Video: UFC's Brian Ortega flies cross-country to choke out fan for gaming trash talk
Be careful who you troll in online gaming because you might just end up getting choked out by a UFC fighter.
Brian Ortega, a multiple-time UFC title challenger, flew all the way from California to North Carolina to put a fan in his place for talking smack online during a Fortnite session. The two made a bet, and unfortunately for the fan, Ortega won.
Ortega showed up to the fan’s workplace, waited for him to finish his shift, and then put him out. Below, you can watch the video:
Ortega has been one of the top contenders at 145 pounds for many years. He’s fought twice for the featherweight title, but both times came up short, losing decisions to Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski. Both fights won Fight of the Night bonuses.
Most recently, Ortega was seen in action in September, where he lost to rising star Diego Lopes at UFC 306. He’s yet to be booked to fight again.
