LAS VEGAS – Joe Pyfer exits UFC Fight Night 229 with mixed feelings.
On one hand, Pyfer (12-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) is elated he picked up another victory and maintained his unbeaten promotion al record in his first UFC co-main event appearance. On the other hand, Pyfer doesn’t think he fought up to par, despite a second-round submission of Abdul Razak Alhassan (12-6 MMA, 6-6 UFC).
“The performance was dogsh*t. The victory was amazing,” Pyfer told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. “Mental strength was weak this week. It was good, man. It was good. I feel really good. I don’t feel surprised. I told you I was better than him everywhere. I told everybody that and I was. I was better than him everywhere. I think I pretty much dominated except when he kicked me in the calf and it hit my frickin nerve.”
