The 'Blessed', who lost the 'BMF' belt to the Brazilian via unanimous decision at UFC 326 , last Saturday (7), in Las Vegas, opened his heart about the highs and lows in his career, acknowledging the negative result.

In a respectful tone, Holloway emphasized that he does not intend to apologize for the defeat and stated that he will continue working to return to the top of the division.
“The highs and the lows. Saturday night was not my night. I apologize to all my family, friends and fans that I let down. Congratulations to (Charles) Oliveira for doing what he knows how to do.
