If I won this fight that ...

Hi

From the website about MMA:

“Brock Lesnar is officially retired,” he added. “I promised my wife and my kids if I won this fight that I would get a title shot and that would be my last one, but if I lost tonight ... everyone, you’ve been great.”

Does it mean that he promised his wife and kids that if he won that fight he would have a chance to fight for the championship and if that happened it would be his last fight for the title of the champion?

That sentence is a bit strange to me. Thanks.
