Vologdin explains lowered hands in third round as instinct-driven fighting

Mark Vologdin discussed his UFC debut performance, specifically addressing why he kept his hands low in the third round despite taking many punches. When asked about this defensive lapse that his corner also warned him about, Vologdin admitted he was fighting on instinct. He explained that even when getting hit, he kept telling himself his opponent would not knock him down even with lowered hands, acknowledging this was foolish.
