Irish fighter UFC Ian Machado Garry in an interview with Spaceport Sweden he told how he felt two weeks after the defeat from Kazakhstan Shavkat Rakhmonovreports Sports.kz.
— How do you feel two weeks after your defeat to Shavkat? “I still feel the same way.” I don't feel like I lost. My inner state does not perceive this as defeat. I can't walk out of the octagon, think about my performance and be upset. Could I have done more? Undoubtedly. But I think 99.9% of fighters in their career think they could have done more.
I'm very proud of my performance. I'm proud of what I did in the Octagon, and even more proud of who I did it against. This man [Шавкат] was a “boogeyman”…
