He grew his hair back for the interview , what a pro 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahahahah wicked!
This comment sure looks familiar 😂
You win bro, I'm dead lmfao
Lmao shoot me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn that hair grew back fast
CGI is real!!
Mexican supplements!
He’s got a superpower
Commitment and dedication baby!! 😂😂😂
LOL!
I feel like this dude grew so much wiser in recent years. Again, his sincerity is something to admire.
Facts bro
His honesty is incredible. He’s introspective. Man, I think these other fighters gotta watch out.
I don't know why all the hate, I love this guy. His a real one.
Yeah... "Real one" who assaults people😂
Brian ortega had a choice... he chose to wait until Korean Zombie left to take a piss...
@THERE IS NO SANCTUARY and it will never not be funny lol
@THERE IS NO SANCTUARY legit lol comment
Bro u need to stop
It was funny the first 783 times. Try come up with something on your own now.
@@JT-eh3vj why?
Even if Ortega loses that's only two losses against a top contender and champion. Not bad at all. But if he wins then that would be pretty damn impressive.
@@prodbysh4co That did not age well.
@@prodbysh4co
Somebody was wrong
@@prodbysh4co lol you were very wrong
50-45 baby
@@flyingpowerlogitech And very impressive it was! Let's gooo
Ortega a Real one, “Kill or Be Killed” - Nate Diaz
I appreciated that Ortega admitted that he gets nervous before fights. Real ass dude.
Everyone does get the nerves before fights
Wait so this interview is almost a year old? The interviewer said the fight was taking place in Korea, so this was before fight night 165.
Good catch. I don’t know why they waited 10 months to post this but hey I don’t mind
@djdonniewoo my bad if I made it unclear. I know the first fight was canceled. It just seemed a little sneaky by the ufc to try and act like this was a new interview
Yep. 17:28 he says it's been a year since fighting Max in December and he's about to fight a year later in December. But as of today it's been 2 years since he's fought Max or fought at all. And his fight tonight is in November. So it's definitely about a year old interview
Ortega got exposed against Max but this fight against the Zombie will tell us how far he can really go.
He can go back to being in the bottom half of the top 10.
@@mattzetts8777 And being taught how to block hooks 😂
@@foxhoundxgaming8229 lol can’t wait for him to slap up tkz
No such a thing as getting 'exposed' when u lose to holloway
Don’t most people get exposed against Holloway? Even Volkanovski in their second fight got exposed a bit
Brian Ortega made a choice to get tagged in the dome 300+ times
It’s not new he gets hit a lot not just by max but by other people as well he’s naturally a slow starter
Unstoppable No2 slow starter? He got pounced on till the doctor stopped in round 4
His new corner won’t let that happen again! Not this bad, it was his corner’s bad.
His hands were broken, he didnt want to block and get hit on the hands
@@thejawaiian9897 Than maybe he isn't a gladiator at all.😏
He got them dead shark eyes lol. Dude's a killer
The MEXICAN Brad Pitt
The mexican lord voldemort currently
I heard last night hes every female ufc fans favourite fighter

Ortega must be doing good numbers for the UFC. They kept him in rankings for 2 years straight and putting out every bit of content with him separately on the official channel. The marketing team really likes him
This interview officially turned me into a fan. Can't wait!
@Micky Banks that made me even more of a fan
@Micky Banks that little boy deserved the slap 👋🏼
He’s a fking bully bum fullstop. Zombie gonna smash him
@Micky Banks I'm a fan now of ortega, I like how he slapped that k pop singer. That k pop singer annoys me a lot. He is terrible singer and a prick. I'm happy Ortega slapped him.
@Pika Pika You are so cute when you defend KZ honor, he would for sure be proud of you boy
The whole interview just sounds like he needed to take charge of his fight camps but never did cause he let those guys dictate his career
Best interviewer ever. Made Brian seem normal for once
Just saw his fight with the zombie and jumped to this interview Cant wait for Ortega vs volkov , Brian deserves the title.
