Elias Theodorou breaks his silence on the latest defeat in his pro-MMA career that took place over the weekend.

Theodorou suffered a unanimous decision loss to Derek Brunson at UFC Ottawa (also known as UFC on ESPN+9) on Saturday night (May 4, 2019) at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, on ESPN+.

This was an important fight for the rising contender as a win over Brunson in his home country of Canada would allow him to jump up in the rankings in the middleweight division. That wasn’t meant to be. The loss snaps Theodorou’s three-fight winning streak.

Now, it’s back to the drawing board for this contender. Theodorou took to his official Instagram account to reflect on this bout. He wrote the following:

“You either win or you learn. Wasn’t my night tonight, but honored to have my team by my side in victory and defeat. We’ll be back with much to learn. Nothing but respect to Derek, he was the better man tonight.”

It will be interesting to see where he goes from here and who he’ll fight next inside of the Octagon. That will be determined based on how long he is medically suspended, when he wants to fight next, and what the Las Vegas-based promotion has in store for him next.

Elias Theodorou plans to give a teaching lesson to Derek Brunson, who is his next opponent inside of the Octagon.

Theodorou is slated to meet Brunson in a middleweight bout at the upcoming UFC Ottawa (also known as UFC on ESPN+9) event. While doing a recent interview, Theodorou made it known that he thinks it’s a matchup that favors his approach inside of the cage.

“In many ways, I think our styles couldn’t be more opposite,” Theodorou told reporters (h/t MMA Junkie). “He’s someone who’s aggressive right off the bat, where I’m more cerebral and look to find ways to win. He lives by the sword and dies by the sword, and it’s probably going to be a tough first 10, five minutes. But, from then, I’m going to show him the difference between chess and checkers.”

This is an important fight for the rising contender as a win over Brunson this weekend in his home country of Canada would allow him to jump up in the rankings in the middleweight division.

Theodorou still feels like his opponent is a predictable one and this is something that he can pick apart.

“I think if you look at one Derek Brunson fight, you’ve seen them all,” Theodorou said. ”He, in a previous life, was a sprinter, in high school and college, and I think that obviously translates. But I’m going to show him the difference between a sprint and a marathon.”

This event is set to take place on Saturday, May 4, 2019, at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The main card will air on ESPN+ at 8 PM ET. The preliminary card will air on ESPN+ at 5 PM ET.
