I'm not the perfect person, but I have the perfect heart, I feel, when it comes to helping people.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
My whole life, I thought I sucked. And then I get in here, and I grapple other people, and I'm like, 'I'm actually good.'
Quote by -Brian Ortega
Not too many people present a good ground game from the bottom. They survive a little bit, and it's kind of boring. But not too many people are attacking from the bottom, hurting with elbows. They don't bring that kind of game because it takes a long time to develop.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
I'm not picky; I'll get it how I can take it. Submission, KO - whatever it is, if it has me winning, I'll take it.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
I get this weird feeling that there's bigger things to do still, and I can't wait to figure it out.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
One thing I took - you know, especially from boxing at a young age - from my coach was, if you're a jiu-jitsu guy, and you only cater your training to jiu-jitsu, there's going to come a day and time in your career when you face a guy who is a great wrestler, has great takedown defense, and he's going to make you look silly.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
Put on a camera and put on some whatever, and you're an actor. Put me in a cage, I'm a fighter. Put me somewhere else - I'm in an ocean, I'm a surfer. I don't know what I am, I just do it all. And I want to be good at everything.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
I don't look like a fighter. I like it, though, because it just allows me to be in the position I am now, to where I can venture out to wherever I want to go. I can go into acting. I can go into this; I can go different ways now. And because of fighting, I can do that.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
I've gotta check, but I think I'll be the first UFC fighter in history to have the lead role in a big movie.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
I was blessed to be able to be born here. My dad crossed. My dad illegally went through the border and was living under a bridge; he was homeless. People are making fun of him, beating him up. All kinds of things. After he kind of figured out the situation, he brought my mom over.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
My house always had at least 14 people in it. And one bathroom. So I didn't really want to be home.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
My house was a revolving door. You walk in, you walk out, you get whatever you can eat, you leave, you go hang out with friends. I'm on my mission, my sister's on another mission, my dad is working trying to provide, my mom is trying to do the same thing. And somehow, we're all co-existing with each other.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
I've been doing charity work since I'm 20 years old, and now I want to help kids.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
It's never been about an opponent. I don't care who it is. Just throw them in front of me and let me do what I have to do. Let me earn the belt.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
There's a lot of times when I shouldn't have been here. I go, 'Man, I'm blessed.' I've had people shoot at me and had all kinds of stuff happen, and somehow I'm still here, and other people are not.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
I've proven I can hang in there, go through adversity, and pull tricks out of the bag.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
There's always a way to pull back and discredit ourselves, but once you just shut that out and start doing it, you realize things about yourself that you never thought were possible.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
A lot of people think they need the best training partners, the best gym. I started with Vans, Jack in the Box, and a dream, and now I'm here. You just need to have that work ethic, focus, and dedication.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
Nobody expected me to finish Cub Swanson the way I did. When you see something like that, even I say, 'You're finally here. You're not only hanging with the best of the best, you're finishing them.'
Quote by -Brian Ortega
I just want people to realize that it doesn't take much to be a good person. Simple things is all it takes.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
It doesn't matter that I'm taking a fight on a month's notice. I've taken many fights on two seconds' notice.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
I want the real title. I can't express it enough that I want to fight for the real title. The interim title, from what I've seen... people get it, and then they take it away in a month. I just don't want to be that person.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
I've seen the worst. In my head, I've seen the worst. When I go into a fight, I'm all right. You know what I'm saying? I've already made it.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
For me, it was always survival. Learn where not to be at so you don't get shot. Learn where not to walk at so you don't get jumped. Learn who to stand up to, who not to stand up to. And then, when I got old enough to get a chip on my shoulder, I wanted to be the dog. I wanted to be the alpha.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
What's that song? It says, 'Everything that you do will come back to you in your sweet time?' That's why I still don't relax. Even my coach gets mad at me sometimes. He's like, 'Come on, man - relax.' I go, 'Nah.' I'm always good.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
I've always wanted better for myself; I just didn't know what route I was going to take.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
When I go in the Octagon, it's no big deal. Just gonna go fight. Majority of the people? 'Dude, I'm scared to even walk through there.' Everything's a matter of perspective.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
I very strongly dislike fear. I always say fear keeps us from living our lives and doing the things we want to do.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
If we have more confidence in ourselves, we can live a happier life and a better life.
Quote by -Brian Ortega
Fight fans always appreciate a fighter who is willing to step up on short notice.
