LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Fight Island 6: Ortega vs. The Korean Zombie Results throughout the night (Sat. 17th. October 2020) from the Flash Forum on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

One-time UFC featherweight title challengers, Brain ‘T-City’ Ortega, and ‘The Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung look to finally settle their differences, and subsequently earn a crack at Alexander ‘The Great’ Volkanovski’s throne.

Originally scheduled to headline UFC Fight Night Busan in December of last year – Ortega was forced to withdraw after he suffered a knee injury. In his place stepped former lightweight champion, Frankie ‘The Answer’ Edgar – with Jung scoring a quickfire opening-round knockout win.

Limited to just one Octagon appearance since UFC 231 in December of 2018 – Ortega dropped his first professional defeat in a one-sided fourth-round doctor’s stoppage defeat to former featherweight kingpin, Max ‘Blessed’ Holloway.

In a reworked co-main event, one-time flyweight title challenger, Katlyn ‘Blonde Fighter’ Chookagian welcomes former strawweight titleholder, Jéssica ‘Bate Estaca’ Andrade to the 125-pounds ranks in a high-stakes pairing.

Returning to winning ways at UFC Vegas in September, Chookagian managed a one-sided unanimous decision win over Antonina ‘La Pantera’ Shevchenko – following a title challenger loss to her younger sister, Valentina ‘Bullet’ Shevchenko.

Testing the flyweight ranks for the first time in her promotional stint, Brazilian powerhouse, Andrade has dropped two on the trot; a strawweight title defence defeat to Zhang Weili, and a rematch loss to fellow former champion, Rose Namajunas at UFC 251 also on ‘Fight Island’ in July.

UFC Fight Island 6 – Main Card Betting Preview

UFC Fight Island 6 is the latest event from the premier MMA promotions current stay on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. In the main event, we have a mouth-watering featherweight clash between Brian Ortega and ‘The Korean Zombie. The winner of this bout will likely get the next crack at 145lb king Alexander Volkanovski as well […]

Prior to that the former strawweight champion Jessica Andrade is making her flyweight debut against one-time title contender Katlyn Chookagian. UFC Fight Island 6 is home to some of the best MMA matchups you’ll see in 2020. Join LowKickMMA as we preview the five main card fights main card. We’ll be looking at the odds, predicting the winner in each scrap and hopefully winning some money come fight night.

Brian Ortega vs. ‘The Korean Zombie’

Brian Ortega heads into this fight the underdog at +162. The bookmakers are counting on the fact Ortega has not fought in almost two years since suffering a brutal beatdown at the hands of former featherweight champion Max Holloway. We tend to agree with the oddsmakers on this one. Ortega is biting off a bit much for his first fight back. The favourite Chan Sung Jung AKA ‘The Korean Zombie’ is better than any fighter Ortega has ever beat and is rightly fancied at odds of -185. He’s been active as of late and is looking sharp. Jung is the better striker, and he hits hard. He should have the ability to avoid getting into too many grappling exchanges with Ortega and ultimately pick up the win. ‘The Korean Zombie’ is certainly someone we will be adding to our UFC Fight Island 6 parlay.

Katlyn Chookagian vs. Jessica Andrade

Katlyn Chookagian is only a slight underdog heading into this bout at odds of +125. We’d actually fancy her to beat pretty much any other featherweight fighter besides Jessica Andrade. The Brazilian knockout artist is moving up in weight and we expect it to be the making of her. Andrade was always considered a huge 115lb fighter. With an easier cut and thinner division, she should be able to dominate – until she comes up against the champion. The -150 favourite Andrade should make a statement in the UFC Fight Island 6 co-main event this weekend. We’re actually tempted to pick her to get the finish against Chookagian at +220.

Jimmy Crute vs. Modestas Bukauskas

This is a fun fight between two young light-heavyweight prospects. Jimmy Crute is one of the biggest favourites on this card at odds of -350 and you can see why. He has much more UFC experience and several wins of top tier opposition. The underdog, Modestas Bukauskas doesn’t have the same pedigree but has been rapidly improving as of late. The London based Lithuanian fighter looked sensational in his UFC debut earlier this year and was even awarded a performance of the night bonus. At odds of +275 it’s hard not to pick Bukauskas to do it again in what should be a 50/50 fight.

Claudio Silva vs. James Krause

This is a second fight on the bounce we are actually backing the underdog. Claudio Silva has been priced at +140 heading into this one and it’s not really clear why. The Brazilian submission specialist has been in great form as of late. Since returning from a four-year layoff Silva has tapped three consecutive opponents. His one career loss was in his MMA debut 13 years ago. James Krause is a tough, game fighter who will give him hell but as of late seems to be more focused on training the next wave of athletes. Just 13 days’ notice for this fight but the bookmakers still fancy his chances at odds of -170.

Thomas Almeida vs. Jonathan Martinez

Thomas Almeida was once one of the most promising prospects in MMA. After back-to-back losses, he took some time away from fighting. Almost three years later he returns the favourite against Jonathan Martinez – the bookmakers have him at odds of -125. Almeida is a wrecking machine at his best and we predict he will look close to that against Martinez who is only a slight underdog at +100.

Rener Gracie Tests Positive For COVID-19, Won’t Corner Brian Ortega

Brian Ortega will have to face The Korean Zombie without the guidance of head coach Rener Gracie.

Ortega meets Korean Zombie in the UFC Fight Island 6 headliner this Saturday in what is a highly-anticipated featherweight affair.

For Ortega, it will be his first outing since suffering a brutal fourth-round TKO defeat to Max Holloway in their featherweight title fight back in December 2018. And his task has become even harder following Gracie’s positive COVID-19 test.

Gracie had actually tested positive for COVID-19 a month ago along with his wife. They later tested negative only for Gracie to test positive again during the UFC’s recent testing procedure in Las Vegas before flying out to Fight Island in Abu Dhabi.

Gracie was hoping he would still be able to go due to his previous negative tests but was told that the residual effects of COVID-19 would remain in his body for three months in addition to the fact that there could be complications in Abu Dhabi.

Gracie posted about the news on social media late last week.

“They said ‘Rener, if you get to Abu Dhabi, and you test positive there, you’re gonna quarantine for 14 days in Abu Dhabi before they even let you come home,” Gracie said. “And you’re not gonna be able to go to the fight. You won’t be participating in anything.’ There’s zero tolerance. … Even though you’re not contagious, you can’t go with a positive COVID test. You guys, I was so bummed.

“Of course, I let Brian know. … He’s super bummed but I assured him. I said, ‘Brian, luckily, this skillset that I bring to the table and that I’ve coached you for over 15 years in, is the most ingrained in you. Of all your skillsets in fighting. And it’s the one that you least need coaching on. So if anyone has to stay behind, it should be me.’”

What do you think of Gracie not being able to corner Ortega?
