On the end of the fight: "It seems to me, yes (it was stopped early). It seems to me objectively, I was ready to continue fighting."
On a potential rematch: "We'll see. It just seems a lot of potential rematches have built up the last few fights."
On his future: "I can't really say. I have to sit down with my manager Vadim (Finkelstein) and see what kind of offers and opportunities we've got."
On what's next for him: "Right now, what I'd like to do is return home to Russia to see my newborn daughter. She was just born, and I'm very fortunate for this gift in my life. With respect to MMA, I just have to think about it and decide what I'm going to do in the future. My entire adult life and young life, all I've known is training and fighting and competing. That's something that I very much love continue doing, and I'd still like for that to be a large part of my life. But today, my life, what's first is my faith and my religion, and then my family. That's what I live for. ... My job and what I do for work is secondary behind those two things."
Good to hear that his family and personal beliefs are his top priorities, and fighting is second to those two things.
