Aoki's column was updated on July 23.
I experienced a lot in this tournament. Even though I couldn't get a result I wanted, I have no regret about my performance because I did my best.
I lost because I was weaker than Hansen. All I can do now is to train hard and to be stronger. I cried after the fight because I knew my fans and supporters, who were looking forward to seeing me winning the tournament, were disappointed. In addition, when my teammates told me that I did my best, more tears came up to my eyes.
I couldn't achieve my goal this time; however, I definitely come back and get a title sometimes soon. I improve myself and I know I can be better fighter. No matter what other people say, I'm the one who represents DREAM!

Aoki lost, but he shouldn't take the loss so harshly. THe fans still respect him.
He spent a tremendous amount of energy in his triangle attempt against Uno. It was a truly beautiful fight, more so than his defeat of JZ, and he has nothing to be ashamed of.
