Posting the reaction video on his YouTube channel, Ortega (15-1-1) revealed that he had crashed his father’s old truck when he was 17 years old and had a wish to undo his mistake ever since. Brian concocted a detailed plan and took the mission very seriously. He enlisted the help of friends and family members and even a Mariachi band.
It is not the first time that Ortega had a funny moment with a Mariachi group. Following his win over ‘The Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung, a Mariachi party received Ortega back at his hotel in Abu Dhabi.
Brian Ortega completed his redemption with his win over ‘The Korean Zombie’
Brian Ortega was once a UFC sensation. Taking his time between fights, he rocketed through the UFC featherweight ranks after six consecutive wins. Ortega admits he thought he was unbeatable. But life would chasten his attitude.
First, with a categorical defeat in his title shot to then-champion Max Holloway at UFC 231. Later, with a dire ACL injury before his highly-anticipated fight against Chan Sung Jung in December 2019. In the meantime, Ortega also changed his training team.
Ortega returned to the octagon this year to face ‘The Korean Zombie’ after more than a year without a fight - and he delivered. Converging his previous misfortunes into his will to be back at the top, Ortega displayed a convincing performance against a high-ranked opponent.
