Brian nailed it. what he said about not being able to do much with punches going at your face, and relying on the helio gracie fundamentals, is why I’m switching from a regular bjj gym to a gracie CTC. No rolling at first but they teach you jiu jitsu from the ground up, and include the concept of punches. All the other gyms I went to were 100% sport and focused on 50/50, dlr, berimbolo, etc

Ryron is the snake that destroyed T citys shoulder while helping him during training camp for his last fight he pulled out of. Had to take a year off all because Ryron got tapped during light JiuJitsu rolling. He started throwing punches to the face from mount and put brian in a kimura and tore his labrum. They dont train together anymore.

Ortega is right. Striking sets up takedowns & submissions. Striking also changes the dynamics of jiu jitsu compared to jiu jitsu used in a sport competition.

Starting to like Brian more and more. You can see him mature each fight he takes..

Absolutely insane how easy Holloway beat him. It goes to show that jiu jitsu isn't the only tool needed to win fights. Ortega is definitely a well tuned fighter, but when you're fighting someone who's striking is on an elite level, you need to know how to defend and counter, or avoid and take down. Hopefully this dude will come back strong.

Literally best questions, the RIGHT questions. Haven’t seen a well done interview like this.

This guy plays his cards right and this fight is going to be epic. Rener, Ron and the whole Gracie Jiu-jitsu taught this guy well. He just might be the greatest pupil he's ever taught very coachable and disciplined. I can't wait to see this fight.

This guy! Speaks all the right things fights even better. LOVE

He calls his shots, well composed

Love this kid! Ortega has such a joy about him, his laugh is real, he is just so positive. I hope he becomes the champ some day!

Ortega's story is very inspiring and his GJJ is so slick and tight, it's a clinic in fundamentals and efficiency.

I see why he wins so much, for a young fellow he is pretty well educated on this stuff. I suppose it is most likely that he just takes coaching and lessons well but he could figure it out on his own as well tho I think it's bit of both

This guy will definitely be a future champ if his striking gets to the aldo, Holloway, Edgar, level or close to it. Absolutely no one can fuck with this guy's ju jitz...super dangerous on the ground

Because they spend almost every hour of the day training & practising to make themselves a more well rounded fighter. Watching fights is more for the coaches so they can figure out how to help their fighter achieve victory 💯

sounds like T City would agree with Eddie Bravo's "Combat Jiu Jitsu" style tournaments. CJJ is the missing link in MMA Jiu Jitsu!

Sup with the camera angles 😂

Absolutely correct. T-City knows: go back to Helio's base philosophy when you are in the cage. That is what made the Gracies in MMA and what will take Brian to the top. It's awesome watching him grow in the sport!

omg ryan hall. would the matchmakers do it?

I really like t city even though I am butt hurt about him beating Renato still...

T-City is definitely in the process of becoming a UFC superstar. Considering all he went through growing up, no one deserves it more than him. But here's the catch - he's prob'ly unaware of all the love & support that's coming his way from Eastern Europe and the Balkans. So... let's dance, buddy! Anytime, anywhere.

Certified Weapon Lobov because I'm actually capable of looking at fighters and making objective comparisons between them to clearly see that they have a rather large edge over him. Holloway - much better striker than Ortega and won't be KO'd. Only way Brian wins is submission on the ground but Holloway has great takedown defence and Ortega hasn't got amazing wrestling. Result Holloway wins. Aldo- amazing takedown defence so Ortega can't grapple and even if he did Aldo's BJJ is exceptional too. On the feet Aldo murders him. Only way Ortega wins is a rather lucky KO. Result Aldo wins. Frankie Edgar- much better striking and grappling than Ortega and won't be submitted or KO'd. Toughest match up for Ortega. Result Frankie wins. Lamas- good wrestler to stop Ortega's attempts at grappling and he's never been submitted with his great BJJ. Only way Ortega could potentially win is same as with Aldo and a KO but Ricardo has solid striking better than Ortega's. Result Lamas wins. It doesn't take a genius to see Ortega would be a massive underdog vs any of them. I'm an Ortega fan and glad to see him back but realistically he needs to improve a hell of a lot mainly striking to have any chance vs any of them.

They should allow rearward headbutts to nullify taking the back.

Anybody else stumble on this because they read it as "it takes two snitches" so you thought it was ortega talking about someone else getting off of suspension by snitching or some shit idk but this was in my recommended like it's relevant to recent news lol.

Ortega is a cool dude. He's gonna be a champ whether it's really soon or down the road.

