Azamat Bekoev issued a statement one week after his loss to Trayshon Gore, acknowledging he strayed from his fighting style in recent bouts. Bekoev admitted he lost his instinct and took a wrong tactical path, despite training at 100 percent effort. He revealed he is currently dealing with multiple injuries including a broken hand, nose, and leg, with surgery scheduled for his hand and nose. Bekoev thanked his supporters, particularly from the Caucasus region, and dismissed critics by stating he earned his UFC position through years of victories. He promised to return to his original fighting style that brought him success.
