Sodiq Yusuff won’t dwell on his loss to Edson Barboza at UFC Fight Night 230 for too long.

The two featherweights engaged in an entertaining five-round bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday night. While Yusuff started quickly, Barboza ultimately pulled away for a unanimous decision triumph in a clash that was an easy selection for “Fight of the Night.”

Neither fighter was present at the post-fight press conference, but they did share a hospital space together after the bout. Yusuff, who suffered just his second defeat in eight UFC outings, took some time to reflect on the loss from his hospital bed in a video on his YouTube channel.
