LAS VEGAS – Brian Ortega admits he hasn’t been perfect.
Sometimes, the shortcomings have been outside his control – like when his body shut down prior to UFC 303 in June leading to a fight day cancellation.
Ortega (16-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) admits he wasn’t himself during the lead-up and apologized for his behavior. He recounted coming to terms with the sequence of events while watching his scheduled opponent Diego Lopes (25-6 MMA, 4-1 UFC) beat last-minute replacement Dan Ige.
