Two top 10 featherweights figure to square off in one of the most intriguing fights at UFC Fight Night 96.

Ninth-ranked Brian Ortega of Lomita pits his unbeaten record against No. 10 Hacran Dias on Oct. 1 at Moda Center in Portland.

Ortega, a 25-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and Carson native, is coming off a third-round TKO of veteran Clay Guida at UFC 199 at The Forum in June.

The Carson native and former RFA champion (11-0, 1 NC) is 3-0 in the UFC with one victory overturned after testing positive for a steroid.

Dias (23-4-1) is 3-3 in the UFC. All six fights have gone the distance. He’s coming off a unanimous-decision loss to Cub Swanson in April. Before that, the 32-year-old Brazilian and former Shooto South America champion earned a split decision over Levan Makashvili in June 2015 and a unanimous decision over Darren Elkins in December 2014.

One of the featured bouts on the Portland card, which will be televised by Fox Sports 1, is between No. 9 flyweight Louis Smolka and No. 15 Sergio Pettis.
