Conor McGregor förlorade tidigare mot Nate Diaz under UFC 196 i mars och kommer nu att gå ett nytt möte i deras returmatch under 202. McGregor hävdar att förlusten under förra matchen beror på att han var övertränad.
McGregor fokuserar nu mer på fighting än gymnastik och rörelseträning.
Det här berättade McGregor via ”MMAJunkie”:
I’m working my nuts off for this rematch. The reason why we don’t pay too much attention to the opponent is because they always pull out, but I know Nate is going to show up.
We know we’re going to be facing a tall, lanky southpaw with a decent lead hand. Now I’ve brought in tall, lanky southpaws with a solid lead hand and other guys with strong jiu-jitsu credentials, and John is overseeing the whole thing.
I was over-trained, my diet wasn’t good, and it came back and bite me in the ass. I’m staying on my nutrition. I’m very fight-orientated. I’m not swinging out of gymnastic rings too much, and I certainly won’t be doing it the week of the fight.
To see the way that last fight happened, I can’t live with it. I need to isolate myself and come back and get my revenge.
