Tybura on the fight’s key moment

Tybura on wanting a step up

“This fight was about proving I still belong in the top 10 and I have so much to offer and I can compete with prospects – two in a row. Very, very talented opponents.”

Tybura on what he wants next

“Right now, it’s a little bit more of the recovery because Mick was a tough guy and made a little bit of damage. My contract with the UFC ended. That was my last fight. So right now I’ll be hoping for a new one. … I fought someone (unranked) last time, too. I earned it (to fight) someone (who will move me up).”