Yep, he sure does
Brian “I grew up in the hood” Ortega
Hahaahahha foreal the only thing he promotes
lmao facts atleast he ain’t fucking lying tho
Ita different when that's all your friends and family vs making a joke under the youtube comments lmaoo. That's all he knows let him be. He doesn't promote it
@@heckalydalii200 well in a way he has to because at first glance you’d think he’s just some white pretty boy skater kid who probably grew up privileged. I didn’t even know he’s Latino even with the last name because of his hair and blue eyes. I don’t think anything is wrong with it him not forgetting where he’s from and letting people know what he’s overcome.
He’s really is tho his rep speaks for itself in L.A HxA
2:25 is his dad chael sonnen?
lol underrated
Cuzzo
Brian “Bathroom Backhand” Ortega
D "Dildo" Watkins
@@pedrolomeli8735 lmao
Sorry bro, it was just right there. 😄
@Marten Dekker no he wasnt you wanker, he was literally translating Korean zombie....
@Marten Dekker Dude stop playing, none of the trashtalks were from Jay.
The Dude is spittin facts 💪🏻👊🏻 i like that
I wish I was as mellow as this guy. Genuine, mellow, sincere, articulate, proud yet humble.
He tries to talk a little extra cool. But overall not a bad dude. Gets too much hate.
dude slapped the messenger. not respectable
@Robert Hernandez you got slapped by Ortega? Crazy
@@jeromeofmarmite8914 hahahaha
I agree, I saw that too, it's like he tries a little too hard to sell the cool/bad bad guy facade
@Robert Hernandez A K-Pop rapper isn't a bitch. Brian, a trained fighter who slapped a K-Pop rapper is a bitch.
T CITY BABY 🌃
Sometimes the best response is no response
“I see him asking for water. Yup. I’m about to ask for mine” lol! Too real!
This format for interviews with fighters is so good, great way to see inside their heads. Dope content.
Most mma journalists just let them tell their stories, verry underrated.
Brian Ortega looks like a Calvin Klein model during the caveman era.
This interviewer seems off....
He’s on ketamine
Been 30 mins and it already has 25 dislikes and the videos 43 mins long, just goes to show how many people just hate to hate
I love this, whenever you don’t know who a fighter is personality wise you don’t ever never to assume who they are. This interview made me have a different perspective of Brian. Him and KZ will be a crazy one if I’m being honest
T-City already beat KZ
Real to the core
7:02 Some Great Deep Talk
AMAZING!
TCity Mate
Toxic fake fans are everywhere in MMA community these days SMH. As soon as Ortega lost to Max you guys said "Ortega sucks", "Ortega is not a real fighter", "Ortega is overrated" then as soon as he win over KZ now you guys are saying "KZ is overrated", "KZ lost ahahaha", "where the people that said Ortega will lose?" then you guys go turn around and say "Ortega will get beat by Volkonovski or Max". Just don't watch if you are just here to post and talk sh*t
Bro from what I've seen mma fans ( some) are sheep they see others hate on a fighter the follow and they are disloyal they support the fight but as soon as they do something bad once or the lose a fight they jump ship and hate on that fighter and sometimes I'm guilty of this too it sucks and it's stupid but hey it is what it is
Magnificent interview, Salute. Loved the questions and the Honest authentic answers and not some PR bull Show. Refreshing!
i bet you go nuts about a microbrew and clam juice
I don't know why the UFC don't do more in depth interviews like this with more fighters? They usually only give interviews like this to McGregor. I never knew anything about Ortega before but I'll be looking out for him now
These interviews are 🔥🔥🔥
Who’s the interviewer ? This was an amazing interview this guy should do more, great questions !
Theres a lot of closet Kpop ufc fans and it shows
I am not a fan but what if I am? So what you chump? I would slap that long name into a single syllable lol
@@potbelly5928 I bet you would. You have snapchat? Send me your location and we will see if you slap my name into a single syllable
@@potbelly5928 Words have consequences
Lol i dont snap and I dont want to chat
Words have consequences? Then work for it
Jesus This man is almost built to perfection.
