Ortega as his own translator is epic
No sabos need not apply.
Bro became his own translator
Wish translators actually did their jobs as good as bilinguals speaking for themselves do.
@@alexdiaz3311well he's an interpreter not a translator.
he wouldnt let him speak lol
@@alexdiaz3311seriously translators piss me off for getting the translation wrong 90% of the time
@@MrJbedoLike that guy at the seasonal press conference with Topuria. 😂
Ok let’s be honest after he fucked up his ankle I thought he was done for💀😂serious congrats to Brian though his heart is off the charts!
I bet you those odds switched up real quick during fighter intros 😂🤣😂
Rodriguez a (-2000) 😅
He just rolled his ankle you get over it after a few seconds or min
@@HPGLUCKY1 A few seconds is all your opponent needs to capitalise. It's impressive nevertheless.
He really became the Eagle
Same here man I thought he was screwed, but man push thru to get that sub in the 3rd round
Brian said “hold on brother I’m translating”✋ 🎤😎
Haha 😂
Bro this is a top tier comment 😂
😂😂😂
WOOOO 🤣🤣
LOL
Ortega constantly taking the mic from the interpreter is hilarious
Ferguson clone?
It's Felder lol you watching ufc since yesterday?
@@WRNWRW the interpreter is the translator dummy boy not felder
@@WRNWRWhe is talking about translator…
The translator was pretty shit anyway. Brian speaks Spanish quite fluently
Thats what an actual submission looks like, not a freak injury
Not true. You have to safely escape a sub..or u got subbed lol
I think yair legit subbed him in the first fight
But congrats to Brian Ortega
@@jzargo1709 What are you on about? Straight up casual.
@@Tony-hn8qy he got subbed, accept it
@@Matt-jc2mlno? tko by shoulder injury
You realize when a fighter is of quality when, as a visitor, the fans still respect you. Congratulations to both of you, warriors.
He's from California which is pretty much Mexico
Well, he's also Mexican.
And his parents and family are mexicans. How couldn't they not love him?
Agree, they are two warriors and two great technical fighters.
Did you not listen to his Spanish ??
People said that Ortega doens’t deserve to be in the top 5, but still fight proves that he still has it.
This fight proves he does but, go off.
He got lucky that Yair didnt show up. Could’ve put his lights out and instead opted to fight like shit. Oretga has horrible stand up. Ilia will beat tf out of Brian just like Volk and Max did
He proved me wrong for sure. Thank god I’m not somewhere I can place bets cause I’d be BROKE betting on Yair this fight
@@davis5574 "Yair didnt show up" what a nice cope. Yair did show up, had him on deaths doorstep in rd 1. But Brian's the tougher of the two, and he showed it when he took Yair into deep waters. I mean seriously, rd 2, didn't even try to find an opportunity to explode and get himself out of the vulnerable position. Same with rd 3.
Make sense why his name was never removed from the top 5 for the last 3 years 😂😂😂
That arm triangle w/Ezekiel synch was beautiful!
Brother had a reverse Ezekiel
@@JustinJasper-xo8gsthat named after an angel?
@@JacobsL4DD3Rthe angel was named after the sub
cinch*
And casuals slept on him😂
He speaks WAY better Spanish than I thought 😮
That was practically native level lol, I was impressed too
ortega is mexican, that's his primary language
He grew up split between Cali and Sonora why wouldn't he speak spanish?
Nah there’s definitely an English speaking accent there. But it’s pretty good
Texas and California are practically half mexican
"God will bless you infront of the same people who tried to break you" right infront of tracy was wild
I saw that she put that quote on her story too but i can’t remember if it was before or after the fight. It’d be perfect if he said it cuz she did lol
2:06 Brian being so casually funny in spanish that even the guy on the back can't help but crack a smirk
You should kiss him lol
@@cassanateliwhat are you talking about
@@cassanatelidookie for brains
What was he saying?
@@nutmegriot209”I was jumping when they were announcing our names and my fucking ankle rolled and I was like oh shit.
Felder had the death grip on the mic, Wasnt letting it go
Yeah I think they tell interviewers don't let go of the mic. People take it and start doing weird stuff.
Besides, I heard once that every interviewer needs to have his own mic. If that is so, I don't think they (Rogan, Felder, and so on) would let it go that easy 😅
Never let go, specially if the dude is gonna talk about god...
