"I had nothing to lose, I was just thrown into this maelstrom. I didn't go to bed until two, but that was the plan. I was ready for a serious challenge, but I kept my composure. I was one stroke away from winning! It was the craziest weekend of my life. Remember the attack on the bus? I thought it was terrorists! One of the guys curled up like a plane crash. I was looking around thinking, "What the hell is going on?" Then I saw Conor," Iaquinta said in an interview with Ariel Helwani.
Recall, Iaquinta lost to Khabib by unanimous decision of judges. The fight took place in 2018.
