“This Dude Is Wild”: Brian Ortega’s “John Wick” Inspired Move Has Fans Wilding Out as UFC Star Pulls Rare Submission Move During Live Training

UFC star Brian Ortega is one of the most highly-rated mixed martial artists in the world. The #3 ranked featherweight contender has delivered many memorable fights inside the octagon. The two-time title challenger has fought and beaten many of the best the promotion had to offer. Furthermore, he is also a first-degree jiu-jitsu black belt under Rener Gracie.

The former RFA featherweight champion is capable of some high-octane action moves and put them on display for the fans once. One of those clips has now surfaced again and is drawing parallels with the action sequences from the John Wick movies.

The clip in question is from the UFC 226 open workouts. The 32-year-old was supposed to fight then-champion Max Holloway in the co-main event for the featherweight title. However, Holloway had to pull out of the fight due to concussion-like symptoms.

During the open workout, ‘T-City’ put his skills on display alongside Rener Gracie. In an electrifying move, the agile Ortega did a no-hands kip up and shot for a takedown. In the next move, he threw a flying triangle choke on Rener Gracie.
