Brian Ortega Officially Apologizes To Jay Park, Rener Gracie Gets Involved In The Feud

Brian Ortega may have taken things too far when attending UFC 248, as he slapped musician and translator Jay Park across the face after Ortega took issue with what Park translated for Chan Sung Jung on a recent edition of Ariel Helwani?s MMA Show.

The fighter did try to explain his actions through a now deleted Twitter post, but now Ortega has issued an official apology through Twitter:

 

Rener Gracie is Ortega?s BJJ coach and when he read the initial statement from Ortega on the incident, would say the following on Instagram (via Bloody Elbow):

While it seems like some of the issues have been resolved after the madness at UFC 248, both Jung and Ortega are seemingly on the path to a battle in the Octagon.
