Imagine that phone call. "Hey, man, this is Dana, you busy? Feel like fighting in an hour or so?"

Ortega is a count, watching embedded dude looked nowhere near ready to come into this fight. Didn’t see him hit a single thing. A whole lot of sitting around looking exhausted, did some pushups, and eating way too much shite that he shouldn’t be when he’s cutting

He had a 103 degree fever after weight cutting

So what happened to Ortega? I know he said frick cutting weight for the fight, but I thought they settled on a purse penalty and raised the weight class for the bout.

Did something else happen to him?

Ortega had stopping cutting early, they changed the weight to 155 since he wasn’t going to make weight. UFC was ok with that since the fight came together on short notice.

Little bit of a delayed reaction there.

Weird almost. That 2nd to last shot over the back of the head that looked like it started sending him down didn't even grace him. That last left caught him good on the way down though.

Dan Ige is a badass for this. 3 hours notice.

I know Pyfer has some power and all, but that tough guy character just seems really forced for him and his look.

No doubt, but I'm sure they threw a desperate bag of money at him that made his decision easier.

Beside the nice paycheck, he probably also watched Pereira earn a shitload of goodwill among the UFC and the fanbase, which all made it an easy decision.

I'm so confused about who weighs what right now regarding Ortega and Ige.

Good crowd and vibe so far, they def booed the Ortega announcement but for sure a fun beer drinking time. Last few fights have been solid as well.
