Jordan Mein Didn’t Feel Extra Pressure to WIn at UFC on FOX 26

December 18, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Jordan Mein spoke following his win over Erick Silva at UFC on FOX 26 about ending his three-fight losing streak and more. Highlights, per MMAjunkie, are below:

On if he felt additional pressure to win due to his losing streak: “No, I didn’t. Because I just hold it to myself. And I know I have to push it to myself, to know that I had a good fight. And I can sleep well at night knowing that I was a warrior, and that’s all that matters to me. What felt even better (than winning) was knowing that I pushed my hardest, and I left it all on the line in there. And gave it my all. That’s what feels the best. Whether I have my hand raised or not, it’s whether or not I’m going out there and fighting with all my heart.”

On executing his gameplan against Silva: “When they’re feeling like they’re missing, and they can’t touch you and then you’re hitting them – it messes with their head, messes with their mind. And makes them second-guess coming in on you. That’s what I did.”

On what helped him bounce back from the loss: “I just didn’t have as much aggression as I have in the past. I made sure that wasn’t the case tonight. I put it all together with some aggression and got the job done.”
