Brian Ortega is a man who believes in consequences.
It’s no secret that MMA fans can, at times, get a little too familiar with fighters, talking copious amounts of trash to them through the safety of the internet. Recently, a number of fighters have made a habit out of teaching some of those fans a lesson, and now “T-City” can count himself among that group.
On Tuesday, Ortega posted a video to social media where he had a light-hearted confrontation with a fan, Emi, who talked trash to him on Fortnite. Ortega flew out to North Carolina to meet Emi and then put him to sleep with a rear-naked choke.
“A lot of people ask me, ‘Hey, play with me on Fortnite!’ Cool, cool. Only problem is, you guys be talking mad you-know-what,” Ortega said. “So I had a homie, an online homie, start talking mad smack. The real reason why I flew to North Carolina is because he was talking shit, we made a bet. I said, ‘Bro, I’ll fly over there and choke you out.’ Here he is. I showed up. I showed up to his damn job. Had to wait for him to finish his job, so now I’m going to choke your ass out. A bet’s a bet. You going to go to sleep?”
“Yes,’” Emi responded.
Ortega then applied a fully locked in rear-naked choke to the fan and squeezed until he passed out. After a few seconds, the young man then woke up and flashed a peace sign.
“Shit, man! I took a nap! That felt weird! [Laughing] That shit was kinda fun!”
This was Ortega’s first submission win since losing to Diego Lopes at UFC 306.

Shame.
I’m sick to my stomach and heartbroken for these young men and coaches. One of the oldest sports at Cleveland State University—wrestling—is being cut.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Gotta say, credit to Emi. We obviously don’t know much about what happened behind the scenes, but he took that RNC like a champ.
