"Sometimes you rise, sometimes you fall. But the main thing is to be able to get back on your feet."
Idman.biz reports that these words belong to Tofiq Musayev, an Azerbaijani MMA fighter.
The 36-year-old athlete shared a post on his social media account. Musayev thanked those who supported him after losing to Myktybek Orolbai (Kyrgyzstan) at the Absolute Fighting Championship (UFC) tournament held in Baku: "Victory was not in the cards this time. Sometimes a person works hard, believes a lot, but life presents us with different trials. This path is not walked alone. My teammates who work with me breath to breath in training grounds day and night, my coaching staff who motivate me every morning - you are not just friends to me, you are a part of this struggle. And your voice... Those calls rising in the arena, the voices of thousands of people calling my name... I heard your support, I felt it. Sometimes we can lose a fight, but it is impossible to lose this love."
He stated that this is not the end: "I will return. Stronger, tougher, more confident. Thank you all."
It should be noted that Musayev lost in the first round of the fight due to a painful technique.
