Speaking on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show on ESPN this week, Ortega explained that, when he asked to be paid for his efforts ahead of UFC 226 — he held up his end of the bargain — he got a firm ‘no’ from UFC President Dana White.
“We had our talk,” he said (transcribed by Adam Guillen Jr. for MMAMania). “We agreed to disagree pretty much, I [asked] him if I was going to be compensated for anything, you know, if I would get anything. I told him I showed up, I did everything, my weight was good, did the open workouts, the media and he said, ‘No.'”
