Wang Cong has released her first statement since suffering her first MMA defeat at the hands of Gabriella Fernandes at UFC Macau.

Cong entered the fight as a near -1000 favorite. She had an undefeated 6-0 record and an extensive kickboxing career, including a victory over current flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko.

'The Joker' was expected to run through Fernandes with relative ease, and this was the case until she ran into a head kick in the second round, suffering a knockdown and being choked unconscious by her +625 opponent.
