Brian ortega and did not rule out a second fight against Yair Rodriguez. He, however, is betting that the American will have to spend a period of inactivity to deal with his injury before returning to the octagon.
“That was s***. It's a difficult sport, these things happen. And everything was going well. We would have a big fight, you know? It's sad when this happens, but we can't do anything about it. He (Ortega) will probably need to undergo shoulder surgery now. I had surgery there and it was a nightmare. It takes a long time to recover. We’ll see what happens, but it’s great to know that both of them are thinking about rematches,” said Dana.
