Fedor and his team backstage after the fight. Although, he was clearly disappointed, he was still very calm. Seems like his entourage was more depressed than he was. Since the fight was very short, I can tell that the adrenaline was still pumping. He would occasionally clinch his fist, as he stood in silence.
