Is Brian Ortega the real deal?

[darrenm]

Didn't he get popped for Roids his first UFC fight?

Yes, it was his fight with de la Torre which was overturned to a NC.

It was drostanalone. But what impressed me (or surprised me) was what he said publicly after the test results came back. No excuses like kangaroo meat, protein supplements, blue liquid from Thailand, or so and so handed me a pill and told me it was aspirin...

“In preparation for my UFC debut, I used a banned substance called drostanalone. It was an irresponsible decision that I will regret for the rest of my life. I apologize to my family, friends, fans, the UFC and everyone else who was affected by my selfish actions,” Ortega wrote. “It should be known that my coaches were totally unaware of my decisions, and I am ashamed that I let down the people who believed in me more than I believed in myself.”

this also got me gripped, but i only saw this before the cub fight. was well on board before!



i love how you describe him like one of those cold psychos from point break (in previous posts you have)! couldnt be more true!

I love that video... Dude has a kind of edge to him like there's something not quite there - it's that coldness mixed with how much he's already seen and done... You get the feeling he only feels whole when he' doing something dangerous, and having gone 12 rounds with death and won, the piece of him that would hold him back is the only thing that drowned that day...

I know a few hardcore surfer types... Great guys but dangerous as shit to cross. Bitches love them though. A lot... And they never care about the bitches nearly as much as the danger, which is why people like dudes like him so much... Just Brian is a slightly unhinged version of that, who also enjoys getting his face caved in, then choking someone half to death.

How can anyone not be a fan?

Is this a real question?

Ortega is good but not close to Edgar level.
it will look like the Yair fight, the only difference is that Ortega is a master at bjj but Edgar is smart enough to avoid Ortega's attacks

I keep doubting this dude, he keeps winning. I should stop, but he’s got a pretty tough test next. I do hope he takes it, it’s time for the next generation.
