Den välkända Facebook- och webbsidan ”The Lad Bible” gästades under fredagen av den regerande fjäderviktsmästaren Conor McGregor, som svarade på några av fansens frågor. En av frågorna som Conor fick var hur han hade tränat inför sin kommande match mot Eddie Alvarez, varpå irländaren gav detta svar:
The last fight I trained very specific,” McGregor said in reference to his training camp for the rematch with Nate Diaz at UFC 202. “I went against 6-foot plus southpaws in the middleweight to light heavyweight ranks. That’s who I trained with last fight.
This time we’ve gone back to 5-foot-7 stalky stuffed wrestlers with mediocre boxing. That’s the opponent I’m going up against. We’ve got solid boxers (for this camp), we’ve got solid wrestlers. That is a body type (Eddie’s) that is very easily found. I’ve been facing this opponent, this new opponent this body type, these attacks, I’ve been facing that style my whole life. It’s like a… It’s easy really. It’s a lot better for me. It’s handy. I don’t have to go out and source these taller, bigger. They’ve got to be southpaws also and react certain ways. There’s a million opponents and training partners that replicate this next opponents style.
När Conor fick frågan hur matchen skulle sluta tvekade inte den karismatiske UFC-stjärnan att svara via ett brutalt avslut i början av matchen.
I think my fist is bigger than his head. I think I will plant him with a shot. It’s going to be goodnight. It will be early (the finish) and it will be devastating.
Conor fick även en fråga kring den nya ”trenden” med folk som klär upp sig till clowner för att skrämma okända människor. Irländaren avrådde folk att göra sådana ”pranks” mot honom, då det inte skulle sluta väl för dem.
I would slap the head off of one (clown). You see some guy jumping out screaming in your face dressed in a clown mask? I’d slap the head off him pull the clown mask off and stick it up his ass! You know what I mean? What the f–k even is that? I don’t what the f–k even is that. Have people been killed or what? I haven’t heard that people have been killed. You’ve heard that maybe there’s stabbing and stuff like that but… I don’t know it’s f–ked up! I don’t know it’s f–ked up. Just don’t come near me in a clown suit. In fact, don’t come near me period. Come near me and I’ll slap the head off you anyway. But if you’re in a clown suit I’ll slap the head off you even more so.
