‘The Tormentor’ said:

“Now, I just feel a little bit sore, you know, on my body. It’s obviously because of the fight. Luckily, there were no big injuries, like bone fractures and stuff, it was just muscles. And I got kicked on the right hip bone, so that felt a little bit funny for a few days. But it’s getting better and better. It was a huge fight. Andrade was unlucky that he couldn’t put me down with any injury.”
