Frustrating as it was to lose his first ever UFC headliner, lightweight Thiago Moises will not allow his defeat to Islam Makhachev to distract him from his goal of becoming a champion. Despite losing in rather dominant fashion, the Brazilian prefers to consider the fight a learning experience and promises to come back stronger from it.
In an interview with Combate, Moises talked about how he could have handled the fight differently to avoid the same result. Nevertheless, regardless of how the fight ended, he acknowledged that youth is on his side and that he still has much to learn and improve in the coming years.
