As we know, Brian Ortega is one of the most effective submission artists of this or any other generation. He has been able to produce magic inside the Octagon and while he’s never won a world title, he’s come as close as you can possibly get over the years.

Of course, Ortega is also a pretty big character in the mixed martial arts community. He’s been around for so long now, to the point where many wonder what the direction of travel will be for him in his career moving forward.

For now, though, he’s busy doing side quests – such as choking out an online friend of his following some recent Fortnite trash talk.

“People ask me ‘Play with me on Fortnite’, cool cool. The only problem is you guys keep talking mad ‘you know what’,” Ortega said. “So I have an online homie talking mad smack, the real reason why I flew to North Carolina was because he was talking s***. We made a bet, and I said I’ll fly over there and choke you out. And here he is! I showed up!

“I showed up to his damn job and I had to wait for him to finish his job. So now, ‘Imma choke your a** out. A bet’s a bet!”
