“I know myself, I will come back 10 times better, I have a family and a huge team that will make this happen. Let’s get this back. I wouldn’t change a thing about what we did at camp. We did everything very well. I was hitting really hard, I had a really strong mentality. But we don’t write God. This is the reality“, added the fighter.
I learned a lot from it. It wasn’t my time, it wasn’t my day. I think today was the day to really lose, to go home and cool down a little bit to get back on top. I do not have anything to do. Today he was better than me. I don’t have to make excuses“, he acknowledged.
