Mike De La Torre
“I had a total mental lapse and got caught. Next time I can promise you I will give a better performance.”
Brian Ortega
“I’m just incredibly happy to be on the big stage. Im trying to bring positivity to this sport and hopefully the fans can see that. I thought this fight was going to at least go two rounds and that we would stand and strike. I didn’t think I could get the submission on him, but he came at me aggressively and an opening appeared and that was that. Im ready for whatever the UFC throws at me next.”
