Makwan Amirkhani Defeated in the UFC ring Jack Shore has lived the last few months in a really difficult time.
Shore, 28, said in a ring interview that his father has been seriously ill. Still, the man was there on Saturday to support his son in his corner.
– Let me tell you something about my father. In November 2022, he was diagnosed with cancer. Two weeks ago, he finished chemotherapy, Shore said.
The father cried as the cameras turned on him.
After the first round of the match, the father had told his son that he must use kicks to defeat Amirkhan. In the second batch, the instructions produced results.
– If he advises me to do something, I will do it, Shore said.
Amirkhani is known as a skilled wrestler, but this time he lost the match on the mat. Shore took the choke win in the second round.
Once again, the Finn’s fitness ended very badly, and Shore took advantage of the exhaustion.
– I felt like I was a better wrestler. I knew that when Amirkhani got tired, I would get him on the mat. My jujutsu is a match for anyone, the Welshman advertised.
