Has a fighter ever won by "robbery", and also admitted they lost?

That would be hard to do. In a close fight it's not easy to keep track of who won 3-5 rounds, it's not even easy to keep track of who did the most damage.
 
Does this count as such an admission (nonverbally)?

Damn, if he lost and retired that fight, he wouldn't have went on a 7 fight losing streak and would be looked at with much higher regard

He would have returned either way Is my guess. When you’re a guy who’s still picking fights at bars In your late 30s it’s just what you do

nah you can't really trust anything a fighter says when it comes to retiring, especially a guy who told GSP it was to the death and then quit on his stool.

I notice that during controversial fights where most would consider it a robbery,, the person who won usually declares they felt they won, e.g. Paddy beating Gordon, and today Haney beating Loma (not sure if it was a robbery, only saw highlights)

Has there been any instance where a fight was a clear robbery, and the fighter who was awarded the win admitted they felt they lost?

Also, do you think that would earn more respect from fans, by being the bigger man and admitting you robbed your opponent and should have lost?

Paddy Pimblett always struck me as wanting to admit Jared Gordon won.

How much rent must a man own in your head for you to make alt accounts to lie on his name just to imagine he feels he lost? Imagine how above you that you would have to feel a man was to pull some bitch booty stuff like lie on his words? I don’t feel your King fu treachery. Not one bit

Is fake news and outright lying the vogue chic thing to do as long as it’s about Jones?

Yeah yeah, totally baseless... He's clearly in pull-something-out-of-your-ass mode when he's talking about the takedowns. What are you, a simp?

You must come from a long line of suckers. You made up imaginary scenarios where a man said he lost like a straight up little gossiping school girl. Keisha I need you to grow the hell up. Have some dignity about yourself and don’t sink so low
 
Arlovski admitted that he feel like he didn't win in his fight with Mir, same with Blachowicz against Ankalaev, D-Rod with Jingliang, Joe asked him "did you feel like you've won the fight" and he literally said "No I didn't" and Bisping in his post fight interview after his close fight with Hendo for the MW title, he was like "First of all, give it up for Dan Henderson, everybody, this guy is incredible, especially at his age, he just kicked my ass, man" and then, Rutten/Randleman, Volko/Max, GSP/Hendricks, Aljo/Cejudo and JDS/Stipe were apologetic in their close wins.

BTW, (Ketlen, Valentina, Nunes...etc all should learn a thing or two from D-Rod as well as the fighters that I've mentioned, oh well, most Women fighters don't show this level of class in their close fights ffs, only Zhang comes to mind when she acted apologetic in her close fight with Joanna in their first encounter, and maybe Rose in her rematch with Zhang as well)

Yeah how dare say something about a guy's tone of voice
You never heard of someone "sounding defeated"?

You do understand he was the champ and he was used to people cheering his every victory right? Which was every fight correct? Well when the crowd gives mixed emotions after your fight don’t you think that would affect anyone’s tone whether they thought they won or not? Do I really have to reason for you?
