Brian Ortega has been hit with a double whammy lately, finding himself on a 2-fight losing streak against Alexander Volkanovski and Yair Rodriguez, who happen to be headlining the UFC 284’s main and co-main events, respectively. To make matters worse, ‘T City’ has been on the sidelines due to an injury he sustained in his last fight against Yair Rodriguez. The former featherweight title challenger has been a bit of a ghost lately, with no word on his next fight.
To pile on the misery, Ortega and Tracy Cortez have recently called it quits, adding fuel to the fire in what has been a rough patch for the fighter. Despite all of this, the Californian has managed to capture the attention of his fans with a cryptic tweet that has left them scratching their heads, trying to figure out what he’s referring to.
