""I blew out my knee, but I never counted myself out. I knew that all I needed was that one shot. I knew Jiri would come forward. I knew as soon as I landed the left hand, he was gone. I've got to sort this knee out, but I'm the champion.""
""I felt mercy in that fight. I felt sorry for him. This is one of the biggest lessons in my life. I can't understand. That fight was won. I won that fight. I had it. It was in my hand. I just let him [back] because I saw his injury. F---. Life is about that. Learn and be better.""
