‘Gamebred’ said in an interview with Megan Olivi, “To my daughter and my son, I’m sorry. Gosh, I hate freaking losing for my kids. That’s one thing that hurts me. I’m sorry. I’ll be back, though, better than ever.”

Furthermore, the BMF added, “I will be right back in the gym. I don’t know when I’ll be fighting, but I’m a workhorse. I’ll be right back in the gym as soon as I get back in after. Thank you, everyone, for tuning in. Miami, Houston, California, New York, I let you down. I saw all the fans who came here for me. Tremendous love and support. I’ll be back, man. All I can say is I tried my hardest. I’ll be back, though. Thank you, everybody.”
