Brian Ortega slaps down ‘super basic and average’ Twitter troll

It all started with a bit of good news: Featherweight standout Brian Ortega went to Twitter on Tuesday and let everyone know he’s ready to get back to work after the injuries suffered in his first career loss, to Max Holloway back at UFC 231.

All my broken bones are healed. It’s time to get back to work. #myjourney

But this is Twitter, of course, where there’s always a segment of the audience who feels they can tell other people that they’re terrible, even if they could never achieve anything close to what the person they’re attempting to blast has done or ever will do with their life. And so it goes:

You got rekt by a guy who got rekt easily by an average lightweight. Stop lying to yourself you are nothing but average, accept that now or feel much deeper pain later.

And while most public figures let troll comments slide, there’s always that one time you catch someone on the wrong day, or the wrong time, and it’s time to let the troll know.

Thus, “T-City” had the last word:

Any fighter who makes it in the @ufc is not average top 10 less average top 5 even less average top 3 rare type of people. Internet troll super basic and average 🤷🏽‍♂️ https://t.co/vhM2iSvAPm
