This past Saturday, Brian Ortega did something no one else has been able to do. It earned him a title shot – and more. Ortega (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) became the first to stop Frankie Edgar (22-6-1 MMA, 16-6-1 UFC) when he knocked him out clean in the first round of the UFC 222 co-main event. Ortega got a featherweight title shot against champ Max Holloway with the win. Plus, he made a leap not only in the featherweight rankings, but jumped right into the Top 15 of our pound-for-pound list.
