However, it was his words of inspiration during the octagon interview that left a lasting impact on fans. Acknowledging his rough start with the UFC, the flyweight said:

Listen, every warrior loses their way, but if you're seeing this, this is a testament you can always bounce back, you can always get it together, you can always set yourself straight and climb to the top, every single one of you, and I'm a living proof of that."

Lacerda, in search of his first UFC win, came out swinging and quickly hurt the American with powerful punches.
