“Unfortunately tonight I was unable to express myself fully. My body didn't keep up after a week of antibiotics to fight an infection. I was present the entire time, but my absent body didn't react as usual. I only had one round to go. Sorry to disappoint, I'll come back stronger, thanks to Dustin (Poirier) for accepting this fight. It was impossible for me not to take advantage of the opportunity of such a fight,” wrote Saint-Denis.
Twelfth placed in the lightweight rankings, Saint-Denis was on an impressive streak of five consecutive victories and dreamed of a place in the division's top-10, but the defeat to Dustin poirier stopped, at least momentarily, the plans for the French prospect.
