The Hawaii native squared off against Ortega in a thrilling four-round war. The dangerous Ortega overcame the storm and attacked before Holloway found success and won the fight.

The fight turned into Ortega’s favor by the third round as he fearlessly attacked. Holloway weathered the storm, by the time the horn buzzed and round ended.

Ortega made it to the fourth round in which he took a lot of brutal beating, but the cage-side physician calls off the fight, meaning it goes a TKO victory at 5:00 of round four for Holloway.

With the win, Holloway now won 13 consecutive fights, with his last loss came in 2013 against former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor via decision.

Holloway indicated he’d be open to moving up in a lightweight division.

“I made the weight, I made it look easy,” Ortega said. “Dana White I want to be number one pound for pound, there are some guys at ‘55, let’s do it.”

After the loss, Ortega is now 14-1.
