Mark Vologdin addressed questions about why he kept his hands very low in the third round of his UFC debut, which led to him absorbing many strikes. When asked about his corners warning him and the reasoning behind the defensive lapse, Vologdin admitted he was fighting on instinct. He acknowledged that even as his opponent was landing shots, he kept thinking the opponent would not drop him even with lowered hands, calling this mentality foolish. Vologdin emphasized he chose this path himself and does not care about criticism regarding technique or leaving his health on the line. He stated he simply enjoyed the experience of his debut fight.