The Cameron man's name is Richard ballbag he's been hanging around for a while

Ever ince his first fight at the UFC I knew this guy was going to go a long way. He will be champ some day. May be Cub is a bit too soon for him. I don't know, but it will be great to watch; Be should all count our lucky stars for the UFC, ... Bellator,... fights. We are spoiled. Dana, pay them more so they can commit full time, get the best food, training,.... so that hwe get the best fights. If you double their salaries, UFC won't feel it a single bit. It's ike pocket change.

Ortega looks like Joe&Mac from the nes

I wish I was like this camera man, and could get immediate and harsh feedback whenever I did a terrible job.

Am I the only one who’s kind of scared by the accuracy of Ortega’s prediction about the woodley Maia fight and one dimensional jiu jitsu specialists in general? Not that Maia would classify as such, but woodley’s wrestling definitely allowed him to negate Maia’s takedown attempts.

Ortega is a huge talent. He knows what he is talking abt 2:58. When he speaks u listen. Ppl who claimed that undefeated Brasilian was winning the fight bur went for a takedown havent got a clue. As stated by Brian: 3:40 i just strike and they take me down, welcome to my world.

Basically: Wrestle Blend wrestling and BJJ for better takedowns Do Muay Thai Blend clinching and take downs Do a Japanese or Korean striking art along with boxing Strengthen your Muay Thai kicks and punches

Some Black Dude recently i was thinking about a lot how is possible to use limited time on the most effective way(especially if uve got no longtime background in karate/wrestling/bjj/kickbox etc). And i mostly agree with u, but i think wrestling for takedowns, clinch and maintaining top control on the ground.what will help with ground and pound.on jiujitsu, I would concentrete on finishing fights or from this top position on ground, or most importantly off ur back. Muay thai necessary not really because the more weapons elbows and knees give, but for clinching too. A welltrained low kick and high kick really needed, but mostly kicks are just effective if theyre perfect.. I mean nobodys gonna win with a 720kick or spinning sidekick without training karate or tkd for like a decade. Low kick-push kick to keep distance, high kick to mix it up. So finally i think some nogi submission wrestling, jiujitsu, muay thai combination is solid. In free time boxing, judo fundamentals

thats because it was over 4 years ago, and he publicly admitted it and apologized and took his suspension, nd he took them because he took the fight as a replacement 3 weeks before the fight and was trying to lose weight. Anybody who saw the fight knows he did not need to cheat for that win. but clowns like you dont have enough brains to understand that athletes take steroids to heal from injuries or to cut weight faster. Everybody is not perfect like you. what a kook you are.

Max Holloway: “try 3 switches”

He’s right about the Jiu jutsu base trying to go purely for takedowns that’s why Meia lost against Woodley

when someone says they didn't see the fight, stop asking them questions about what happened in the fight.

I'm not too familiar with Brian Ortega but he seems like a nice guy, didn't even watch the Gracie match but still made sure he gave a solid interview as to not make the interviewers job harder what a nice guy none of this diddy bread bullshit

Please fix the camera work. Very unsteady and not kept cutting luke and half of Brian's face.

Crazy how he predicted his own loss to Holloway.

What is the origin of the nickname 'T-city' ?

I like Ortega, he is a BJJ wizard. But I think Edgar is a very hard match up for him. When have you seen Edgar outwrestled or even close to be submitted? I don't even remember ever seeing Frankie inside a submission. His grappling in seriously underrated. Ortega might be in for a crude awakening just like Yair.

Kron Gracie should learn from Ortega's style.

He's similar to khabib in that everyone is so afraid of his no jiu jitsu they don't fully commit to there strikes in fear of submission. Only big difference is that I can is that Brian will fight a whole fight without taking it to the ground if he doesn't believe he can

Id like to see who hes afraid of to be with on the ground tho. As much as i saw hes more like trying to stand up, because he knows if he can beat someone on feet, thats bigger achievement for him and thats what he needs to work on. .i mean, Even if he goes for takedown, if just for a second he feels uncomfortable, he doesnt care about his top position, pulls guard. And not like hes afraid, so he tries to escape. Hes fckn genius off his back.doing a lot of damage, being dangerous every second threatening a sub and so far he does it without anybody really hurt him.. Same sort of guard what kron gracie got. Amazing

Totally I would love to see him.uncomfortable on the ground. Although I don't see anyone at his because has combination of higher strength than all of the featherweight and secondly his reflexes and technique. I see him catching Frankie in a guillotine but Tbh if the opportunity doesn't appear I don't see him going for the take down even if he's losing.
