\n\u201cThere will always be questions. Fans, people, they want to know what happened. But being knocked out is worse because you can\u2019t remember. There is just a black out. And then when you wake up, you\u2019re like: \u2018Uh? What happened? The fight is over?\u2019 And the ref says: \u2018Yeah, it\u2019s over and you lost.\u2019 But how? Then the ref says: \u2018Yeah, you\u2019re knocked out.\u2019 BUT HOW? The ref then answers: \u2018You took a big shot and fell to the mat… Unfortunately, it was a mistake and I paid a high price for it. It was a technical mistake, but it shouldn\u2019t have happened\u2026but happened. The truth is\u2026the charge that people put on me due to my previous performances was tremendous. So\u2026in this way when you make a mistake people just don\u2019t understand. It was an unintentional thing. I\u2019ve never said that I was the best in the world or that I was unbeatable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

“I stood with my legs parallel when I had to do a step back instead to dodge the punch that KO\u2019d me. Anyways, it was a sequence of events that led me to what happened. All the pre-fight tension and that feeling that makes you want to explode during the fight\u2026During the round breaks, I always go back to my corner. But this time, I didn\u2019t come back to my cornermen.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I came back to argue with Weidman, asking him to keep the fight on the feet, saying, \u2018let\u2019s strike, let\u2019s give a good show,\u2019 when actually I needed to come back to my corner, to get some instructions. I shouldn\u2019t have been there, discussing with Weidman. I should have calmed down to receive the instructions in order to do the right things in the second round. And I didn\u2019t do that. So I think I was out of control, lost my temper a little bit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