He sure is
Hes definately got the mindset of somebody who want to be the best.great interview
👍Great Interview.👍
Brian Ortega had a choice, he chose to shave his head to make weight
Been there lol
A bunch of haters in the comments.... ya'll gonna be mad asf for the next decade while Brian Ortega is dominating in the UFC
last fight was loss to holloway december 8, 2018. fight for belt and lose you better stay busy and keep fighting. alot of people have forgotten about you
Love his badass look without hair
Downstairs too?
Never intensely realized that fighters may drink water for nerves which makes complete sense. Very relatable.
I never knew to much about Brian but he's definitely the REAL DEAL!!! BTW My dad would get mad at me when I fought but it's a lil different in The Streets of Bakersfield
I love seeing all these casuals get proven wrong lmao Ortega beat that ass!
Brother a casual is somebody who doesnt understand sport or doesnt even pay attention to sport but make dumb comments like "Izzy runs away from fights" or "someone saying two fighters of different weightclasses should fight without knowing what fighter weightclass is in". In a fight anything can happen, if Korean Zombie beat Ortega you gonna say everybody who thought Ortega gonna win a casual and if Ortega beat him you gonna say everybody who thought KZ win is casual without knowing what casual mean in sport. Do you know what that makes you? Yes, a casual. There are fighters who predicted KZ could win, so since they are fighters and you are not you gonna call them casual? Ok, casual.
@@anse1774 you schooled him so bad he didnt even reply. ironically you made Joseph look like a casual. these days 'casual' is flung around like the word 'hipster'. people forget it actually has a meaning and its not just a lite insult
Mr. Ortega is all gentleman his heart is there great guy inside full of respect other fighters should be respectable like Brian down to earth well rounded young man.
Very well spoken. A very dangerous man is one that knows himself
mad respect for his honesty
Very interesting, happy for him.....he is maturing, bettering his craft , God Luck bro
You know he a real one when he calls Max Holloway "the other guy". @20:47
Still can’t get over how Holloway handled him. Hopefully he’s learned and grown.
😅😅He plays with his fingers very much😅😅His girlfriend must be very happy😅😅 Ortega is very professional, grew his hair back for the interview😆😆😆💥
Great interview
Brian Ortega a classy, respectful fighter, class act. 👏
Fight in December, in Korean. When was this interview done? I like Brian's insights.
2019
Didnt this interviewer hide under the desk while bisping stood up and faced the angry crowd.
It's not that i think fighters are dumb but I'm always surprised how smart they are!
He might've lost "that fight" with lil man but ultimately won look at him now, he won in life!
He grew his hair back for the interview , what a pro
Good honest sharing from Brian.
I don’t know much about Brian and it’s the first time I’ve heard him speak but the dude seems like a good guy you can tell the Holloway loss has had a big affect on him but let’s hope he puts it behind him and a good win over KZ will light his fire good luck bro wish you all the best for your future
same😊
Its complicated but you’re right that more people should wish him well
FallenGrey definitely mate he’s just a man trying to make the most of life and is career so I wish him well
good dudes don't bitchslap civilians when other fighters are on pee breaks
Dave Cheng ain’t got a clue what your comment means pal
If he beats volkov and then goes on to win against max in the second fight and then the trilogy boy o boy it's a movie
This man looked so sensational
Been waiting for this thanks
So ready! Training with Dillashaws camp, Cub Swanson, Juan Archuleta (Bellators new champ) his new striking coaches Brian's standup will look like a new fighter and the help of Mike Saffaie strength and conditioning and Andy Galpin with the diet he will be a new athlete! All 6 of Zombie KO's came in the first round none in rounds 2-5. Zombie is 6 wins 5 loss in any fight that goes 2 rounds or more. Brian the only fighter with 4 consecutive 3rd round finishes..similar to the Brandao fight avoid the early explosive power in the first and the fight falls more and more into Brians favor. Brian TCity Ortega all day
Idk, I've seen a couple videos of him hitting pads it looks like he still makes a lot of mistakes like pulling/telegraphing his punches hopefully they picked up on those mistakes and corrected them. Gonna be a great fight regardless
He hopped on that epo with tj and archuleta
@@noyou3602 Think he fixed the holes in his game?
