Last night, in the main event of UFC 211<\/a>, former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos failed to reclaim the title, as he succumbed to first round strikes dealt by reigning champ Stipe Miocic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite this lopsided loss, an ever classy Dos Santos joined the media post fight to discuss his performance. Unsurprisingly, he was not happy.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m very disappointed,\u201d Dos Santos told the media of his emotional state (via MMAFighting.com)<\/a>. \u201cNot because he won the fight, but because I lost. I didn\u2019t do any mistake in the fight. Actually, everything was working very well. I know he walks forward all the time, and I like to walk backwards and enjoy the opportunities that my opponents give to me.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the heavyweight division, you know?\u201d Dos Santos continued. \u201cI think I\u2019ve made many, many guys feel like that. It\u2019s terrible, man. It\u2019s terrible. Because I was prepared \u2014 I am prepared. And I had a lot to give there and everything, like I said, everything was working very well. The way we expected. We knew he was a tough guy and he would walk forward all the time. And like I said, the kicks, something else I brought to the fight that worked, and then I\u2019d have to watch the fight to see what happened.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While he finds this loss very disappointing, Dos Santos explained that he’s eager to get back in there as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t pick opponents,\u201d he said. \u201cYou know, I\u2019m here to fight. And now I\u2019m looking forward for my next fight already because I want to delete this thing. Man, I have to sit down to understand what kind of lesson God wants me to understand because, yeah…but I\u2019m here. I\u2019m still looking forward for my future fights because that\u2019s what I love to do.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How do you think Junior Dos Santos will rebound from this loss?<\/p>\n
