UFC 266 title challenger Brian Ortega jokes that he’d take a dive for $1 million

Former and current UFC fighters gathered together last Saturday to watch the UFC’s latest PPV offering. Brendan Schaub brought Josh Thomson, TJ Dillashaw, and Brian Ortega on for his Fight Companion podcast to watch UFC 265, where Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane faced off for a piece of the UFC heavyweight championship.

While watching along as their fellow athletes competed inside the Octagon, the discussion turned to UFC locker room bonuses. TJ Dillashaw talked about how the UFC promised to “take care of” him for taking his bout with Joe Soto on 24 hours notice—for which Dillashaw says he got “zero dollars” bonus.