This is the exact reason for giving them the mic. Jesus is the truth, the way, and the answer. Everyone needs to hear about Jesus and God. Especially during these days of degeneracy and with the Anti Christ spirit taking over the world. The end is near and we ALL need to be ready for His return. I will pray for you.@@MVCvevasI
Yeah it's funny noticing that, in Pride they let the fighters hold the mic
I completely counted out Ortega but he has really improved his wrestling. Yair just couldn't keep him off of him and was throwing way too many looping shots
Yair just has terrible TDD
Why would you count out ortega? Must of got caught up in all the biased hater shit.
@@jaseallenson316 he got his ass beat well in the first fight and i think most people expected yair to improve is tdd ATLEAST A LITTLE after the volk fight
@@xavierb9061ilia would get pieced up by Ortega on the feet, then submitted on the ground... Remember this comment.
@@ThePhilosophicalOne stop being a waste of time
Congrat Ortega... He was right about being the Eagle.... Respect
he plucked out his eyes and regrew his ears
Right
Poor eagle always get beat up badly until the last moment..
Need to find a better term than an eagle lol
@@KP-jt5zmyair omly one round one brian won more of the fight than yair did.
He really took a gamble with the eagle speech, it was about to turn out like tito ortiz n it coulda, but brian ortega pulled through
Brain Ortega is an absolute inspiration to everyone. Great win! Awesome for proving the doubters wrong and showing there’s always room for improvement. Amen
Who on Gods green earth is “Brain Ortega”?
@@nsd_respect THE GOAT
facts
@@nsd_respectOrtega when he’s at his best, like sea level Cain
@@nsd_respectyou must be new here , brain Ortega is the name people use for him when he wins a fight .
I was there, the crowd was upset because Yair lost, but Ortega instantly won the arena with his naturally funny Spanish, they all loved him for that.
Crazy toughness from Ortega
Holyyyshittt, Brian revived his career!!
🤓🤙 Lfg!!
Revived? His career never went south. He lost to 2 of the greatest to ever do it(not just in weight class, but 2 of the ufc all-time greats period) and had a fluke brutal injury in his other loss.
@@jaseallenson316 he hasn't had a win in 4 years almost half a decade yeah man revived lol if he lost this one his career would of been led down the journeymen path but I'm glad he got the dub and on his way uppp
@@gabrielsilvas692Bro it’s 1 loss to prime volk and a shoulder injury what are u on about you act like he’s Tony Ferguson 😂
@@NoCapNick698 bros a fighter. has had 2 big medical suspensions. and on top of all that acl and shoulder reconstructions. dudes an animal hey
The fact that he felt like it was his obligation to translate himelf instead of the translator just shows you how good a guy Ortega is. He wanted to deliver the same energy.
Dammnnnn Yair was so close to finishing him in the first round. Gotta feel bad for him but props to Ortega for staying calm
Really wasn’t that close. Ortega has been in much worse situations against Volk and Max.
Couldn’t finish a hurt Ortega he’s overrated and Brandon too him and Brandon are the worst ufc champion ever
Lmao what are you talking about you casual😂😂😂
@@StaticXtreme444 dude I’m speaking facts he couldn’t finish Ortega in the first round
@@humzachudhary2056 he was very close. If he didn’t follow Ortega in the first round and kept beating up that leg he could’ve won.
Movsar vs Ortega for #1 contender match.... Book it!
You can’t just jump the #1 and #2 contenders lol, he gotta face either Volk or Max or just Fight Ilia, he’s not gonna shoot #1 contender if he beats Movsar
@@RenzaissanceTV Generally, any of the top 5 is viable when it comes to fighting for the title. You don’t have to literally be the #1 ranked fighter to be worthy of fighting for the belt. Plus Max is busy and Volk needs a LONG break
@@RenzaissanceTV sure you can. Ask O’Malley. Ask Chito. Ask Ilia. Ask Colby. 😀
Yeah mate and Holloway gets the title shot next
Movsar should fight Illia, and Ortega needs another win, maybe Emmett
"God will bless you in front of the same wicked people who tried to break you" shot fired at tracy cortez 😂💀
😂
LMAO
So it's true she cheated ?
