He also revealed how his father had taught him survival from a situation one would like to avoid at all costs. Brian Ortega said:

“[My father] is the most humble man, who is deserving of so much. He taught me how to survive my whole life. I got shot at with my dad when I was five years old. People, at that time, if you looked a certain way, would try to fight you. Me, naturally, I had that look, the best thing he could do at that time was coach me how to survive.”

It is safe to say that the experiences Brian Ortega had as a child have prepared him to take on anything that life throws at him. Just like every other sour instance in his life, ‘T-City’ will also look to overcome the loss suffered in his previous fight.
