— There are many examples of successful rematches in the UFC: Georges St-Pierre with Matt Serra, Cain Velasquez with Junior Dos Santos, Dustin Poirier with Conor McGregor. Is there one that motivates you or did you like it more than others plot-wise?
– I did not think about it.
— Which is more difficult: the evening of the day of a lost battle or the next morning, when the realization comes without adrenaline?
– Look… to be honest, it’s all these questions: “How did you feel… what emotions…” That was six months ago. It was a long time ago and it wasn’t with me. I’m not even going to think about it right now and I don’t want to. Now my mood is completely different. My attitude is not to carry all these sentimental and lyrical feelings with me. And move forward, to the end, without turning back anywhere. And I won’t even answer or think about it,” Shevchenko told .
