“I felt bad, I vomited three or four times out of nervousness. Normally I don't get nervous, but back then I was sick. This is the only sport that makes me feel that way,” said the veteran.
After being submitted, 'El Cucuy' placed one of his gloves on the floor of the octagon and left the sequence of his career open. At the press conference, however, the veteran already seemed determined to stay active, even if he is no longer in the UFC.
“If these fans are willing enough to come here, travel and spend thousands of dollars to watch me compete, I guarantee they will follow me anywhere,” he declared.
