Olivier Aubin-Mercier: ‘I Don’t Know What's Going To Happen Next’ After UFC 240 Loss

Olivier Aubin-Mercier suffered his third loss in a row at UFC 240, where he dropped a unanimous decision to Arman Tsarukyan.

That defeat comes on the heels of setbacks to Gilbert Burns and Alexander Hernandez. Following his latest loss, “The Canadian Gangster” took to Instagram to release a statement on the fight. Aubin-Mercier admitted that his future in the Las Vegas-based promotion is uncertain, but even his release would not spell the end of his career.

“The only thing I know is that I’m not done,” he wrote. “I will be back.”

Won't lie, im hearthbroken. 3 consecutive L is not great, when you try to be the best in the world. I was more than ready and was better than ever, @arm_011 was simply the better man. I dont know what's going to happen next. The only thing I know is that i'm not done. I will be back. I still think i'm getting better everyday, I'm healthy and I still have the passion to fight. I love my life and I'm proud of what I accomplished so far, this is just a pretty big bump in my career. I would like to thank my coaches @firas_zahabi @h2omma @levis.dlabrie @ryanortizo_onelegwonder @myologik_performance @georgesstpierre And I would like to thank you guys for the support. I love you all. Ciao. / Je ne vais pas mentir, j'ai le coeur brisé. 3 défaites de suite lorsque tu veux devenir le meilleur au monde, c'est pas bon. J'étais plus que prêt et j'étais meilleur que jamais. @arm_011 a simplement été le meilleur athlète. Je ne sais pas ce qui va arriver par la suite. La seule chose que je sais, c'est que je ne suis pas fini. Je vais revenir. Je crois que je m'améliore à chaque jour, je suis en santé et j'ai encore la passion. J'aime ma vie et je suis fier de ce que j'ai accompli. Ceci est juste un gros "nid de poule" dans ma carrière. J'aimerais remercier mes coachs @firas_zahabi @h2omma @levis.dlabrie @ryanortizo_onelegwonder @myologik_performance @georgesstpierre Et j'aimerais vous remercier pour votre support. Je vous aime tous. Ciao.

Aubin-Mercier is still a fan favorite in Canada, but whether or not he gets another UFC fight is to be seen. “The Canadian Gangster” had a ton of success early on his UFC career with victories in seven of his first nine bouts but has been outmatched in his last three fights.
