Stephen Thompson spoke with UFC’s Megan Olivi moments after his loss to Darren Till at UFC Fight Night 130. Video from the interview and highlights are below:

On the decision loss: “I thought I edged it out, but he’s definitely a big boy. You could feel his weight out there a little bit. But you know what, it is what it is.”

On if Till’s weight miss factored into his loss: “You know what? It is what it is. I’m going to go back and definitely learn from this. But hat’s off to Darren.”

On people who took issue with the final score: “It could be a controversial three, maybe. But I felt like I would hit and move. The only really good shot he had in was that one shot in the fifth round. But other than that, it was pretty close.”

On his left leg being punished by Till’s kicks: “My left leg just a little bit. It kept me from moving around like I wanted to, but no excuses. I want to get my left leg checked out, and then see where we go from there.”
