“Many people are saying I was disrespecting Côté, but this is not true. My game plan since the beginning was to fight five rounds, inducing him to commit mistakes, capitalize on that during the first three rounds, and look for the knockout during the fourth and fifth rounds. It worked; the biggest proof is that I almost didn’t waste any blows. I connected with a couple of good punches and knees, but unfortunately, he got hurt, and the fight was over. This is not my fault.”
