“Everything went wrong (in the UFC 267). I shouldn't have fought that night, but what can you do? I can only go back to training, to the gym, training harder and trying to get that belt back. I won't be sad. I don't think about the fight because I don't want to waste my life on something like that. I’m not going to hide under the bed and cry,” he said.

All the UFC athletes, top 10, top 5, are incredible fighters and it's an honor for me to face them. Rakic ​​is good for my next step. Let’s see,” he concluded.
