I already told him you know, we can run it back anytime. We can do this. But I'd rather do it for a championship instead of being in a situation like this. &quot;Whatever the UFC decides, I'm okay with whatever. It's unfortunate, bro. I don't know what to say. I prepare to win. I guess I did, not the way I wanted... I'm sorry this happened.
