“But yeah, that eye poke? It hit different. At first, I was pissed—straight up angry—'cause I didn't want the ref stepping in like that. I was ready to keep going, push through. But then it sank in: disappointment, sadness, all of it. Felt bad for the fans too, you know? They came for a war, not this. And look, I get it—I’ve been there. Back when I fought Derrick Lewis, he nailed me with one, and I’m seeing double for like a whole round. Two Derricks swinging at me? Nightmare. So I totally feel for Tom; that shit hurts, messes with your vision, and in the heat of it, you just react. No one's lying about how brutal it is. Sucks for everybody involved.”

– detailing his immediate and later emotional reaction to the accidental eye poke that caused the no contest at UFC 321.
