On Tuesday evening, \u201cNo Love\u201d released his first statement following the loss, and seemed to insinuate he\u2019ll continue competing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cThere are moments in life when hope fades, and the weight of endless problems makes the path unclear,\u201d Garbrandt wrote on Instagram. \u201cBut remember this \u2014 you only lose when you choose to give up.

Since then, it\u2019s been a bumpy road for the 35-year-old, winning just four of his next 12 appearances. Garbrandt got back in the win column in March at UFC 326, winning a decision against Xiao Long after multiple points were taken from Long for low blows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cody Garbrandt has given his first thoughts since getting knocked out at UFC 329.
