Joe Rogan will be present for the Brian Ortega vs. Yair Rodriguez bout

Brian Ortega and Yair Rodriguez are set to compete in this weekend's main event as part of a tantalizing clash of potential title contenders.

Rodriguez claimed that a victory over Ortega would guarantee him a shot versus Alexander Volkanovski next. He says to have been informed of this by the UFC themselves.

Having only lost twice in his pro career (once against Max Holloway and Volkanovski), Ortega seems primed to reach UFC gold.

'T-City' feels he is the deadliest opponent that Volanovski has fought. He highlighted the danger he was able to put Volkanovski in during a recent interview with InsideFighting.

"He's won the belt, he's defended the belt, and the one person who put him in the most danger was me. I put him in the most danger he has ever been in, in his career, right?"

Watch the full interview below:

Will Volkanovski go up to lightweight and test his mettle? Or will he seek to replicate his teammate Israel Adesanya's success and totally wipe out the entire featherweight division?

The clash between Ortega and Rodriguez is set to be an absolute classic. Title implications will add further fuel to the fire, as these two fighters bring the intensity, regardless of the circumstances.
