SINGAPORE – Danaa Batgerel didn’t have a hard time getting over his loss to Chris Gutierrez . Batgerel (12-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) saw his three-fight winning streak snapped by Gutierrez in his past outing at UFC on ESPN 33 in March, and although it was a tough pill to swallow, his opponent’s post-fight speech put things into perspective. An emotional Gutierrez dedicated his win to his sick mother, who is battling cancer, and that made Batgerel a lot more accepting of his setback. “Of course, right after the loss I was upset rightfully so,” Batgerel told MMA Junkie. “But after listening to Chris Gutierrez’s post-fight interview where he mentioned that his mother was ill and everything, I felt like my opponent needed the victory more than me, and it made me feel a little better. “But from a loss standpoint, it’s always a learning experience, and I grew and learned a lot from that fight, and I’m looking forward to getting back in the win column.” Despite the momentary halt in his momentum, Batgerel’s confidence hasn’t wavered.
