So far Brian’s striking is looking really polished and Zombie seems to not have found his groove yet. #UFCFightIsland6

Takedown attempt makes things interesting. Now the question is does TKZ hesitate to throw or does he get more confident cuz he stuffed it? #FightIsland6

It’s a different feeling with no crowd, reactions aren’t there and everything feels forced, seems like zombie is struggling with it. #UFCFightIsland6
— Alex Volkanovski (@alexvolkanovski) October 18, 2020
Solid performance by Ortega, smart game plan against a flat footed banger #UFCFightIsland @ufc
