Despite win, UFC 114’s Cyrille Diabate sees too many mistakes in performance

Cyrille Diabate sat in the UFC media center and got instant feedback on his performance as the big-screen TV replayed his UFC 114 fight with Luiz Cane.

Diabate, who hails from Paris, sat stone-faced as the fight played out, and he didn’t say much when it was over.

Diabate survived a flash knockout in the fight’s opening moments but managed to recover and light up the Brazilian with a flurry of punches that won him a first-round TKO. But he saw plenty wrong with his performance.
