From the fighters who didn’t win Saturday
There were 21 UFC fights Saturday and 21 winners who got the win money and the glory. But the fighters who lost are equally deserving of respect.
“Tell them, everything I know, I learned from the losses.”
-Jack Dempsey
The UFC did a double header Saturday, with UFN 43 in Auckland, New Zealand, and UFN 44 in San Antonio, TX. There were 21 fights, and 21 winners who received the win money and the glory.
However, the fighters who lost are equally deserving of respect, and offered their thoughts, via Twitter.
