“I think I did enough to take the belt. In the first round, he was better, but then I took everything. But... as they say, don't leave the decision in the hands of the judges. He didn’t surprise me in any way, I was only surprised by how well my game plan worked, how my takedowns went. Well, I am surprised by the decision of the judges,” Whittaker said at a press conference after UFC 271.
