In the aftermath of the bout, the former middleweight champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship took to X to convey a profound message and even paid his opponent a respectful tribute.
“We arrived, we witnessed, and we prevailed. Now is the time to haul the treasures back home. I want to express my gratitude to everyone who was dripping with sweat and bleeding day in and day out. You all are aware of who you are, and I would not be able to be here without those of you. Lastly, but most significantly, I would like to express my gratitude to my family, who inspire me to perform better each and every day. I would also like to express my gratitude to all of my sponsors who support me in between glorious moments.
He went on to say:
“This battle taught me a lot of valuable lessons, and it was an honor to be able to compete in the octagon beside someone who is such a fierce fighter. I am unwavering in my determination, and I will not give up until I have reclaimed what is rightfully mine. All of you guys have my love.
