The Californian gets up but is already bleeding&#8230; He tries to dive into the legs of Yair Rodriguez, without success. Once again, Ortega takes a knockdown and suffers a violent ground &amp; pound on his back. \u2018T-City\u2019 seeks to recompose in jiu-jitsu and comes out of it by taking his opponent\u2019s back! He takes the mounted position on Rodriguez before the end of the round rings.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"ca\" dir=\"ltr\">Watch as Brian Ortega settles the score with Yair Rodriguez, locking in an arm-triangle choke to earn the third-round submission in their rematch at UFC Fight Night in Mexico City. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFCMexico?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UFCMexico<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u0628\u0631\u064a\u0627\u0646 \u0623\u0648\u0631\u062a\u064a\u062c\u0627 \u064a\u062e\u0646\u0642 \u064a\u0627\u0626\u064a\u0631 \u0631\u0648\u062f\u0631\u064a\u062c\u064a\u0632 \u0628\u0639\u062f \u0623\u0646 \u0645\u0631 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u062c\u062d\u064a\u0645 \u0648\u064a\u0646\u062a\u0642\u0645 \u0645\u0646\u0647 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uRdIUr0P7q\">pic.twitter.com\/uRdIUr0P7q<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; mmamag.ma (@jamalsoussi10) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jamalsoussi10\/status\/1761745886835613966?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 25, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Round 2: After some standing exchanges, Brian Ortega takes the fight to the ground and takes a dominant position on &#8216;El Pantera&#8217;.
