Jarred Brooks isn’t exactly devastated after suffering the first loss of his professional mixed martial arts (MMA) career.
Brooks fell short in a split decision loss to Deiveson Figueiredo last month. Going into the fight, Brooks had a record of 13-0. Figueiredo remains unbeaten.
Speaking to MMAJunkie.com, Brooks said he won’t dwell on the defeat:
“Everyone’s like, ‘Oh, this undefeated thing,’ and it’s not a big deal. I don’t really care if I take a loss. I’m still looking down the road, and I’m still looking at a UFC belt. If I take losses on the way to the UFC belt, that’s my learning process.”
