Let us remind you that in February last year the Australian lost to the Dagestani by decision, and in October by knockout in the first round.
“Take any sport. What will we see? The team that wins is not always the best. The best team doesn't win all the time. Otherwise it would be boring. Yes, sometimes you look at the paper, do the analysis and think: “Oh, this team will win.” But this doesn't always happen. The team that plays better on game day wins. The same applies to combat.
The fighter who wins a fight on a given night is not necessarily the best fighter. This is simply the fighter who fought the best on fight night. I don’t come up with any excuses or anything like that, it just happens sometimes,” St. Pierre said in an interview with the Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA YouTube channel.
