He then gave some insight into the injury.
"Unfortunately, at the beginning of the first round during the fight in the clinch, I injured my knee and the referee stopped the fight," he tweeted. "Regardless of the bad outcome, this was really an invaluable experience, but it remains a great pity that I was not able to show any of the things we worked on. Move on."
Christian Leroy Duncan earned the victory at UFC 286.
