He grew his hair back for the interview , what a pro 😂

Damn that hair grew back fast

I feel like this dude grew so much wiser in recent years. Again, his sincerity is something to admire.

His honesty is incredible. He’s introspective. Man, I think these other fighters gotta watch out.

I don't know why all the hate, I love this guy. His a real one.

I appreciated that Ortega admitted that he gets nervous before fights. Real ass dude.

Brian ortega had a choice... he chose to wait until Korean Zombie left to take a piss...

Even if Ortega loses that's only two losses against a top contender and champion. Not bad at all. But if he wins then that would be pretty damn impressive.

Wait so this interview is almost a year old? The interviewer said the fight was taking place in Korea, so this was before fight night 165.

Ortega a Real one, “Kill or Be Killed” - Nate Diaz

This interview officially turned me into a fan. Can't wait!

Ortega got exposed against Max but this fight against the Zombie will tell us how far he can really go.

Brian Ortega made a choice to get tagged in the dome 300+ times

Ortega must be doing good numbers for the UFC. They kept him in rankings for 2 years straight and putting out every bit of content with him separately on the official channel. The marketing team really likes him

The MEXICAN Brad Pitt

He got them dead shark eyes lol. Dude's a killer

Just saw his fight with the zombie and jumped to this interview Cant wait for Ortega vs volkov , Brian deserves the title.

The whole interview just sounds like he needed to take charge of his fight camps but never did cause he let those guys dictate his career

This format for interviews with fighters is so good, great way to see inside their heads. Dope content.

I wish I was as mellow as this guy. Genuine, mellow, sincere, articulate, proud yet humble.

Best interviewer ever. Made Brian seem normal for once

Brian “I grew up in the hood” Ortega

The Dude is spittin facts 💪🏻👊🏻 i like that

2:25 is his dad chael sonnen?

Brian “Bathroom Backhand” Ortega

“I see him asking for water. Yup. I’m about to ask for mine” lol! Too real!

T CITY BABY 🌃

Been 30 mins and it already has 25 dislikes and the videos 43 mins long, just goes to show how many people just hate to hate

I love this, whenever you don’t know who a fighter is personality wise you don’t ever never to assume who they are. This interview made me have a different perspective of Brian. Him and KZ will be a crazy one if I’m being honest

Magnificent interview, Salute. Loved the questions and the Honest authentic answers and not some PR bull Show. Refreshing!

7:02 Some Great Deep Talk AMAZING! TCity Mate

This interviewer seems off....

Real to the core

Who’s the interviewer ? This was an amazing interview this guy should do more, great questions !

He tries to talk a little extra cool. But overall not a bad dude. Gets too much hate.

These interviews are 🔥🔥🔥

Brian Ortega looks like a Calvin Klein model during the caveman era.

Been waiting for this thanks

I don't know why the UFC don't do more in depth interviews like this with more fighters? They usually only give interviews like this to McGregor. I never knew anything about Ortega before but I'll be looking out for him now

I don’t know much about Brian and it’s the first time I’ve heard him speak but the dude seems like a good guy you can tell the Holloway loss has had a big affect on him but let’s hope he puts it behind him and a good win over KZ will light his fire good luck bro wish you all the best for your future

Great interview

👍Great Interview.👍

Fight in December, in Korean. When was this interview done? I like Brian's insights.

Very well spoken. A very dangerous man is one that knows himself

Jesus This man is almost built to perfection.

last fight was loss to holloway december 8, 2018. fight for belt and lose you better stay busy and keep fighting. alot of people have forgotten about you

Mr. Ortega is all gentleman his heart is there great guy inside full of respect other fighters should be respectable like Brian down to earth well rounded young man.

Love his badass look without hair

Very interesting, happy for him.....he is maturing, bettering his craft , God Luck bro

Sometimes the best response is no response

Good honest sharing from Brian.

Didnt this interviewer hide under the desk while bisping stood up and faced the angry crowd.

mad respect for his honesty

I never knew to much about Brian but he's definitely the REAL DEAL!!! BTW My dad would get mad at me when I fought but it's a lil different in The Streets of Bakersfield

Hes definately got the mindset of somebody who want to be the best.great interview

Brian Ortega a classy, respectful fighter, class act. 👏

If he beats volkov and then goes on to win against max in the second fight and then the trilogy boy o boy it's a movie

Brian Ortega had a choice, he chose to shave his head to make weight

Theres a lot of closet Kpop ufc fans and it shows

Excellent interview

what an amazing and authentic young warrior. Ia fa'a malosi Brian

By his quality level, i think he will be on ufc top 10 for the next 5 years...

