“I was super impressed by the fight. I wasn’t super impressed by myself, but I was happy and grateful for the opportunity and also grateful for the firefight that I had. I haven’t had too many fights like that. Usually if I land a right kick to somebody’s head, they are going down. So when I hit him with that and he was still there, wobbling, I was like, ‘I’m in for a real fight.’ It woke me up and I kind of felt like I had a surreal experience.
“I hit him there with my best shot and I was like, ‘Damn. It just got real.’ I’m in the UFC top 15 now. This is where I’m at. It’s not going to be that easy. It kind of woke up something inside of me, especially in him, too. He hit me with some of his power shots and it didn’t faze me. I think that type of fight was just exactly what both of us needed to see who we truly are as fighters and has showed a good grasp of knowledge of different styles, being able to mix it up plus the heart and endurance that I had to use to win.”
