McGregor na Instagramu objavio svoju analizu meča protiv Khabiba i ponovo se našao u centru pažnje

Irski borac je svojim fanovima odlučio otkriti kako je on vidio borbu protiv Khabiba i poraz za titulu lake kategorije UFC-a. On je svaku rundu odlučio analizirati, te je poručio da je meč u Las Vegasu odlučio samo jedan udarac.

"Prva runda je bila njegova. Imao je gornju poziciju uz kavez, nije nanio neku štetu, ali je bio u gornjoj poziciji. Ako gledamo borilačku stranu onda je to moja runda. Pogodio sam svoje udarce i pokazao želju za napadom. Pogodio sam ga lijevim direktom i koljenom u glavu, a on mi je samo držao noge uz ogradu u cijeloj prvoj rundi. Što se tiče druge runde počeo je bježati po kavezu, a onda se desio taj udarac desnom rukom. On je promijenio tok borbe i bio je to dobar udarac s njegove strane. Pokušao sam uzvratiti, ali mi nije dozvoljavao. Taj udarac mu je donio dominantnu rundu", napisao je McGregor, te nastavio:

"Druga runda je bila nagora u mojoj karijeri, ali u trećoj rundi sam se vratio i uspio sam ga kontrolisati. On je tada pokazao da ima želju da napadne, no uspio sam to zaustaviti. U četvrtoj moj oporavak nije bio kakav je trebao biti i krivim sebe za to. Nadmašio sam ga u nekim razmjenama udaraca, ali je opet ušao ispod mene i završio sam u lošoj poziciji. Htio sam se vratiti, ali sam završio na leđima uz ogradu kaveza. Kritična greška je bila što sam mu ostavio svoju gornju ruku u baš tom trenutku. Prepustio sam mu svoja leđa i pošteno sam prebijen. Nemam više šta reći. To je bila odlična borca i vraćam se pun samopouzdanja ii potpuno spreman. Nije problem ako odmah ne dobijem revanš jer sam spreman da se borim protiv narednog protivnika".

Thoughts on my last fight. Round 1. I believe from a sport standpoint, round 1 was his. Top position against the fence. Zero position advancement or damage inflicted. But top position. From a fight standpoint the first round is mine. Actual shots landed and a willingness to engage. Straight left early. Knee to the head on the low shot. Elbows in any and all tie up scenarios. Opponent just holding the legs against the fence for almost the entire round. Round 2 he is running away around the cage before being blessed with a right hand that changed the course of the round, and the fight. It was a nice shot. After the shot I bounced back up to engage instantly, but again he dipped under to disengage. That is the sport and it was a smart move that led to a dominant round, so no issue. Well played. If I stay switched on and give his stand up even a little more respect, that right hand never gets close and we are talking completely different now. I gave his upright fighting no respect in preparation. No specific stand up spars whatsoever. Attacking grapplers/wrestlers only. That won’t happen again. I also gave my attacking grappling no respect. To defense minded. Lessons. Listen to nobody but yourself on your skill set. You are the master of your own universe. I am the master of this. I must take my own advice. Round 3. After the worst round of my fighting career, I come back and win this round. Again walking forward, walking him down, and willing to engage. Round 4. My recovery was not where it could have been here. That is my fault. Although winning the early exchanges in 4, he dips under again and I end up in a bad position with over 3 on the clock. I work to regain position and end up upright, with my back to the fence. A stable position. Here however, I made a critical error of abandoning my over hook at this crucial time, exposing the back, and I end up beaten fair and square. What can I say? It was a great fight and it was my pleasure. I will be back with my confidence high. Fully prepared. If it is not the rematch right away, no problem. I will face the next in line. It’s all me always, anyway. See you soon my fighting fans I love you all ❤