Jesus rewarded his faith 🙏🙏
Amen and Shalom. teared up listening to him spread the Gospel.
Amen
@@rickyaguilar7572it’s great to see so many athletes praising god lately people are starting to wake up. even on the super bowl both quarterbacks were very vocal about their faith.
Yes Sir...As Soon As He refused to freak out and Asked God for Help...God Held him!🙏🏾
@@yknows3158 Yahawashi's
They didn’t bleep out when he said “pinche”😂😂
I've noticed that they don't censor curse words in other languages in U.S. products 😂.
They censored when he said “madres”
@@nsd_respect Lol. That's weird.
@@nsd_respectthey censored when he said "a la v3rga"
They only know English swear words
How can you not love this guy man.
Love this translator..always puts the fighters first
0:57 damn bro firing shots at Tracy lmao
i wonder what she did 😭
@@pronto7362 she cheated on him while he was recovering from his major surgery.
I think he was throwing shots a Yair bcuz he’s changes training camps every other year
@@edvinreyes9537 nah him and yair are cool
He’s just glorifying God
I'm mexican, I was pissed because Yair lost, but I can't be mad at Ortega, he's hilarious.
Has ido a los angeles de dónde viene Ortega? Puedes pasar años sin hablar inglés
Si te puede sentar mejor o peor, por eso es importante DISFRUTAR, respetar y valorar los deportes y a TODOS LOS COMPETIDORES no se cieguen y siempre respeten a todos (no usen distintas varas de medir para resaltar a algunos y desmerecer otros). Usen su propia cabeza y no se dejen llevar por lo que dice uno u otro🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑. Saludos y enhorabuena. Y lo importante no es caer, lo importante es saber levantarse!
Why ? Ortega is mexican as well both his parents are from somora
Ortega Is son of mexican(sonorenses)es norteno por eso es güero de ojo verde
Absolutely incredible come back against a dangerous opponent.
Fan of both...what a fight!
And that is how you win a crowd. Mexico likes Ortega now 🥋
Ortega is just tougher than Yair it that simple
Fact
And stronger too.
Yeah.
Yair has non existent takedown defense
Based on what? They stood and banged for the entire fight?
Didn't see this fight but that sounds like an oversimplification in a world where toughness isn't the only thing that determines outcomes.
If that was the case Romero and Vettori would have been champion
This guy is a monster. Always challenging the top fighters even if he only fights once a year because of injuries and his personal stuff.
One of the best interviews I've seen in the UFC hahaha
Crazy turnaround, round one ortega was hurt, dropped twice and yair had it 10-8, second round he turns the tables and in round 3 he gets the finish. Amazing comeback from brian ortega!
Did he fight for 10 minutes on that ankle?
He fookin sure did.
And he was rolling it when he ran out the octagon lol
Adrenaline stuff
Over 10 if he made it to the third.
Man it's so weird seeing him win finally. He has been through tough years but happy to see him rise again.
Dude didn’t need a translator had the crowd chuckling. T city is a real one 🤙🏼
Literally one of the best post fight octagon interview.
Lmfao that “A La V**ga” got me good 💀☠️
He was NOT going to lose in front of Tracy Cortez
Was she at the fights
His new girl is way hotter
@@jdisgood00 fact
Yea I show someone betting on oretaga because of this one reason
@@jdisgood00 who?
This is truly a rebirth for T City
Felicidades!!! Tipo limpio, honesto, y luchador. Fuerza!!!
New mythical fighter unlocked ✅🔓 : Ex gf in the crowd Ortega ⚠️
🥶
I was there and Brian ein the mexican people with gis spanish. We all wanted Pantera to win but after the interview we all were happy that he won. Much love to Ortega, I diente know how spanish was so good and used funny slang
won*
Thank the Lord 🙏🏼
This was the only fight I cared about. Good Job Brian!!!
Yeah that first bit was definitely a dig at Tracy 😂 good for him
Thought the same thing
Ortega is just distant to beat a great contender, and then gets absolutely obliterated by whoever’s ever the champ.
Just like chael.
Si amigo
Like Covington and Frankie Edgar
@@azma775frankie was a great champ
@@azma775Frankie was champ.
