Cortavious Romious’ journey back to the octagon

“Honestly, I go back and watch the fight and broadly speaking, that’s what happened,” he said. “I went in there feeling like an idiot. I felt stupid. I just thought: fuck it. And it showed. I didn’t even do anything. I just threw leather and got caught.”

The loss, his first in over three years, temporarily put his pursuit of a spot on the UFC roster on hold, but overall the fight actually fell into the win-or-learn category because he learned a lot. before he even took the walk.

“I was upset about everything that happened leading up to the fight,” Romious said. “Yes, it’s a loss, but I’m not mad. I went out on my shield, so it is what it is. Lesson learned. But it sucked. And the shittiest part was the night before.”
