“Thank you to everyone who reached out to see how I’m doing. I’m fine, just disappointed in myself. This sport is full of the highest highs and the lowest lows. Sometimes you’re the hammer and sometimes you’re the nail. Like always I’ll bounce back. Thanks for the support, can’t wait to get home to my family. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone.” – Ricardo Lamas
The loss snapped Lamas’ two-fight win streak, as he had previously scored stoppage victories over Jason Knight and Charles Oliveira.
Josh Emmett offered Ricardo Lamas an immediate rematch in a classy post-fight statement of his own.
Whether “The Bully” decides to take Emmett up on his offer remains to be seen.
