French UFC lightweight fighter Benoit Saint-Denis has spoken out about his loss in his fight against former interim division champion Dustin Puryear.

"I fought Puryear while being completely dehydrated. I'm very disappointed in the defeat, but I would have been more disappointed if I had turned down the opportunity. My goal is to get back in the gym and fix some details that can't be neglected. Now I will never again let you doubt yourself.

God tests us in many ways, I am blessed to be surrounded and supported by good people. I will be back to show you my progress in the next fights and then earn a rematch with the Louisianan," wrote the Frenchman on Instagram.
