“The efficiency is what it’s. I needed to do what I needed to do. I received caught within the second spherical. I received hit with one thing fairly good, after which I used to be capable of drive by way of the fence. He has good takedown protection, however he can not get off the cage. That’s not my fault. If that was me, I’m capable of circle off the cage. Regardless of the crowd thinks, what everybody thinks (by booing), that’s on him. He wasn’t getting off the fence (after we clinched), and I’m not going to let him off the fence. I attempt to take him down – he’s good proper there. That’s one thing Merab (Dvalishvili) did (towards Aldo), and and now take a look at him: He’s the champ.”
