ONE Fight Night 32: “The type of mindset that got me the loss” - Diego Paez shares the biggest lesson he learned from ONE debut

Diego Paez's ONE Championship debut didn't exactly go as planned. Paez competed for the very first time under the banner of the world's largest martial arts organization last February, where he dropped a close fight to Sean Climaco, losing via three-round split decision.

Now that Paez is ready to return to the ONE Championship ring, he pinpointed where he went wrong against Climaco.

"So, I definitely processed after and in the fight. I thought I was ahead. You know, I thought I had the first round and the second round I would give to him, and the third round I thought I closed it out. But that's the type of mindset that got me the loss."

Needless to say, Paez promises a much more accurate account of what he can do in his next fight. Fans won't have to wait long to see Diego Paez back in action in the ONE Championship ring.
