Very classy from the former champ. Should probably tell his coach to keep quiet though.

"My return to glory and pursuit of greatness will be unimaginable for the average minded."

Classy and humble indeed!

Hah, seems pretty harmless to me. Maybe I’ve seen worse. The next part in particular is pretty rare reflection.

“I have absolutely no excuses for my performance, l was beaten by a better fighter on the night, congratulations to my opponent and thank you for the honour of sharing the octagon with you.

Thank you for all the love and support from fans all over the world, and my sponsors that has always and will in the future play a critical role in my success”

My favorite is Gardbrandt endlessly repeating "no excuses" after the TJ loss between every single excuse he could think of. As if saying that is a magical mantra that cancels out the actual excuses he's just presented.

That paragraph is what stood out to me as well. Normally you hear it on the night and then the excuses trickle in over the next few days/weeks. Looks as though that isn’t happening here. Good for DDP.
