Lyman Good entered UFC on ESPN 11 with a heavy heart. After it was all over, he admitted it was too heavy.

Good, who returned to action after a recent bout with COVID-19, revealed during fight week that his father recently died, and he was forthcoming about wanting to get a victory to honor his memory on the eve of Father’s Day.

Unfortunately for Good, he came up short, as he lost a close unanimous decision to Belal Muhammad by three scores of 29-28 Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Afterward, Good issued a statement on Twitter explaining that he just wasn’t completely into the fight.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t get the win tonight,” Good said. “Tried to honor my father but my heart wasn’t in the cage with me.”

I’m sorry I couldn’t get the win tonight. Tried to honor my father but my heart wasn’t in the cage with me. Congratulations to @bullyb170 for his win and sharing the cage with me tonight. Good luck to my brother @HurricaneShaneB tonight!!!

The result means that Good has alternated losses and wins in last five fights, pushing his UFC record to 3-3.

Good (21-6 MMA, 3-3 UFC), who lives and trains in New York, originally was expected to face Muhammad (17-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) on April 18 at UFC 249. However, two weeks before the event, Good was forced to withdraw. He later revealed himself as the first UFC fighter to test positive for the novel coronavirus.
