It must be hard to have your mind right before Fight Night. Especially when days before you're continuously asked questions about your previous failures. Respect to all these warriors.
Yeah man the mental warfare has to be insane
U know nothing until u fight yourself for money 💰
@@trevormoore8110 I know nothing until I fight myself for money.....uhhh woe so profound
100% ae. All that talking then time to walk. Pressure.
@@trevormoore8110 you know nothing, just in general
Very honestly spoken. True warrior.
@Trippy SZN wow yeah this person is so dumb for pointing out something so obvious huh?
@Trippy SZN what reality are you living in?
@@droppa57kgx24 seriously.
@Trippy SZN switch on
@@droppa57kgx24 dude 99% fighters are warriors,they wouldn’t be there if they weren’t,what makes ortega different ? Taking massive brain damage in the last 2 fights without going down ? I’m not hating,i even like brian I’m just speaking facts
Brian speaks well, clearly has a brain in his head. Brian seems like a nice guy, he unfortunately has fought and lost to two of the best ever at FW.
It is a tough division.
Exactly, however 10 years ago Brian Ortega was given a choice continuing fighting for his life in the streets of LA or fight for gold and his community in the octagon
Never liked Volk cant wait to see him lose

Big fan of Brian, excited to see him back.
I’m Excited For This Fight Man
@@flaviogastelum2230 bro i don’t want any of them to lose
@@AAAHH Correct! I Want Them 2 Both Win 😅
@@AAAHH I know right
@@flaviogastelum2230 well they can’t
Brian has got to be the coolest fighter on the roster. He’s chill, calls out his own flaws, and has a humbleness/confidence factor. You can’t dislike this dude. He keeps it real.
It shows you don’t have to be a d-bag and/or put on a character every time the camera is on.
you're right. He is a L.A douchebag but i still like him
You obviously haven't seen a lot of his previous interviews etc...dude is way too into himself and the opposite of genuine, modest or humble. Was happy to see Volk beat the brakes off of this t-city low riding gangsta wanna be...Volk on the other hand is a straight up legit fighter with no gimmick, shtick or cringe...what you see is what you get with Volk...t-city doesn't have the same strength of character
He's the definition of a douche bag dude. Amazing fighters often are, but can I have some of your weed? Shit must be the bomb
@@michaelavery3812 you obviously don’t know people can grow and change he has a kid now take that into account next time
Brian’s stock to me just sky rocketed after listening to him. He’s thoughtful, real, respectful and driven. Much respect champ 🫡
One of the most honest interviews in the game. Much love to B. Embracing the martial in the art.
@Ag21
What do you think you’re doing? First, I mean no disrespect, here, honestly. Just curious. Are you randomly posting on random people’s comments for no reason other than in hopes of broadcasting John 3:16 and its exegesis for the “world” to see, or do you follow a system of sorts? Also, what is the end goal, in your view, or the purpose in replying to a comment in the most out of context way? Or is it your view that the Bible is omni-textual, which is to say, it is the only context which matters, thus can never truly be “out of place”? Why, though? Why here? Is it to start a conversation solely with me, or with those who would read or perhaps engage with my comment? Again, no snark intended; I’m genuinely interested in why the attempt to undertake the great commission in the comment section of a UA-cam clip.
To reiterate my initial question, that is, the very first sentence above: what are you doing, and why are you doing it? (hence the “think”) Are you doing it out of a type of duty? Out of Fear? Out of fatal ennui? Out of an ontological debt to your creator? Again, just curious.
@@joey.a.t. Does it really make any difference WHY brother?
It may seem out of place but given these uncertain and volatile times we are in I welcome more of this boldness from true warriors for The Most High.
Shalom to you brother
Damn I've always loved watching him fight but haven't seen many interviews with him. Nothing but class and professionalism. Wish there was more of this in the UFC.
@Trippy SZN most top fighters are classless because the have to “sell a fight”.
