“I appreciate your support after the fight last Saturday. Obviously things didn't go the way I wanted and that's why you guys always have to stick to the plan. That was my fault. This is what happens when you don't follow your fight plan - you get choked in the second round. In fact, I came out of the fight almost unscathed, except for the fact that I broke my leg when I tried to punch the body and hit my elbow. Don’t hit your opponent in the elbow because that sucks.”
Let us remember that Thompson lost to Rakhmonov by choke in the second round.
