Rising Featherweight Brian Ortega

Sunday, June 07, 2015- the replay of UFC Fight Night 68: Boetsch vs. Henderson was on and saw Thiago Tavares' forehead broke by lesser known fighter for me at that time named Brian Ortega. It was a big TKO win for the unbeaten Gracie BJJ black belter and BBS (Black Belt Surfing) owner who I learned just coming back from a suspension due to failed post-fight drug test in his rookie year. Triangle City or T-City still gained a new fan in me with how smart, creative and skilled he is. Ortega did it again at UFC 195: Lawler vs Condit. They won't call him 'T-City'for nothing. Diego Brandao was triangle choked by Brian. Without that beautiful finish, Brandao dominated and could've won it by decision. Clay Guida showed his veteran presence over Brian Ortega at UFC 199 - Rockhold vs Bisping. I was scared I knew he was about to lose the fight until he made that knee to the head. T-City knocked The Carpenter out. His come from behind victory and beautiful finishes am... ... See more

A New Addiction Has Emerged in The Philippines

I first tried it in the 90's, when my cousins told me they were doing it and it was the "cool" thing to do. Like most teens I tried it because I wanted to impress my older cousins and I wanted to be "part of the group". I didn't think much of it at the time, it was really no big deal. Looking back at it now, 16 years later, I realize that first session with my cousins was the start of a lifelong addiction. Since then I would do it in spurts. Never really went out of my way to find it but when I did come across people who do it, it was that much easier for me to join in. I tried it again with some people I met in University but that didn't last very long, maybe a couple of months. When I started working I came across some people that were really heavy into it, these guys were seriously addicted. Although I joined some of their sessions, I didn't allow myself to get hooked. I had a lot of other priorities at that time and I didn't want ... ... See more
