Moicano has the length advantage here, seven centimeters of reach and eight of height, plus cleaner volume and much sharper accuracy standing and on the ground. Ortega's whole path to winning is surviving into deep water and finding a scramble submission, but Moicano's own submission awareness and improved takedown accuracy narrow that window. Both are on the older side, but Ortega's chin and durability against longer strikers has been the recurring question mark in his losses.
If Ortega's jiu-jitsu and vaunted late-fight submission chaining find one crack in scrambles, this flips fast in his favor regardless of the striking gap.
