People don't get this video lol. They are not promoting Ortega as a thug. They are trying to show people that someone like Ortega can make it through MMA.
Plenty of people have "made it out the hood" and a lot of them spin tales to fit the image more. Wouldnt doubt hes from the hood but hes a good storyteller if you dont know any better.
People are giving Brian crap for talking about his life growing up in a rough neighborhood, but when studio gangster rappers lie about a life they never lived over beats, it's praised and admired. 🙄
Martin Velez is he acting hard tho? i see a soft spoken, humble dude who's just laughing at the bullshit he's been through, who's also a public figure who's required to do press. 🤔
I use to see him at the skatepark , at that time I would've never predicted him fighting in the UFC, let alone for the belt. I hope he becomes the champ!
Really? Me and brian first met at knife fights in the underground hood fighting scene, he stabbed 3 dudes in a row so i bought him a beer. Somehow he liked me so we went in his backyard to smoke some crack and roll a little bit. After i heelhooked him he got pissed and stabbed me in my arm with a broken crack pipe, so i took a baseballbat and knocked him out with it. last week i saw him again at wallmart but fortunately for me he didnt recognised me anymore!
@@backbone93 do you know that Brian Ortega lives on Earth ? And anybody on Earth could've seen him and that person happens to watch his videos on youtube right ?
This was great. Being from a rough area myself growing up, I can relate to some of the stuff he did/saw... How can u NOT be a fan of this man? Very humble and caring for his family/friends and people in general. Not to mention his warrior spirt. The dude is a terminator. Nothing but greatness for him.
I didnt realize so many people have no idea of what goes on in these environments...maybe because he has conducted himself professionally they think it cant be...if you think this is a stretch your lucky your life has been good enough to let u think that way
The first time I saw a grown man defecate on the street next to a mail box , right on fillmore in San Francisco . That was 20 years ago. Thing have gotten a lot worse since
Those are the projects in San Pedro off Beacon St...I grew up in the nice part of Pedro...that was a scary area when I was young. You didn't go down there unless you wanted trouble. It looks much nicer now but it was a scary place.
this is great i loved this interview, perfectly titled too. i wish more fighters would come out with their amateur records like he did, i didnt know he was 11-0 as an ammy with 11 finishes thats dope
21:49 Thats wild. Thats it, the truth behind his drive and determination. He’s just a guy who wants his fathers love and approval at the end of the day. Inspiring stuff. T-city 🇺🇸 🇲🇽
i dont think he portrays himself as a ganster..he seem like a genuinely nice guy with a clear mind on who he really is...much respect..💯🤙🤙but this #blessederafosho
Regardless where you grew up kids, Apply yourself into something you love and go far in life. He's not a thug he's a success story that made it out of a harsh environment. Dont be scared homie !

R P Ortega is a real one. My cuzzo ran with him back in the day. Ortega actually downplaying himself compared to how he could actually share the truth. If you don’t know, don’t talk
Can u enlighten the rest of us? Bc I think everyone got it. The sole and only purpose of this video was to hype the fight. Now everyone could have got something from it personally. However the reason this vid was made was to promote a fight.
Ortega ain't a gangster, he's a regular dude that grew up in the streets and from the hood. Just like anyone from the rough area of any city. Ortega, you have a fan for life outta me just because off how you grew up. I feel ya homie.
Wow. Fighting in the UFC is relatively safe to him after his background. He didn’t seem scared of Max’s growling at the presser either. If he loses it ain’t gonna be due to nerves. If it goes to the ground it could be over quick. Max has a skinny neck.
Brian is a cool dude, been watching him since before ufc. One of his homies was my next door neighbor, talked to him many times. Nice guy for sure. And new
I love how Ortega acts like he grew up in some war torn country or grew up in extreme poverty as a gangster in the worst parts of LA. I know exactly where he grew up, it’s definitely far from the worst.
