🚨🇧🇷 Mauricio Ruffy just posted a video explaining how he lost against Arman Tsarukyan. And apologizing to his fans. 👏
🗣"When I got that flash knockdown and felt his strength starting to fade, he was already hurt, and his eye was really swollen. He was going to take a lot of shots up top, and I knew I was going to finish the fight in the second round.
When the guys yelled at me that there were ten seconds left and he shot for my legs, that was actually the best thing for me. I thought, "He's going to spend a little more energy here. The second round is going to start, and I'm going to knock him out.
There were four seconds left, so I had strikes I could have thrown. I could have gotten away from the fence, but I didn't want to. I wanted to use that moment against him, and it was a good idea.
I just got careless. I relaxed—relaxed my defense, which is something I normally don't do. So I paid the price for that.
I want to apologize to my fans for the sadness of the loss. I know it's not easy to support someone through a defeat, but guys, I'm learning."
