Mark Vologdin discussed his UFC debut performance, specifically addressing why he kept his hands very low in the third round despite taking significant strikes. When asked about keeping his guard down even as his corner shouted warnings, Vologdin said he was fighting on instinct and kept thinking his opponent wouldn't drop him even with his hands lowered. He acknowledged this was foolish but said he doesn't care what people write about him leaving his health on the line. Vologdin emphasized that he chose this path himself and simply enjoyed the experience, dismissing criticism about the level of competition or his technique.
