American UFC light heavyweight fighter Khalil Rountree reflected on his emotions following his loss in a title fight against Brazilian Alex Pereira.
In the locker room, I was very relaxed. When I was in the cage and he was walking out the only thing I could really remember is just being happy. Even the moment when I got finished in the fourth round, like, I just felt so happy throughout that whole fight, it felt like where I belonged, I felt like I belonged there. I was really like living in a dream.
