So my gut feeling turned out to be right and Ortega grabbed a win. I feel sorry for Yair, but respect to Brian for that beautiful art triangle choke.
I think Ortega proved to be worthy of another title shot. Looking at his record, and not counting that shoulder injury, he only lost to Volk by decision and to Max Holloway by doctor's stoppage.
This boils down the number of potential opponents for Topuria's next fight to 3, in order of likelihood: Volk (rematch), Holloway (provided he doesn't get destroyed by Gaethje in the UFC300 and Ortega.

And if the Octagon fights were not enough, there were some fan brawl, apparently uninterrupted by security, because... Mexico.

Ortega vs Tuporia?  it may be just that Tuporia is much more well-rounded and can hit harder than him. if he didn't win with Volkanovski and Max, less chance of winning in fighting Tuporia. Ortega vs Volkanovski 2 would be more possible.

at the beginning of R1 Yair was winning and then giving his back to Ortega and was mounted. Yair lost hope already after seeing he lost R1 and R2, he was easily mounted in the 3rd round with no struggle, and he's ready to give up.
