Brian Ortega seems ready to start a new chapter in his UFC run.
Ortega has not been lucky lately. The once undefeated competition went 1-4 in his last five outings. After having cut a rough weight of his unanimous decision loss for Aljamain Sterling, many suggested that “T-City” should go up to 155 pounds.
It seems that this is the way that Ortega wants to follow, as he said Mmajunkie.com That something big might be in the making.
“I took a month off, I jump back in training,” said Ortega. “And we are looking for a future location here, and we are talking about a possible move to ’55, and now we are just looking for the opponent. I can’t say anything, but it will be dope of what I hear.”
Although it was heavy sleds for Ortega, he remains positive about the future and he is happy that he has taken the risks he has.
“I mean, for the real in this game, it comes with ups and downs, and at the moment it has been a down,” said Ortega. “I have still had people supported, but you can clearly see that the hatred comes through many corners. So in my career I am always high at my head. That is always the goal, but we have been a bit good lately, but it is all good. At the end of the day I am proud that I went for it.”
Ortega has a Pro MMA record of 16-5, 1 AD. He went from 14-0, 1 AD to 2-5 in his last seven fights. Ortega turns 35 in February 2026 and he hopes that a switch to lightweight will give him the boost he needs to get back on the right track.
