UFC featherweight contender Brian Ortega recently took an unusual approach to address some trash-talking within the gaming community. He traveled across the United States to teach a Fortnite player an unforgettable lesson about respecting opponents in both gaming and real life, showcasing the intersection of competitive sports and online interactions.
Ortega, who has cultivated a substantial online following due to his passion for video games, often indulges in Fortnite during intervals of his grueling fight training. His gaming sessions allow him to connect with fans and fellow gamers alike. Through his YouTube channels, he has garnered attention not just for his fighting prowess but also for his engaging personality as a gamer.
In a recent post on Instagram, Ortega expressed his enjoyment of the game but pointed out a common issue: the incessant trash talk from players, which he describes as “talking mad… you know what.” It was this type of banter that led Ortega to propose a unique wager involving his online adversary.

Ortega recounted flying to North Carolina to confront his online rival, stating, “The real reason why I flew there was because he was talking mad sh*t. We made a bet, and I said, ‘Bro, I’ll fly over there and choke you out.’” This bold promise turned out to be more than just an empty threat.

The scenario became even more entertaining as Ortega surprised the Fortnite player, identified as Emi, at his workplace. The UFC fighter declared, “I showed up to his damn job, so now I’m going to choke your ass out for a bet. Bet’s a bet.” This unexpected visit heightened the anticipation for what was about to transpire.
Following through on their wager, Ortega positioned himself behind Emi and secured him in a chokehold while instructing him to raise his hands in the air, cautioning the player that he would “know when [he] goes to sleep.” Within moments, Emi was rendered unconscious, slumped in his chair. However, he quickly regained consciousness and threw up a peace sign for the camera, quipping, “I took a nap, man.” Their laughter underscored the lighthearted nature of the encounter.
As the recording concluded, Emi expressed his astonishment with, “That f***ing sh*t felt weird.” The entire event serves as an entertaining reminder for gamers everywhere. Ortega concluded his video with a message of respect: “For all my gamers out there, remember you never know who you might be playing with. Respect to Emi for taking it like a man.”
