Azamat Bekoev broke his silence one week after his loss to Treshawn Gore, acknowledging he had strayed from his signature fighting style in recent bouts. Bekoev admitted that while he trained at 100% effort, the tactical approach was wrong and he knew he was going down the wrong path. Currently dealing with multiple injuries, he faces upcoming surgeries on his hand, nose, and broken leg. Despite the setback, Bekoev expressed gratitude for overwhelming support from fans worldwide, particularly from the Caucasus region and his own people. He vowed to return to his roots and the fighting style that brought him previous victories, rejecting critics who question his UFC credentials while thanking his sponsors for standing by him during this difficult period.
