Azamat Bekoev broke his silence one week after his loss to Treshaun Gore, acknowledging he had lost his instincts and deviated from his fighting style in recent bouts. The fighter revealed he is dealing with multiple injuries and will undergo surgery on his hand, nose, and broken leg. Bekoev stated he worked at 100% in training but admits the tactical approach was wrong, and he knew he was on the wrong path leading into the fight. He expressed deep gratitude for the overwhelming support from his community, particularly from the Caucasus region, calling it his duty to them. Bekoev dismissed critics by emphasizing he earned his UFC position through years of victories and promised to return to the fighting style that brought him success, while thanking his sponsors for standing by him during this difficult time.
