Jared Cannonier har uttalat sig efter segern vid UFC Vegas 66 mot Sean Strickland.
Jared Cannonier anser att han vann helgens match rättmätigt
Cannonier och Strickland drabbade samman i lördags i UFC Apex i Las Vegas, Nevada. Femrondaren gick tiden ut och Cannonier tilldelades segern via delat domslut. Det var ett resultat som förloraren Strickland ifrågasatte då denne kände sig rånad.
Vid post-fight presskonferensen för UFC Vegas 66 uttryckte Cannonier sin åsikt att domarna dömde rätt när de gav honom segern:
I definitely thought I won at least three of the five rounds. I felt confident that I won three out of five rounds. On top of that, I felt confident that I won the fight in general.
Cannonier förklarade sedan sin taktik att neutralisera Stricklands game plan som han ansåg lyckades:
I would say he’s good at what he does. He’s really good at moving forward, putting that jab out there, and then getting out of the way. If I gave him the look like, ‘Here I come,’ he was already aware, primed, and either ready to counter with his check hook or whatever combination he was going to throw or just move away and avoid it all together. But that was one thing we had been working on leading up to the [Israel] Adesanya fight, entering on our opponents without getting overextended, and once you get in, then you can start opening up with the big strikes that I love so much.
