"Thanks to everyone who supported and worried about me. I know that you were waiting another fight from me. I am very unhappy with my performance, it had a lot of mistakes, I was not myself in that battle, after the first round I was tired, did not feel the distance, maybe it's long layoff or acclimatization. Thank God anyway. I'll be back very soon, we just started, so the next time you'll see me in a completely different fight."
In the main event of this evening Yair Rodriguez met Jeremy Stevens.
