“No, I took him seriously,” the UFC light heavyweight said. “I’ve got a lot of respect to him. You know what’s the worst for me? Everything that he did in the fight we trained for it. We was ready for that. He was completely the same fighter we expected but I did nothing to stop him. I’ve got a lot of respect to him. I knew that he was gonna be in the best shape ever because [this was his second title fight]. So, I knew he was gonna be really good and he was. He was much better than me this time.”
