“I would like to say my respects to the Fabricio Werdum. It's an honor for me to fight such a renowned fighter, and I thank Werdum for accepting this challenge. It's a sport, and each of us tried to do our best that night. Training and fighting with Werdum is a great experience for me, which gives me the opportunity to develop further.
