Jose Ochoa scored a decisive decision victory over Clayton Carpenter at UFC 328 on Saturday night, and he not only walked out with a victory, but a life-long commitment as well.
“I’m very happy with my performance, for this victory. I was sure we would win,” Ochoa told reporters including Cageside Press at his post-fight scrum.
“Even more I’m very happy to be able to dedicate this win to my father, my team, and my entire family.”
Ochoa (9-2) put together a striking masterpiece against Carpenter who badly wanted the takedown, but wasn’t able to secure anything. Ochoa knew he was well-prepared for this fight.
“I’m happy with everything that I did in there. I wasn’t surprised by anything that happened in there. In fact, I thought I was going to get the knockout,” he said.
“But we went the 15 minutes and I was prepared for that as well.”
Following the bout Ochoa used his post-fight interview to propose to the mother of his child back in Brazil. Word traveled fast and he got his answer in the locker room.
“It’s obvious that she said yes,” he said with a smile.
“She was just waiting for me to ask.”
