"He aprendido mi lección. Agradezco a Bellator. Pido disculpas a la comisión. Es poco profesional por no hacer el peso. No hay excusas, pero nadie sabe que es difícil reducir el peso con una lesión. El cinturón de sólo un adorno, así que sigo siendo el campeón en mis ojos. Nadie ha tomado el cinturón de mí ".
