Best Quotes from UFC Fight Night Albany

Below are some of the best quotes, following their respective bouts, from winning fighters who competed at UFC Fight Night in Albany.

Shane Burgos:

“If I can do this on two weeks’ notice, it’s a message to everyone that your dreams are possible. If you believe in yourself, you work hard and you truly believe, anything is possible. I fed off the energy from the crowd. This is as close to a hometown show as I am going to get. I saw my family, my wife. We’re having a baby soon, so that was for my baby coming up. My mom’s birthday was yesterday, so I wanted to do this for her.”

Francis Ngannou:

 “This is something we drilled a lot because everyone thinks that I am only a striker. I wanted to show my submission game and I want to fight someone in the top-10 so I can prove that I am ready for a a shot at the belt.”

Derrick Lewis:

“I’m taking this win hard because I wasn’t acting like I should have been. I guess because Shamil was running around. I expected a better performance out of myself because I wanted a top-10 opponent and after a performance like that I don’t believe that I deserve one. I don’t see myself as a top-10 heavyweight because I’ve never seen any of those guys fight like I fought tonight. I don’t know if I can learn anything, right now I’m just highly disappointed. I need to take some time off and really think, press the reset button and see where I’m at.”
