Exciting UFC lightweight, Thiago Tavares has been speaking for the first time since his disappointing and somewhat shocking knockout loss at the hands of Shane Roller this past Thursday night on the UFC on Versus 3 show, a fight he hopes won’t be his last inside the octagon.Speaking via Tatame Magazine, Tavares said:
“I was doing fine on the fight, I was fast. I was defending myself all times, he hasn’t punched me once… I don’t have anything to say.”
“They haven’t told me anything about me being cut off. I dominated the fight, punched him and almost knocked him out on the first round, but I didn’t take my chance… Well, I think it’s the worst feeling I’ve ever had in my entire life: I was completely focus for this fight, doing well, concentrated, dominating the fight, and I lost because of one punch.”
“They always ask for a great show, they want exciting fights, and I’m exactly that guy. I do good fights, I’m aggressive, I always give my best. My fights were never boring. I play by what they ask me… If it’ll prevent me from getting cut off, I don’t know. This weight class is really too busy, there’re many newcomers now with WEC merge… let’s see what happens.”
Tavares had been undefeated in his previous three fights prior to his fight with Roller, a fight few expected him to lose, especially after dominating the first round. Will the Las Vegas based promotion give him another chance despite shedding the roster of a record number of lightweights since merging with the WEC?
