Brian Ortega Worried He Could Get Distracted
UFC Featherweight Brian Ortega has been given a sneak preview of what the UFC have in store for UFC 306. This is when the UFC goes to The Sphere in Las Vegas. Brian Ortega talked about how the visual spectacle the UFC is putting on could distract him during the fight. Ortega is facing up-and-coming contender Diego Lopes. The two were supposed to face each other at UFC 303 however, due to Ortega getting ill on the day he was forced to withdraw. Lopes stayed on the card as Dan Ige came to the rescue and Diego Lopes defeated Ige due to a unanimous decision.
The UFC has already spent over $17 million on this event already ready. Dana White has come out and said this will be a one-off event at the unique arena. The venue has been famed for its wrapped LED screen and 4d effects. Speaking on the Morning Kombat show Brian Ortega;
“I went to Vegas, and we did some filming for it.”
“They put some VR goggles on us, and we were able to see what the arena would look like on the inside. And bro, it’s crazy. I can’t say too much because I’m not allowed to.”
“But, yeah, it’s going to be something where I for sure have to stay locked in and tuned. I have to stay focused, because if you start paying attention at what’s going to go on when the fight happens, I’ll for sure be distracted.”
“And I probably will, but probably it’s going to be for a good cause anyways. Once I get punched in the face, I’m going to come back to reality anyways.”
