Hollywood star Halle Berry posts picture of training with UFC featherweight Brian Ortega

Brian Ortega is still recovering from nose surgery after his first professional loss at 231.

However, that hasn't stopped him from training Hollywood star Halle Berry.

T-City lost his UFC featherweight championship clash with Max Holloway last December, but he is still ranked as the number two featherweight in the company.

Berry has been training for her role in her upcoming MMA film 'Bruised' which she will also direct. She posted a photo on Twitter showing the two together:

Deadspin offers some insight into the plot below:

The plot follows Jackie “Justice,” a disgraced MMA fighter who has failed at the one thing she’s ever been good at – fighting. When 6-year-old Manny, the son she walked out on years ago, returns to her doorstep, Jackie has to conquer her own demons, face one of the fiercest rising stars of the MMA world, and ultimately fight to become the mother this kid deserves.

Berry was also recently training with former UFC women’s Featherweight titleholder Cris Cyborg.

Halle was sitting front row - next to Ortega ironically - at UFC 232 to see Amanda Nunes knockout Cyborg in under a minute to become a double UFC champion.

Ortega, 28, is weighing up his options for his return to the octagon but it has been suggested that he is targeting a fight with UFC legend Jose Aldo.