You just got your self a fan here CARNAL I love how you keep it ORIGINAL ,AND HUMBLE AND RESPECTED & THAT YOU DONT FORGOT WHERE YOU COMING FROM THAT YOU DONT FORGET YOUR BARRIO AND YOUR GENTE LIKE THE DIAZ BROTHERS Y ARRIVA MEXICO Y CALIFORNIA and all 🇺🇸 PPL IM MEXICANO AND ILOVE THIS COUNTRY BUT ALSO I LOVE MY MEXICO AND FOUND OUT THAT YOU SPEACK ESPAÑOL AND SEEN YOUR FIGHTS AND THAT ALL THE TIME YOURE ALWAYS COME OUT WITH BOTH 🇲🇽 AND 🇺🇸 FLAGS AND YOUR PROUD OF BOTH COUNTRIES I FEEL PROUD TOO THAT YOURE REPRESENTING THANK YOU ... GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND TEAM CARNAL AND MUCH RESPECT. GRACIAS
Back then there was not a lot of promotion, probably that's why they never promote the Diaz brothers and because probably because of their social anxiety
He has not seen the worst of worst. This is not Ghana or Liberia or Somalia. No American can say they seen the worst of worst. They should be lucky to have all the luctaures they have.
I am from Congo. I am happy to live in America. The best country in the world. In Congo we have no option to escape the constant war, poverty and over all brutal violence. We have no way to escape. We don't have clean water, medical treatments, schools, food etc. Social Services etc. Kids are forced to grow up very fast or else risk death. There's no where in America that anyone can compare to Congo, Liberia or Somalia. The kids in America who live in the Ghetto are spoiled kids, acting up. They have plenty of options yet they want to shoot people for fun. So, people, please be thankful to live in a country where anyone can have the opportunity to change the direction of their lives. The ghettos in America are heaven in many parts of Africa.
Warrior-of-Love 43 people expect some stereotypical cholo or even Nate Diaz character to tell these stories but because he’s kind of a cool humble sounding quiet surfer dude that doesn’t talk shit, their brains can’t compute but in reality there’s thousands growing up around that culture that don’t fit the stereotype and that grow out of that lifestyle.
This is humble looking dude probably hasn't told anyone the stuff he said in this video probably feels good finally getting to be heard these are stories that have to be heard he is not worried of image much respect

@@shawnwimberly9294 Dog round 3 was one of the greatest title rounds I’ve ever seen, top 5 easily. Round of the year for sure, Volk didn’t earn my respect… he took it 😂😂
I can't wait for this fight! I honestly won't be surprised with whoever wins. I give Max the slight advantage if he is 100%. As long as Max stays on the outside, moves in and out quickly and avoids the clinch then Max should take it by decision. If Ortega can land that vicious uppercut and tie Max up in the clinch then I think Ortega will find his neck or arm. Both are absolute killers, there hasn't been such an even title fight like this in a while in my opinion. I'd give a limb to be in Canada this weekend.
won't be a title fight, because max will not make weight, watch. the only way he was making 145 is by water loading with distilled water before cutting, which is dangerous as fuck and what made him sick last time. this will be a catchweight (and thus non-title) fight if ortega takes it, and holloway will have 5-10 pounds on ortega, so he will probably take the decision. otherwise, if somehow he does make weight, he will be nowhere near 100%.
“I was running the track….and I don’t know why but even though he’s always been quite he’s like my motivation. And I’m running the track and it’s like 11:30 at night there’s no one there it’s all empty and I’m running… I may sound like a weirdo, But I keep seeing him standing there in the bleacher looking at me and every lap I do it it’s the same head nod he’s always did and I was on my 4th mile and I felt like quitting and I look up and I just see him there and I’m like no you can’t fail your dad, like you can’t fail him.” - Brian T City
The UFC loves Brett Okamoto, he always breaks news and now gets all these exclusives, looks like getting on Dana's bad side didin't work out very well for Ariel, it wasn't too long ago that I remember Ariel getting exclusives with Jones and all these other guys
You guys got to remember it’s 2018 shits way different he’s speaking from a different time I remember 1996 to 1999 growing up shit was crazy as a kid I seen 2 people die one od and one shot and those just the one I seen.. I get where he coming from but it’s kinda cringy
Pankration yeah but it was wayyyyyyy worse everything is being gentrified no what I mean i grew up in San Bernardino high murder rate but it’s way better then it used to be
I lived in Montebello and east la. It was worse in the 90s when i was in high school. My friends still live in the same neighborhood and its not as bad. Hipsters took over a lot of the bad areas.
No guns. I always like to learn about the hype fighters. Didn’t know much about him, so I watched. It’s like he’s stuck in teenage thug phase still. He should’ve kept the mysterious pretty boy killer persona. He was on the border of glorifying guns and killing the way he talked about some of his experiences that’s all.
