Having any animosity or anything else toward Brian isn't going to help me in the cage. So I'm putting that aside. I'm treating him as Brian Ortega the fighter, as opposed to Brian Ortega the individual.
As I move up the ranks, it's getting harder and harder to get the KO or a decision, and I apologize for that.
Before Dong Hyun was signed with UFC, no one knew how the business was run and structured. I've always aimed to do better than him. By this, I don't mean I want to replace him, but I want to surpass him in terms of his career. I remember becoming motivated to fight in the UFC thanks to him.
The truth of the matter is that the people who succeed in the arts most often are the people who get up again after getting knocked down. Persistence is critical.
I've knocked around with Graeme McDowell for years and you learn from people.
There's nothing greater than just having people that pick you up when you get knocked down.
It's never nice to lose 3-0 and have the ball knocked round you a bit towards the end.
