The only thing is, because it was a title shot, I was being a little overly-cautious and I wish I hadn&#8217;t done that. I didn&#8217;t really fight like myself and it cost me the fight. I beat myself in that fight. Jose Aldo didn&#8217;t beat me. But I know what I&#8217;d up be against again. I&#8217;m going to prove it against whoever I have to prove it to that I deserve another shot. I&#8217;ll be back in there with him.&#8221;<br \/>\nHe continued:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What I took away from that fight is, never fight like that again. Fight like myself, play my game and do what I did that got me to the title shot. Know what I mean? I was running through people before that, and I need to get back to that. So it made me really hungry, it opened up my eyes. Sometimes you need a loss like that to better yourself as a person and as a fighter. It&#8217;s only a loss if you don&#8217;t learn anything from it. If you learned something from it, I consider it a victory in my eyes. So, it&#8217;s only going to make me better in the end. The whole experience was great, it was awesome being co-main event on a pay-per-view card and having all the attention on you. I loved it. Now that I know what I know, there was nothing he threw at me that hurt me. I didn&#8217;t feel like I was in trouble not one second in the fight. I know that he scored a lot more points or whatever, but I was in there. I was causing damage, too. When you hear the Joe Rogan play-by-play, and he says that the leg kicks I was throwing on Aldo, he says, &#8216;Aldo is checking everyone of those kicks.&#8217; The types of kicks I throw on your leg, where I throw them, you can&#8217;t check it. If you lift your leg, I&#8217;m still hitting you in the same spot where I want to hit you. The people that were there after the fight, saw Aldo limping worse than me into the hotel after the fight. I was causing damage and if I have a chance again to get in there with him, I&#8217;d do a lot more. The only thing that held me back was, there was no aura from Aldo that held me back, it was in my own head. I was being too cautious. When I get in the cage, when the cage door closes, there is no man on earth that&#8217;s going to stand on the other side and intimidate me. I&#8217;m going to come forward at you the whole time, the only person that can beat is myself. And that&#8217;s what happened in that fight.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ricardo &#8220;The Bully&#8221; Lamas returns to action this Saturday against Hacran Dias at UFC Fight Night 44 in San Antonio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top ranked UFC featherweight Ricardo Lamas joined Majority Draw Radio during a recent interview to discuss his fight against Jose Aldo, and how Aldo didn&#8217;t beat &#8220;The Bully&#8221;, he beat himself. &#8220;No, not at all, I felt fine (after sitting out).