This man looked so sensational

He will always be known as the guy who slapped translator

It's not that i think fighters are dumb but I'm always surprised how smart they are!

Great interview.

Toxic fake fans are everywhere in MMA community these days SMH. As soon as Ortega lost to Max you guys said "Ortega sucks", "Ortega is not a real fighter", "Ortega is overrated" then as soon as he win over KZ now you guys are saying "KZ is overrated", "KZ lost ahahaha", "where the people that said Ortega will lose?" then you guys go turn around and say "Ortega will get beat by Volkonovski or Max". Just don't watch if you are just here to post and talk sh*t

This is why I believe he takes this division "New Champ" . I believe in his talent since day one, but since his evolution "Zombie fight" he's the Apex Predator now. Foot work looked amazing!

Never intensely realized that fighters may drink water for nerves which makes complete sense. Very relatable.

Sick interview. I really like Ortega and how he presented himself here, he said a lot of great stuff. Wish they wouldn’t go so hard on this ‘street hood past’ though, it’s kind of weird. It’s gonna be an interesting fight, let’s see how he evolved since the Max fight, I think he gets the W.

He grew his hair back for the interview , what a pro

He might've lost "that fight" with lil man but ultimately won look at him now, he won in life!

You know he a real one when he calls Max Holloway "the other guy". @20:47

Inspiring

Still can’t get over how Holloway handled him. Hopefully he’s learned and grown.

I love seeing all these casuals get proven wrong lmao Ortega beat that ass!

A bunch of haters in the comments.... ya'll gonna be mad asf for the next decade while Brian Ortega is dominating in the UFC

Good luck Ortega God bless you

😅😅He plays with his fingers very much😅😅His girlfriend must be very happy😅😅 Ortega is very professional, grew his hair back for the interview😆😆😆💥

Ortega is a classy fighter. He doesn't talk crap, he just fights.

Love this dude

10 months ago Brian Ortega did this interview

Brian is my favorite fighter because he came from nowhere to make it somewheres and doesn't matter if he ever becomes champ he's a great guy and I hope people respect him even if they don't like him but now the interview was took before his hair was cut that I'm 100% sure of but I'm 100% sure also that Brian will go back his hair before the next match been watching and learning from videos him and the Gracie academy have since he was 15 so I can tell you then he had very very short hair much like he did at the last match and of course he grew into the beautiful Tarzan man we all got used to I think it's nice seeing his haircut shorter again but I truly expected to get longer again people as for how long we last the average fighter last around 40 years of age so Brian's got about 10 years left based on that but then again maybe he'll define logic and be fighting like Sylvia did way past his early forties I say this from experience I roll with my 10-year-old nephew and me 44 years of age he has more strength than me but we have fun when we get to do that occasionally I love teaching my nephew some of the things I learned from the greatest academy videos from renter and Brian I learned this basic fact age has nothing to do about a sport it is about the fact that you're still having fun Brian's not just saying that he lives that any man that can jump on the cow and try to choke hold it and try to bear back ride it it's fine with me as a woman Tu as a muy guapo in caliente ombre mi fav luchador en ufc besame2 tu mi amor go get that belt TCity tu hombre b.o.

Brian "Achilles" Ortega, the irony if Zombie heel hooks him

I fucking love this guy man. Inspirational af

28:00 that is the same way lots of fighters have the same feeling (they want to show that they are better)

He's my sweet 💙

I really appreciate this interview by Brian Ortega.

Bryan Maximus Ortega the Gladiator of modern time

Love Ortega but do wish Ariel could have done this Interview. He always seems to take an interview from 'mediocre' to 'great' and Ortega deserves that.

So ready! Training with Dillashaws camp, Cub Swanson, Juan Archuleta (Bellators new champ) his new striking coaches Brian's standup will look like a new fighter and the help of Mike Saffaie strength and conditioning and Andy Galpin with the diet he will be a new athlete! All 6 of Zombie KO's came in the first round none in rounds 2-5. Zombie is 6 wins 5 loss in any fight that goes 2 rounds or more. Brian the only fighter with 4 consecutive 3rd round finishes..similar to the Brandao fight avoid the early explosive power in the first and the fight falls more and more into Brians favor. Brian TCity Ortega all day

This guy is a true west coast gangster , would love to see him and Nate Diaz in same weight clasz

So this interview was almost a year ago

solid interview.

I think the one who has the most perfect style to beat Khabib is Brian Ortega.

respect

Still don't understand how a lot of the people hate him. He is such a nice and smart guy.

Never heard him speak on this level. He seems pretty cool. How does he have hair again🤔

Ortega is as REAL as they come. Class Act

brian is as real a man as one can get.
