UFC 230 prelim results

That’s how Jimmie Rivera feels in regards to his performance against Aljamain Sterling back in February.

“I wasn’t really up for that fight,” said Rivera, who seemed sluggish for the majority of the three-round affair, which Sterling won by unanimous decision. “I went in there and didn’t fight — I showed up and coasted the whole fight.

“I didn’t fight how I should have fought and that’s what kills me,” he added. “I’m upset with myself because I know I can do better. I know I can come out with a better performance.”

No one would argue that Rivera isn’t capable of more.