@@madliquidswordz181 that EPO did him good
@@gabriellandrum87 definitely did, he looked sharp out there
what an amazing and authentic young warrior. Ia fa'a malosi Brian
Love Ortega but do wish Ariel could have done this Interview. He always seems to take an interview from 'mediocre' to 'great' and Ortega deserves that.
This is why I believe he takes this division "New Champ" . I believe in his talent since day one, but since his evolution "Zombie fight" he's the Apex Predator now. Foot work looked amazing!
Wut?
Excellent interview
He will always be known as the guy who slapped translator
Sick interview. I really like Ortega and how he presented himself here, he said a lot of great stuff. Wish they wouldn’t go so hard on this ‘street hood past’ though, it’s kind of weird. It’s gonna be an interesting fight, let’s see how he evolved since the Max fight, I think he gets the W.
It's the internet. All tough keyboard warriors...
By his quality level, i think he will be on ufc top 10 for the next 5 years...
Already is in Top 10
I mean, staying over the years and improving mental and technical skills as while start loosing the physical ones, like everyone does slowly between 28 and 32 years old, and faster after 33 years old, all them in average.
He’s going to be champ
@@DeepValueOptions he has the skills... Now he knows what he didnt against Max Holloway... Its like Gaeje or before saint pierre, loosing sometimes is what need to happen to grow to be much better...
@@ricardoxavier827 exactly brother
''sleep on win and u will wake up on a loss''C.McGregor
Brian is my favorite fighter because he came from nowhere to make it somewheres and doesn't matter if he ever becomes champ he's a great guy and I hope people respect him even if they don't like him but now the interview was took before his hair was cut that I'm 100% sure of but I'm 100% sure also that Brian will go back his hair before the next match been watching and learning from videos him and the Gracie academy have since he was 15 so I can tell you then he had very very short hair much like he did at the last match and of course he grew into the beautiful Tarzan man we all got used to I think it's nice seeing his haircut shorter again but I truly expected to get longer again people as for how long we last the average fighter last around 40 years of age so Brian's got about 10 years left based on that but then again maybe he'll define logic and be fighting like Sylvia did way past his early forties
I say this from experience I roll with my 10-year-old nephew and me 44 years of age he has more strength than me but we have fun when we get to do that occasionally I love teaching my nephew some of the things I learned from the greatest academy videos from renter and Brian I learned this basic fact age has nothing to do about a sport it is about the fact that you're still having fun Brian's not just saying that he lives that any man that can jump on the cow and try to choke hold it and try to bear back ride it it's fine with me as a woman Tu as a muy guapo in caliente ombre mi fav luchador en ufc besame2 tu mi amor go get that belt TCity tu hombre b.o.
Great interview.
Brendan Fitzgerald now thats how to do an Interview nice work. And Brian Ortega is a cool cat
I fucking love this guy man. Inspirational af
28:00 that is the same way lots of fighters have the same feeling (they want to show that they are better)
Inspiring
10 months ago Brian Ortega did this interview
Brian "Achilles" Ortega, the irony if Zombie heel hooks him
Never heard him speak on this level. He seems pretty cool. How does he have hair again🤔
Good luck Ortega
God bless you
This guy is a true west coast gangster , would love to see him and Nate Diaz in same weight clasz
Bryan Maximus Ortega the Gladiator of modern time
Still don't understand how a lot of the people hate him. He is such a nice and smart guy.
A wanna be gangsta with shit stand up who assaults irrelevant people.
damn hella people hating on Ortega in the comments 😂
wrote something about one of my most fav ufc fighter Ortega and deleted it
cz people will think I've become a fan of him after this video
Ortega is a classy fighter. He doesn't talk crap, he just fights.
Love this dude
brian is as real a man as one can get.
Ortega is as REAL as they come. Class Act
Wow, Brian Ortega just found the ultimate hack for baldness. 😂😂😂
5:52 you see!!! Henry Cejudo really did give Brian Ortega a choice 10 years ago!!!
