Heavyweight Thomas Petersen, after a tough previous bout, approached UFC Des Moines with a disciplined strategy and respect for his opponent's skills. Acknowledging the importance of responsibility as a family man, he balanced his competitive nature with the reality of needing to perform consistently. Though his fight against Don'Tale Mayes lacked the excitement of a brawl, Petersen expressed enthusiasm for the sport and the highs it offers. He aims to climb the rankings in the heavyweight division while staying committed to his family's well-being.
"That was a hard lesson I had to learn, and I never want to do that again. I have to be disciplined. The more disciplined guy usually wins."
"There's nothing better than just going out there and letting them fly. This sport is a high, man; it's like gambling, when you roll the dice."
