Brian Ortega recently took a trip all the way to North Carolina to confront an individual who trashtalked him while playing the popular online game, Fortnite. Now, 'T-City' has taken to Twitter to issue a warning to those who want to talk trash online.
Ortega has been out of the action since his fight against Diego lopes at UFC 306 Sept. last year, where he had faced defeat by unanimous decision. ‘T-City’ spent his time away from the octagon indulging in video games, often playing online with fans. Recently, one Fortnite session led to a heated interaction between Oretga and another player, as the UFC featherweight made a bet and promised to fly out to North Carolina to choke out the other individual.
Known for his elite grappling skills, the former featherweight title challenger stayed true to his word. He made the trip and put the trash talker to sleep with a rear-naked choke, turning an online rivalry into a lesson to remember. A video of Ortega doing so also made it's way to social media.
Championship Rounds posted the video on X, grabbing the attention of many, including Ortega himself. The former title challenger reshared the clip and wrote:
