Vologdin explains low hands in UFC debut loss, says he chose this path

Mark Vologdin addressed criticism of keeping his hands low during the third round of his UFC debut. He acknowledged that his corner was yelling at him to keep his guard up, but he was fighting on instinct and believed his opponent wouldn't drop him even with lowered hands. Vologdin admitted this was foolish but stated he doesn't care about criticism regarding his technique or level, as he chose this path himself. Despite the defensive lapses, he said he enjoyed the experience of fighting in the UFC.
