The coach of former UFC welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena, Ben Vickers, commented on his protégé's defeat in the fight with Islam Makhachev at the UFC 322 tournament.
“Today, I am prouder of Jack and the team than ever before. Yes, we didn't succeed, but we dared to believe in the dream and took the risk. It hurts. It hurts like hell. But this sport doesn't end here—it's just a thing we love.
We have felt enormous support in recent weeks, as we have over the past decades. It means a lot. Rest assured—this is not the end, but only the beginning!” wrote Vickers on Instagram.
Let us recall that Della Maddalena lost to Makhachev by unanimous decision of the judges.