@@ALLTimeGamerTroll not at all, those are just the ones that catch your attention
This man might show some growth after that fight. Any man that is that honest and real with his failures and shortcomings in life, is only gonna improve.
Volk is only a tiny percentage of fighters to be able to be able escape that mounted guillotine choke.Anyone else and we're listening to the champion.I like his humbleness.Volk is just a tough,proven S.O.B.
Bald Volk is just crazy
I love this interview. Brian is so well spoken and respectful of his opponents. No shit talking. I'm seriously looking forward to this fight.
So glad to see more of Ortega in the octagon 🙌
What an honest assessment of himself the division etc; true warrior great spirit made me even more of a fan
It would be great if Ortega hits his prime and wins the belt in the next year or 2. He deserves it
This is why I appreciate the guys at this level. Just the way he is open about learning, getting better at every chance and dusting himself off after a lose is a great example
Ortega has the vibes of a chill Los Angeles gangster
Because he is 🤣
@@horizonfan Ortega is not a LA gangster calm down soy boy.
@@thedauntlessone.7335 lol why is he a soy boy? Keep hiding behind your Insecurity
@@thedauntlessone.7335 you’re so lame hahaha how embarrassing to be this guy
I love watching Brian fight. He's great on the mic too
That's sweet. Thanks beloved.
He seems very present and clear of mind. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for him!
3:40 Ortega getting emotional when telling us how close the choke was. He was already celebrating, imagine you are inches away from being a world champion but it never come.
Really gotta respect him
I think something just got stuck in his throat, not some emotional thing
Volk is just that much better, Brian's best shot couldn't hurt him.
I doubt that was him being emotional..
❤️
im a fan of ortega for life after his last fight. that was a fucking dog fight and he has earned my respect 100 percent
Yeah I don’t completely vibe with his personality, but to turn up in those last two rounds was wild
@@Ashleyy1458 I agree
He only earned my respect 84 percent but yes he's an awesome fighter
@@bigben42 i dont vibe with fake volkshitni
@@Ilias24. is it because he crushed max Holloway into dust?
Ortega is dope! His ground game is insane! Good luck champ and excellent interview as always. 👍🏾👍🏾🥋🌝
Big T-City fan after the Volk fight, hell of a competitor and so brutally honest, so good!
I’ve come to grips with the fact that Volk is unbeatable at featherweight. He’s short, but he has the physical characteristics of a 200 pound man.
He also has a ridiculous reach for his height, similar to what Conor had at FW. Volk is 72.5 at a height of 66 inches while conor is 74 at 68/69 inches. Volk's crisp striking is partly his insane speed but also his insane reach.
@@andyying1770 McGregor actually only has a 72inch reach. There’s video of him being measured for his UFC debut. I’m not sure why UFC made him 74.
Yep, he’s perfect in every facet of his game, no weaknesses. Only thing that’ll cause him to lose is age
@@andyying1770 He has longer arms than Max Holloway 🤣 his Ape index is huge
He isnt unbeatable. Come on.
Great prefight interview! Can’t wait for the fight 👊
This is one of the more engaging media day interviews I've seen in a while - good stuff.
people sleeping on him since Yair looked great, but this guy was seconds away from being the champion.
Nah Volk wasn't saved by the bell so he wasn't seconds to a win
*ua-cam.com/video/mCfYi7634rU/v-deo.html*
Finally it's here *YES*
@@joelink2754 bro he was never saved by any bell 😂 he got out of the choke volk beat the steriods out of him
Seconds away? Wtf are you talking about? There was legit about 1-2 mins left on the clock when Volks escaped kid LOL sounds like you only saw the highlights and not the actual fight.
Everyone saying he wasn’t saved by the bell, maybe he ment that if the volk had took two seconds longer he could have been asleep?
He's such a grounded person, great interview
I'm now a huge Ortega fan. Calm, respectful, honest and a badass.
I had to see the fight just to appreciate how much of a Warrior this man truly is he's a beast.
