title bouts as attractive as any other this year headline UFC’s return to Toronto on Saturday as UFC 231 invades Scotiabank Arena.
Max Holloway squares off with unbeaten Brian Ortega in a featherweight title bout originally scheduled for July. In the co-main event, Valentina Shevchenko and former strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk meet for the UFC’s vacant women’s flyweight title.
Holloway (14-3), who looks to put an incredibly difficult year behind him in which twice he was pulled from fights due to medical reasons, looks for his 13th straight win. Ortega (14-0, 1 NC), meanwhile, looks to finish his eighth straight opponent inside the Octagon.
Shevchenko (15-3), a former bantamweight title challenger, gets a second chance to fight for the 125-pound title she was denied in September when then-champion Nicco Montano was hospitalized due to a difficult weight cut and pulled out. A victory for Jedrzejczyk (15-2) would make her the first woman in UFC history to win titles in multiple divisions.
