Morning Report: Jay Park gives his side of the altercation between himself and Brian Ortega at UFC 248

A few days from UFC 248, the saga between Brian Ortega and Jay Park continues.

On Saturday evening in the crowd at UFC 248, featherweight contender Brian Ortega confronted and slapped multi-platinum recording artist, and friend of Chan Sung Jung, Jay Park, in a move that few saw coming. Ortega was apparently mad because he views Park as the reason for ‘The Korean Zombie’ recently taking up trash talking, specifically, saying that Ortega “ducked” him when an ACL injury forced Ortega out of their planned fight at UFC Busan. But Jay Park says that’s patently untrue.
