Following the defeat, the experienced kickboxer posted a video statement, in which Rozenstruik stated the following (quotes via MMA Junkie).
“I just fought and the fight didn’t go my way,” Rozenstruik said. “I think it’s my worst performance ever, if you ask me. I’m hard (on) myself. I think I realize this.”
“I’m going to go back home and work my ass off for my next fight,” Rozenstruik said. “I don’t know who that’s going to be. Respect to Ciryl. He won the fight.”
