UFC 248 video of Brian Ortega altercation with Jay Park emerges – ‘I told you I’d slap you’
- Footage shows UFC featherweight Ortega and Korean rapper Park being separated by security and bystanders in Las Vegas
- Park says his jaw is still stiff and likens incident to ‘Conor McGregor punching that old dude in the pub’
We still might not get to see the slap. But footage has emerged of the aftermath of Brian Ortega’s confrontation with Jay Park at UFC 248.
“T-City” was escorted out of the fighters’ section at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night after confronting the Korean rapper and slapping him.
Park was watching the show with “The Korean Zombie” Jung Chan-sung, whom he is friends with and has acted as a translator for in interviews.
It was one of those interviews, with ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, that set featherweight Ortega off, when Park translated Jung’s claim that the American “ducked” him by withdrawing injured from their UFC Busan fight in December.
The incident happened while Jung went to the bathroom. The video obtained by TMZ Sports does not show the slap, but picks up Ortega telling Park “I told you I’d slap you like a b****”.
Security and bystanders intervene to hold the two men apart.