Jesus Christ is KING 👑
Putting God first. What's a massive heart great comeback great win
“A la verga” right after a mini sermon is wild 😂😂😂
Mexican heart >>>>>>
Seeing Ortega tell Goddard not to raise his hand & then Ortega slightly puts his head down walking up to Yair & even put his head on his chest (like a gesture of apology thru body language)...wow WHAT HUMILITY!?!! What a genuinely decent human being. Doesnt make me think for a second he deliberately held onto that submission longer than he should have. Probably just a heat of the moment mistake. However, that's also how people die. Such a dangerous sport.
He could've gloated in his win too afterward in his post fight octagon interview, but he didn't.
No call outs. And then he gives all his credit to God. T-City is a humble dude. I absolutely love it.
Hell yes! Ortega is a beast!
God bless you T-City. Keep the faith no matter what.
Y'all saying he got no chance to win after he got pieced up on the feet in the first fight, good thing it's a mma fight.
Yair is frail
brians coach like "yea hes saying something nice about me lets hug him"
That is Rener Gracie, grandson of Helio Gracie; the creator of Brazilian Jiujitsu.. Not just some coach..
@@PTigris7 yea exactly Brians coach I dont know were u got "just some coach" from
@@juicerbythedozen1083 He is not just Brian's coach, he is Rener Gracie
@@PTigris7 That aint LeBron?
@@juicerbythedozen1083 Who is LeBron?
Him vs Movsar is the fight to make now
Who does ilia fight then
Ortega didn't want his hand raised. What a classy man!
That usher was all business in there but cracks a smile at ALV 😂😂
Everyone before Volk fight: "Volk gonna destroy Topuria"
Everyone after: "Topuria unbeatable I've always been a fan"
Or maybe.. Just maybe.. Those are two different people. Some people thought Volk would win and some people were fans of Topuria all along. You act like those are the same people 😂
I was thinking Volk had it and I’m not gonna lie about it. I liker Topuria since his Ryan Hall fight, I knew he’d be champ at some point but not against Volk.
Biggest facts I’ve ever seen.
100%. I knew Topuria would get it done, but people were saying that even Yair would beat him 😂
Not me. Volk all the way. That dude been through battles fought all the best. Toporia is a great boxer, insane boxer but he isn’t better than Volk overall. Volk got caught, maybe his chin went but Volk will beat him on the rematch.
I've always been a fan but I think allot of ppl will take that belt off illia fast max for sure, and ortega might get it done
Happy for Ortega. He's a great fighter, very talented on his feet and has excellent submission skills. His only 3 losses comes from a Decision against Volk, whom he nearly submitted numerous times, Doctor Stoppage, and shoulder injury against the guy he just Submit. Never been KO'd or Submitted (yet). Overall, very solid fighter and would love to see how he handles Tuporia.
No podría manejarlo si acabo así contra yair .... Topuria lo deja ko antes de terminar el primer asalto ilia está 3 escalones por encima de todos en la división ahora mismo
Topuria has such excellent boxing and power, I think it might be a bad match up. Brian accepts that he is going to take damage and fight through it. The Hollaway/Ortega fight showed Brian just biting down and trying to wade through the storm. I hate seeing guys take abuse that way. Hooker/Porier was another hard one.
This whole interview was awesome from start to finish - and not from one cheesy or funny line, but class, humour - taking the mic and translating etc. I havent even seen the fight fully yet, but im excited to now!
I liked Ortega already, but seeing him come through more adversity and showing why he still belongs at the top... I'm so gassed for this man now, I'd love to see him go for the belt again
Ortega- Evloev is next. Winner fights Topuria
good call
nah, ortega vs ilia should be next right away
Y’all are mean . Why y’all want Brian to get knocked out lol let that man live .
@@draco2xxnaaah give brian some time to prepare first I want him to win the title
@@draco2xxIlia will slaughter him if Brian doesn't improve his boxing
At the start of 3 rd round Yair looked and fought so angrily you can see change in his face.he lost composure.Brian ready to capitalise strangled him to tap...
Brian is stone cold
Like poatan
You cannot hate this guy, all heart
Security guard has that cheeky smile when T-city was swearing. Let's go T-city!
