“A big thank you to everyone for your support, it was absolutely unbelievable to be here,” Saint Denis said through an interpreter (h/t UFC). “Unfortunately, in that first round I came out and I was a little bit sleepy, and it allowed him to do enough damage to then play the Matador in the later rounds. So, I’m sorry for that. I’ll come back stronger. Sorry for that performance, but I was proud to represent the flag.”


Saint Denis later issued a statement on his Instagram, addressing his fans in French.


“It wasn’t my day, this sport is hard but incredible,” Saint Denis said. “Thank you to everyone for your unwavering support. Proud to have been able to represent France in the octagon and at home. Respect to my opponent for facing me at home, and congratulations to Renato Moicano. God tests us, and that’s nothing to compare with what I could experience.”

Glad to see BDS take the L without any excuses...It is refreshing after all of the O'Malley coping thats going on. I didn't care for his excuses after Poirier but I think the man has redeemed himself here. He is a just bleed guy so I would definitely like to see him rebound. Think he needs to take a bit of a step down in comp though. RDA, Turner and Pimblett are the only ones below him currently in the rankings. I say do the Paddy fight..
 
Back to the drawing board. Came out flat, and sometimes you just can’t do that.

Like Yan for example..

That guy would often not do much for the first 5-8 minutes. And then try to play catch up.

Getting your ass booted, and dropping the first round is obviously a horrible first round.

And the bizarre thing was that shoulder injury. It’s amazing Moicano was able to fight so well, with that.

That would explain all the Jab's Renato threw if it was his other shoulder that was hurt. When I broke my shit I couldn't even move hardly. His looked separated at the joint or something. Has anyone even said what kind of injury that was?

As far as BSD goes, He seems like a good dude and I respect his service (even if it was for France). However, what I really want to know is if there's any day after pics of BSD? I betcha he doesn't look human.