T-CITY a great fighter and the way he talked in this presser was honest and shows how he has grown in this sport. Can't wait to see this fight
Yair is more technical but Ortega is colder and more calculated
So much respect for this kid. What a stellar example of grit, respect….pure talent.
+peds
Great Interview!
Improved. Good chat.
Very humble and genuine answers from T City here
I re-watched his volk fight yesterday
his description of the fight is hilarious
Been fun watching his game (the striking mostly) evolve exponentially, especially with his new team. I can only imagine the skill of a Renner Gracie breakdown on the Volk fight attempted submissions, would love to hear it !
gay
@@jangobango2847 - "Bango" - enough said, eh !
I love his honesty. You can't move forward and evolve if you aren't honest with yourself above all else.
Hyped for this fight! Ortega is one of my favs
man I love Brian Ortega's personality I hope he becomes champ soon good luck on your fight
One of my absolute favorite fighters. Savage. Street smart. Brilliant fight IQ. Literally milliseconds from being champion. Excited to see him Saturday
Brilliant fight IQ?? He got destroyed againt Holloway and Volk due to terrible boxing defense and he’s one of the BJJ artists but has 0 takedowns. He’s a good fighter and a great opportunist. But fight IQ is not one of his strenghts.
@@alexanderlohner3104 hello youtube expert
@@giwrgoshmm9430 No expert, just a random dude on Twitter that would get demolished and then submitted by T - City!!!
UA-cam**
@@alexanderlohner3104 He has great striking the guys you mentioned are HOF standup geniuses
Volk got out of the guillotine, straight away starting ground and pounding, then gets caught in a triangle, gets out and keeps ground and pounding. Crazy
I have to admit, such an honest guy! Pure respect for Brian
Interesting point he made. It’s like how Conor said he focused on his wrestling and ground game because he said he had the striking in the bag. But then he came out less sharp vs khabib. Same with Ortega’s Bjj. Honestly fighters should spend time learning the new skills out of fight camp and then focus on the bread and butter in fight camp
So spend 10 weeks of prep on something they are good at already and ignore known weaknesses? Their opponent gonna crush them
Nah I disagree about the Conor comment I thought if anything he defended the takedowns well for the time he did .
To be honest Khabib had good strikes because Connor was always worried about the takedowns, not because Khabib had better striking
@@Giorgi-ho8rj I know your mom I believe but I'm gonna ko her in the sheets if you keep talkin wild
@@jordanglynn9190 he's talking about Conor's striking. Conor got relaxed with "I'm the better striker" and thought khabib only had a chance in wrestling. Then he got cracked with an overhead
I've always l t city it's awesome the way he talks how humble he is just who he is and how he is as a fighter hes been 1 of the best UFC fighters in the last couple of years win or lose we all love him he is just a great guy I cannot wait for the next fight and I really hope he becomes champion
He said “Mexican power bitch”😂😂
Ortega the goat.👌
Is Ortega really a Sureno?? I know he’s from LA, but Sureno is a gang term lol
This guy will be champion one day, I think he’s an amazing fighter which keeps improving
This is how it should to be everytime. Great Question and Great Character from Brian
Brian “Christopher Walken” Ortega will get it done this Saturday.
*ua-cam.com/video/mCfYi7634rU/v-deo.html*
Finally it's here *YES*
Even if he has to stab him in the face with a soldering iron.
Lol he does look a bit like Chris
I can't unsee it now. The King of New York is back.. 👑
Good spot haha
I think Ortega will sink in a deep submission on Yair in round 2 and 3
I hope so
Deep, hard and fast?
@@BobbyTMF okay buddy you're done
@Out the gate prisoner you still got that prison mentality eh. I bet you always drop the soap and say oooopsss!!
@@nolantanaka565 i don’t even go to the showers that’s for betas
Next Champion!