Welcome back Brian Ortega!! Masterclass performance and win, coming back from that early offence from Yair was incredible 👏👏👏
Glad he praised our Lord and Savier Jesus Christ! 🙏
Amen! Praises be to Lord Jesus Christ !
Ortega got the respect form the mexican fans when he decided to speak in Spanish. Plus he believes in Jesus Christ. We love that
ESPN is ruining UFC. In between every round I have to hear "LIVE SPORTS" that annoying ad playing over and over. The production value is really going down lately.
bruh its not just ufc, the fact you called this out is hilarious. Doesn't matter what sport im watching all you hear is "berr berrr berrr berrr "live sports" ber ber ber " lmaooo
Yeah like the guy above me said its every sport. Its not just the ufc that does this
Capitalism. Spend the least amount of money on everything your buyer’s receive
@@spectre8469 Well then ESPN is ruining every sport not just UFC. I hate ESPN
This is Americas fault. And I love Merica! But goddam you know how to turn a simple game into a shopping mall experience or maybe an airport shopping mall experience is more adequate a description. European football shames american football when it comes to minimising disruption to what the crowd came to see.
Hell yeah love seeing him tell his story in his native language to people as well for us great performance much respect 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Yair as usual a complete dissapointment, congratulations to Ortega YOU DO have a heart
Rener very happy with the submission win.
Translator got his hands on hips like " so wtf am i here?"
It's time for Yair start training by Khabib.
Lol. Would be interesting.
Gracias a Dios vamos mexico 🇲🇽 ❤️👏🏼
Welcome back T City, some of us stayed in your corner. Yair pushed his striking hard in the first and tested Brian, but 2 and 3 adjustments were made for Ortega. Thank you both for this fight.
Cool move to ask Goddard to not lift his hand. Goddard is so professional too, adjusted quickly. Best ref in the UFC
No corremos, nos quedamos con nuestra gente!!! Respect for T city
Me when I roll my ankle: My wife carries me to the car to go to the emergency room and I’m crying the whole way.
When Brian rolls his ankle: He wins a fight against one of the best fighters in the world. 😂
His ankle doing that was genuinely terrifying
I think Yair was focusing on toporia instead of Ortega.
Man Topuria would have given Yair a worse beating than volk did to Yair
probably 😂
Not really lmao style makes fights@@rocotaco5517
Yair thinks he's a bigger deal than he is. 😂
@@rocotaco5517agreed
I thought he was going to get stopped in the 1st, great comeback by Ortega!
He is back in the winning column as a fighter and also back with his wife (mother of his kids ) Stephanie , faith in God does wonders indeed
He's his own translator. Love it.
Whoever did his hair did a great job
Ilia absolute smokes both dudes
At the same time via double chokeslam
I don't think so. Topuria is a one hit wonder. It's in his nature.
@@havenhale7690you definitely don’t know what your talking about.
@@havenhale7690 is that why he's 15-0?
😏 smoking two dudes?!
"in front of the same wicked people who tried to break you"
That's a dig at Tracy for sure 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
True grit from a true pro and veteran of the game. 🙏
This might be one of the most iconic fights in UFC history given that start and given what this does for Ortega's career AND given the fact Volk has just been dethroned. What a wild sport.
I love you ortega my bro is back yesssss❤❤❤❤ love you
I saw this live, everyone was rooting for Yair but me 😂. I’m from California dude that is as fun. I’ve been to 5 ufc events and this one was so fun. The Mexican crowd booed non Mexicans, had funny chants the whole time and danced every chance they got 😂. What an experience
T City could be huge in Mexico. Look how he fucking rocked the mic, even got a couple big laughs from the crowd. Man’s even his own translator.
Ortega is the real Get Back Gang💯look the first round and even before with his ankle bro get wacked but get back like Real G
Always impressive when people who fight for a living speak multiple languages
That Ortega Spanish is AMAZING
Holy shit HES BACK that was a quick and fast submission did it like a master!🐲🐉🦅
Just imagine if he did that in the first fight well over a year ago. The top of featherweight division could look so different. Tcity is back 💪
He would've fought Emmett. Interesting.
@@brandonamezquita4501 or he would have fought Volk when Yair did. Could have had an upset like almost did in 2021, could have been Illa and Brian last month. MMA is a crazy sport.
@@kyleh636 Yeah. 1 little thing can change everything.
