He needs a statement making win, Ortega is the perfect opponent to get it. Question is can and will Volk get it? He seems content to go the distance.

(Boxing, Martial Arts, UfC is evil) In the eyes of The Lord Jesus Christ, breaking someone’s nose or jaw (especially for money), is extremely wrong! Such a thing is NOT loving or kind at all. And even more so, cheering for another human being to be kicked in the face, or given a bloody nose, or a black eye, beaten up, or “knocked out unconscious ”- Is extremely wrong in His eyes as well. When we see two people fighting we should be appalled or displeased at the sight of it, Not be happy or excited…. He feels that it is extremely wrong to take excitement or pleasure in seeing someone’s son or daughter be being injured or beat up. In the eyes of the Lord it’s wrong! For these reasons, amongst all of the sports, MMA And Boxing are the sports that the HOLY Father despises the most as He considers them as especially evil or wicked. And I am sorry to say it, but He is right. (Psalm 11:5)- “The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.”
