William Knight’s performance at UFC Fight Night 219 was memorable for all the wrong reasons.
The heavily-muscled light heavyweight attempted just 33 significant strikes — landing eight — while being picked apart at range byin a unanimous decision defeat on Saturday night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. For the majority of the bout, Knight was simply unwilling to engage, and that allowed Prachnio to control the distance, most notably with a steady diet of low kicks.
“At the end of the day, I went out there, froze up, I didn’t do my part, I lost the fight,” Knight said. “Some of y’all want me to win, some of y’all bet on me, I understand. I completely get it. In life, human beings aren’t perfect, but I’m taking ownership of my actions because I didn’t do s—t. I stood there, I froze, and I take full responsibility.”
“I know what I must do for my next fight,” Knight said. “I understand this crazy inbox of threats, all of these inboxes of disrespect — I get it. Y’all have a right to be angry. I read some messages [of people] threatening my life, talking crazy, saying I don’t belong in the UFC, all of that stuff, but when I was undefeated for three years, you were riding the wave.
