In the world of mixed martial arts, defeat is usually lonely and cruel. However, what happened after Ago Huskic’s fight has redefined what we expect from a post-fight interview.
Thanks to reporter Sallie Grace’s sensitivity, today millions of people are talking about resilience and not a scoreline.
Instead of asking about the failed strategy, Sallie looked him in the eyes and delivered a series of “lines” that are already social media history.
The golden phrase: “Keep your head held high, don’t let the crown fall. Leave here knowing what you have to do and come back.”
The fighter, who seconds earlier had a lost look in his eyes, ended up deeply grateful for the gesture: “I needed that,” he confessed, moved.
