Juan Adams apologized on Twitter Saturday night for his behavior after his loss to Greg Hardy at UFC San Antonio.
Adams lost when the fight was called 45 seconds into the first round due to a barrage of punches Hardy was landing. Adams was so upset with his TKO defeat that he threw his mouthpiece and exited the cage before the decision was read.

Adams recognized his poor sportsmanship and sent a tweet shortly after the fight to apologize.
I apologize to the ufc and to the fans for the way i acted after the fight. I let my emotions get the better of me and i acted horribly. To everyone present and watching at home i truly apologize. I took a few to the head and was caught up in the moment.

His behavior and fight performance both were poor, but credit to him for recognizing it and apologizing. The question is whether that will be enough to keep him in the UFC for long. He’s lost two of his three fights in the UFC and is 5-2 overall as a pro.
