“Yesterday, I experienced my first knockout. That’s the reality of MMA. Some days you win, some days you lose. I know the rules of this sport, and I accept them. Congratulations to Axel on his victory, as well as for the respect and conduct he showed both before and after the fight. Now, I’m going to take the time I need to come back even stronger. It’s just another step in the journey. Thank you all for the many messages and the support. And above all, thank you to my entire team for their guidance, hard work, and presence by my side throughout this training camp. We stick together, through both wins and losses. We’ll come back stronger.” Fares Ziam via Google Translate
