Being so, Burns she dictated: “It is always painful, but as the days go by, I feel better. I watched the fight multiple times, possibly more than 20 times already. I started very well and lost my patience. I saw the knockout and started chasing him too much, loaded a lot of punches. I was out of my zone at the time, but I was there. If I had a little more patience, a little more relaxed, even if I was listening to Vicente Luque, the things he said to me, ‘Hey, don’t load. Keep the punches fast. He’s not fighting you. ‘

He was sincere: Santiago Ponzinibbio broke the silence after his fateful return to the UFC

“When I was trying to be fast and not charge, he didn’t find any hit for me, nothing. The head movement was on the point. The footwork was ready. But as soon as I hit it hard once, I got out of there and it was hard to get back into my flow mode. I already texted Dana. I already texted Ali. I already texted Sean Shelby. They want me to take some time off, “said the Brazilian.

Made several mistakes

On the other hand, Gilbert He added: “That is exactly what I am going to do, but I think that in three or four weeks I will be able to go back to training camp and training, but we’ll see. It’s hard to relax right now because I was believing so much that I would become a champion, and now it didn’t happen, so it’s kind of weird right now, but I’m trying to be in the moment right now.

“At first, when I got back to the hotel, I was already thinking, ‘OK, I want to fight Colby next.’ So Colby is fighting Leon Edwards. ‘Okay, give me Michael Chiesa.’ The names went. Maybe ‘Wonderboy’. But to be honest, right now I don’t know. I just saw Colby-Leon, I don’t think it’s going to happen. Now we have some time, especially with the whole division fired like this. It seems that Kamaru is going to fight against (Jorge) Masvidal », he concluded Gilbert Burns.
