“I thought it was going to go to my head and he slipped it under my elbow,” Dollaway said in the post-fight press conference in Brazil. “I thought I had it covered and took a step back, tried to take a breath and was basically paralyzed. It’s a disappointing loss.”
Dollaway, who held a bag of ice close to his ribs during the entire press conference, doesn’t know yet if he suffered any fractures during the 62-second bout.
“I think it’s just a liver kick, but it’s starting to feel a little worse now that the adrenaline is wearing off,” he said, “but hopefully it’s just a liver kick and I’ll be back in training soon and be ready to fight again.”
