LOS ANGELES — Maybe the “T” in T-City stands for Tinseltown.
Brian Ortega said Monday that he’ll be gone for three months after UFC 231 filming a movie in Texas and Thailand. The Los Angeles native said he’ll be in the lead role of the action film, but couldn’t give many more details.
“It’s a movie that I signed with,” Ortega said at a media lunch. “I don’t know. I’ve gotta check, but I think I’ll be the first UFC fighter in history to have the lead role in a big movie. … I didn’t really talk to the producer yet, so I don’t really know what I can say or what I can’t say.
