He's really popular and gets like $70k a fight.

That's worth it for Dana to always put him on cards whenever possible

Way too many other fighters for this dude to be getting like 5 fights per year and now is taking a fight at 170 now too? Nah not a good look to me

or cowboy knows he wont get another shot at 155 again so hes trying 170 now. kinda like Dodson leaving the 125 division

Bruh.. Cowboy's too big for 145.

He got half his stomach removed and he says he has no problem and barely has to cut to make 155... breh

Not to mention he fights often so I doubt he really adds too many pounds on when he's not fighting.

He's every bit of 6ft 155 is a big cut for him. He would kill himself trying to make 145

I'm going by what he is saying. Really interesting to see what happens to him at 155 now tho since he lost twice to RDA.

He's reliable tho. He makes weight and doesn't get injured

I hear you. I just rather would know was he picked or did nobody step up? Or did anyone know about this match up. A lot of fighters in the UFC wanna fight to get compensated because of this reebok deal.

 

[keepemup]

Wow. Ortega looks complete.
