And yet still vastly underrated.
I was going to wait until he fought Max to start beating the drum for Ortega again but considering Max is currently out indefinitely I can’t wait another few months to get Ortega rated accurately.
Ortega currently isn’t a ‘top’ fighter in game as his style is to apply intense forward pressure and strike with zero fear of being taken down (infact that’s WHY he fights like he does) but his stats currently don’t allow you to do that in game.
His striking stamina and endurance are far too low, as stated above Ortega has gone 5 rounds twice and to the third round in another 7 of his 14 fights and he has got finishes in the third round in 5 of those 7 fights. Not only that he is always pushing the pace and on the front foot. He has not once even looked tired at any point, in any fight. People can’t deal with his endurance and end up getting finished.
Striking stamina 87 to 89
Endurance 89 to 92
Marathoner level 3
Due to his fighting style he frequently takes big shots but he’s never been rocked and only been dropped once in his UFC career and that was because his feet got crossed up against Guida and he popped straight back up. The guy has been in there with Cub, Edgar and Moicano (who recently KO’d Cub) he has the same chin rating as Edgar (who always shows incredible recovery and rightly has 99 heart but he does get dropped a lot.)
Look at him take a clean head kick like it’s nothing
Chin strength 90 to 92
His blocking is also on he low side. He has a unique blocking style where he puts his hands to his temples and uses his elbows to deflect strikes.
Blocking 88 to 91
Ortega is an absolute monster, he’s 14-0 and we still don’t know just how good he is.

Repost... for the 4th time. Maybe now he will finally get the buff he’s deserved all along.
Recap;
Striking stamina 87 to 89
Endurance 89 to 92
Marothoner level 3
However I’m now tweaking my previous suggestions;
Blocking 88 to 90 - didn’t block much tonight but still needs buffing based on previous fights
Chin 90 to 96, Heart (?) to 94, Toughness (?) to 96 - Made. Of. Iron. How did he not go down once in that fight?
Accuracy 88 to 90, Striking speed 88 to 90 - he was able to land on Max throughout (yes he got smashed to bits) but he did far better than his already too low ratings suggest.
