Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega are all set to face each other at the UFC 266 event. The two fighters are presently acting as coaches in The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 29. This has certainly fueled the rivalry between these two featherweight fighters, as we can see from a recently released clip by ESPN.

Both fighters seemed to be taking constant shots at each other, with ‘The Great’ coming off as much more furious. He said, “You thought you were the man, you thought you were the man when you were winning and now things aren’t going well and you’re trying to play it cool so I don’t rub it in.”

The adversity between the two seemed to be increasing with time, as was evident by this conversation. Even Ortega did not seem to back down and was constantly trying to get under Volkanovski’s skin. He said, “Yo have no comebacks, hard to feed off someone who has weak energy.”

To this Volkanovski replied, “Weak energy, you serious, you just stand there looking in the camera, just trying to look all pretty, we barely get a word out of you.”

Ortega – “It’s not my fault you ugly mate, Common dog relax.” 

Volkanovski – “Good lucks will only get you so far mate once we get inside the Octagon, I’ll punch that prettiness out your face, don’t you worry about that. I don’t need to look pretty. I am a fighter.”
