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