My Crew ๐Ÿƒ No Excuses, I Felt Flat. I Went Out & Welcomed The Attack Instead Of Defend. The Warm Up Time In The Back for @UFC Hasnโ€™t Been The Same Since Pre-COVID. Still No Excuses, Times Change & So Do People ๐Ÿƒ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿƒ The Time From Hotel To UFC Apex Is Much More Condensed & The Aggressive Level We Needed Was Not Reached. My Fault. ๐Ÿ’ฏ
After The Fight, We Were Checked By Doctors & Went Back To The Hotel. I Felt It Was In Order To Hit Pads/Spar Immediately Because The Fight Was Fresh In My Mind & Blood Circulation In My Arm Was Needed. I Really Needed To Figure Out What The Fโ€™n Problem Was From The Fight, Solution **Pre-Fight Time๐Ÿฅ‡Management**
Chuck Was Looking Take My Back or Go For The Armbar As Soon As We Hit The Mat. Thus I Didnโ€™t Worry About The Mount, Kid Was Slick But So Am I. I Was Looking For The Knockout Standing & Dโ€™arce From Bottom Position Once We Hit Jits Transitions. It Was Fun Fighting Against A Wetblanket (AKA โ€œHeavy Pressure Opponentโ€) Mark My Words,That Scenario Wonโ€™t Happen Again. Period.
My Arm Is Aright, The Armbar Was Really Tight. The Thought Of My Son ArmandAnthonyโ€™s Ability To Be Double Jointed In His Elbow During That Sequence & My Mental Capacity To Endure Pain Got Me Through It. # Breathe # Mental๐Ÿฅ‡TUFness. One โ˜๏ธ
Iโ€™m Beyond Grateful & Thankful For My Talents ๐ŸŒฑ I Have Learned So Much About Myself This Year & What My Purpose In Life Is. My Search For That Epic Word Called โ€œgreatnessโ€ Isnโ€™t Over. Understand Crew ๐Ÿƒ We Are Far From Being Retired, So Message To My Haters๐Ÿ–•๐Ÿค“ ๐Ÿ‘ *ShaBam*
Shout Out To My Team I Put Together On Three Weeks Notice. Weโ€™re Still Green๐Ÿฅ‡Boys Thanks For Not Deserting๐Ÿ’ฏMe. (Team, Weโ€™re Barely Scratching The Surface To What We Can Truly Accomplish & For That I Say Amen). It Was Great Making Weight & Being Around My Fight Fam For The Week. I Canโ€™t Wait Til We Compete In Front Of A Big Loud Crowd Again, Itโ€™s Not The Same Without You All
