In a close-contact defensive guns environment get into the vertical before loosing all excess energy, and if you continue to turn don't get so slow that there are few options remaining.
You were too slow.

If there is any doubt that you have forced a fly through never reverse. Consider an early vertical, rolling, scissors manoeuvre as an alternative.
You reversed.

No wonder that you dived into an adjacent 'humbly' CB, and then continued a northerly tail chase around the bubbling clouds.
You will have to repeat the excersise as soon as possible, and consider dissimilar aircraft types for opposition.

With age comes weakening eyesight as might degraded recognition skills, but were you really flying Mig 29s?

Ahh WIWOL
I assume that you meant ‘losing’.... 😉
