After the fight:
[quote]The media wasn’t giving much respect to my opponent so you look bad when you lose. I made some mistakes which is a blessing because you can learn from them. I just stayed on him, I knew he was hurt from the first ground and pound. He was very tough, hard to put away. Whenever I do something on the ground full power like that I know the fight is pretty much over. It took longer than I expected though even though I’m in good shape. I want to stay busy, I need to train properly, stay focused and continue to grow as a fighter. Three fights a year would make me happy. – Rory MacDonald[/quote]