He got this man Rooting for him
Ortega is legit one of my favorites. This dude has heart and toughness in straights and even in defeats he shows out. Takes damage like a real boss. Chin of cast iron. I really respect the stuff Ortega is made of...
Everytime i listen to him speak and watch his fights i tend to like him a little more. He's a straight up dude.😎👌
true warrior ortega, respect
7:10 the scary thing about being champ is knowing you are the reason these guys get up to train... It's for you.... Volk was so good it inspired this man to become something even greater
I think Volkanovski is one of the best to keep that positive mindset. The real positive one and not just the one everybody mentions during fight week.
I think it helps him with the elevation of self and good performances. :)
He's a legend and he finally got Dana attention
Very well spoken.
Love you T-City... wishing you the best. Go get it brother... it's yours if you want it bad enough and I know you do!
I wonder if when he's talking about the 5 and the newcomers who aren't welcomed if he is talking about Emmett, especially after his win in the Kattar bout.
Arnold allen and josh emmett are in the mix too.....maybe a fight out of contention depending on a couple of outcomes. I want to see some new matchups in the near future, especially since zabit retired.
I'm pullin for Brian but this ain't gonna be an easy fight.
Yair is a problem.
He's gotten a lot better.
One of my favorite fighters
I would love if Rener did the press with him. 🤣 Rener is the man!
ortega has the long hair again
Brian is an amazing fighter and person. He so humble and his future is world champion!
@watchmejumpstart he also goes multiple months without seeing his kids even though they live like 40 minutes away from him.
@@chocolatitomaravilla3899 and? Dudes busy working lol
@@Johngottisentme busy working doing what
T-City is one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC
2:52 a lot of us rewatched the tape and thought how the hell did he get out of that move as well. The general consensus around the world was how the hell did Volk just do that???
Absolute class ❤️
Love this kid ❤️ true warrior
Brian Ortega is a real one ! 🙇♂️
Welcome back T-City. I expect fireworks but Brian ain’t losing this one.
Man charles oliveria vs brian ortega would be fuckin amazing
It would be one sided tho. Charles is too much of a beast
If It’s a grappling match yes
@@ramiroperez523 he is but so is ortega. Lets not forget his only 2 losses are to max and volk. He is a savage very hard to finish tough as shit.
“Watch me eat a torta and go ‘mess’ someone up!” 😂😂
💀💀
Such a chill guy
A lot of love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
This guy is awesome.
Man. Such an honest humble guy! Savage in the cage. Love this guy!
Ortega a super cool kid .. love over here my boy
Love this guy
This will be a sick fight
Go get ‘em T-City! Love this guy’s mindset.
The upcoming fight this weekend gonna be a real banger 💥
humble guy! seems real nice
Brian is a fucking weapon. Exited to see him
Back and how he handles this one
love hearing Ortega's midget here, extreme focus, very little ego, hardened mentality for sure. Nice!!!
I think yair is going to have an edge on the feet and if he can keep it there it’s his fight, but if Brian can get a hold of one limb or god forbid the neck I don’t know if yair would be able to do what volk did. So fucking excited to see these 2 absolute warriors do what they do best! Bring on the blood!
This is a sick Matchup 🔥🔥
BO talks so nice. This was great press
Wish you luck Brian! U one of the baddest Brian's I know and I know a lot!
I love the honesty about food he knows food means nothing
Brian is always so chill. I got nothing but respect for him🍻
Gotta love him
Would love to see T-city be champion one day 💯
TC a killer man 🤙🏾
Not a single stock answer or cliché in any of his answers. Refreshing.
That first interviewer had fire questions I like that cuz most of the time I hear these reporters ask bland boring questions that I know the answers to about these fighters just from watching Hella UA-cam reporters do your research
Best fight in history! Volk and Ortega. We need a 2nd and 3rd fight bad!!! Imagine the ppvs
Wow what personal growth .
Braun Ortega and Volk had a classic match 👏👏👏
This fight is gonna be good
