UFC 88: Post-Fight Press Conference
After a surprising second round knockout at the hands of Rashad Evans, Chuck confirmed that he may be down, but he definitely isn’t out. At the end of the first round, Chuck led unanimously with judges Jordan Breen, Mike Fridley and TJ De Dantis all scoring 10-9.
In a post-fight press conference, he told reporters, “I’m fine. And I got caught, what do you want me to say? I don’t know if I would have changed [the strategy]. I thought we had a good game plan for the fight. Obviously, I just didn’t execute it very well.”
Naturally, this led to questions about a possible retirement. “I’ll definitely take a little time,” said Iceman. “I always said I’ll decide if I want to retire in the training room, not after a fight. “
UFC 88: Breakthrough was held at the Philips Arena in Atlanta in front of a crowd of over 14,000, including Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and current light heavyweight champ Forrest Griffin.
