Ortega commented on the victory over Rodriguez

Former UFC featherweight title challenger Brian Ortega summed up the results of the battle with Yair Rodriguez, which took place at the UFC Fight Night 237 tournament in Mexico City.

“First of all, I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Without him I am nothing. God is great, God is good—remember this. Amen.

When I caught him in the triangle, I knew it was the end. I trained very hard for this fight and put my life in order. I'm no longer acting like an idiot, I'm focused, I'm moving towards my goal. Together with my team, I worked hard continuously for three months.

Next step? We'll see. I see Dana and Hunter are here, I'll talk to you guys later, I'm not making a show out of this. Let’s talk face to face,” Ortega said after the fight.

Let us remember that Ortega “strangled” Rodriguez in the third round.
