Gilbert Burns on facing a loss

During the recent post-fight interview, Gilbert Burns shared his thoughts on the bitter taste of defeat.

“I’m a little bit disappointed,” Burns said as quoted by mmajunkie.usatoday.com. “I know I have the grit, I know I can fight hard, but I didn’t let go”. “I just feel like – I felt great this whole freaking week,” Burns said.

“I felt good in training camp. This morning was great. But when I got (to the cage), it didn’t flow. It just didn’t flow. Nothing was good. … I didn’t let it go. Props to Sean. Sean is a tough one. I hit him with some good shots, I tried to finish.

I think I forced the finish too much”.

Gilbert Burns on what’s next

“I don’t know. That’s a good question. I didn’t think about that, so I’ve got to rethink, I’ve got to go back, talk to my coaches, see what’s next.

At the same time, give a little time to my family. They give up so much when I’m in a camp for a fight. I’m gonna go back, spend time with the family, go back to train. I don’t have any injuries, thank God. I lost, but at least the body is feeling good”.
