Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-09-24, disappointing fight between Jussier Formiga and Dustin Ortiz: it gets three stars.The black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo Jussier Formiga da Silva entered this fight with a professional mma record of 18-4-0 (44% submission victory rate – he has never won via ko/tko) and he is ranked as the No.4 flyweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Demetrious Johnson). He fought twice last year beating Wilson Reis and losing to Henry Cejudo (via split decision, Formiga vs Cejudo).
His opponent, Dustin Ortiz, has a record of 15-5-0 (67% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.22 in the same weight class but he lost two out of his last three fights, against Joseph Benavidez (=Benavidez vs Ortiz) and Wilson Reis. Between these two bouts he defeated Willie Gates. Formiga vs Ortiz is on the undercard of Cris Cyborg Justino vs Lina Lansberg – UFC Fight Night 95. Watch the video and rate this fight!
