So why did Ortega need a Spanish translator?

[Koro_11]

To tell the ref he could see last night?

I'm not sure if anyone else caught that, I speak Spanish and I could swear that at one point when they were wasting time getting out of the corner (I think between rd. 4 and 5), and they were checking Ortega's vision, I thought I heard him get asked if he can see in English, then as he didn't respond they had someone asking him in Spanish to which he responded.



So what the fuck was that, you got this blue eyed kid from California who lived in his States all his life, and suddenly he needs a Spanish translator? Damn, Volk must have decked him pretty hard, sent his mind back to his ancestry.

Did anyone else catch this?

Volk punched the Ingles right out of him

I didn't see it, but that's hilarious if true

Maybe he was trying to honor Hispanic Heritage month, whatever that is

I heard it. My guess is the coach wanted to give Ortega the option of saying something without Herb knowing what he said. Instead, he was ready to fight.

EDIT: Not sure who actually asked

[Bearknuckle]

Gotta make him look as hispanic as possible.

He is Mexican

ok,mybad. but his street thug act is what annoys me

 

[Koro_11]

He is Mexican

Sure, as much as Matt Serra is Italian.

Imagine Luongo translating to Serra in Italian in between rounds like that?

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Volkanovski battered the guy's brain so bad he forgot English

Another white hating on ethnics. Business as usual.

Spanish is a language, and Spaniards are actually white.

I hope you learned something today.

What he hell does that have anything to do with Brian being Mexican? You’re clearly experiencing some racist stroke right now. Maybe you should call 911.

 

[Ivancho]

to give him more time to recover

 

[Race Freelie]

We caught it and discussed that he was buying time.

Mexico is not a race either you muppett, it's a country that has people of various races including white living there.

So where is my racism again?

 

[WildBoyDan]

I think ortega could be a character out of karate kid or cobra kai. He gives me that vibe when I see him.

It’s true. I heard it but he answered in English.
