Brian 'T-City' Ortega is one of the most dangerous submission artists in the UFC, a featherweight who built an unbeaten run on slick, fight-ending jiu-jitsu and a granite chin. His guillotine and triangle game make him a threat from any position, and a rare knockout of former champion Frankie Edgar earned him a title shot.
He came up short in title bids against Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski, but his elite grappling and toughness have kept him among the division's top contenders for years. Fans love Ortega as a calm, dangerous grappler who is never truly out of a fight, capable of turning a single mistake by his opponent into an instant finish.
Why fans love Ortega
His elite, fight-ending jiu-jitsu and calm toughness make 'T-City' one of the most respected grapplers in the sport.
