LAS VEGAS — Brian Ortega needed less than one round at UFC 222 to do something never done before. After becoming the first person ever to knock out Frankie Edgar, there’s no telling what this surfing Californian could do next. “I have worked really hard to get here and it’s even more surreal than I could have imagined,” Ortega said. He also hopes to begin preparations soon to fight Holloway, who has won 12 straight bouts since losing to Conor McGregor in 2013. Shortly after Ortega’s win, Holloway tweeted “Ufc 226” — otherwise known as the promotion’s big summer show in Vegas on July 7.
