José Aldos tränare Andre Pederneiras om matchen mot Max Holloway: ”han kämpade med en benskada hela träningslägret”

Efter titelmatchen mot Max Holloway har nu tränare för José Aldo, Andre Pederneiras, uppdagat att Aldo drogs med en benskada under hela träningslägret för UFC 212. Det skall varit en stor bidragande faktor till att Aldo inte använde bensparkar på samma sätt som i tidigare matcher. Genom FOX Fight Club sade Pederneieras följande.

Many people ask why he didn’t throw kicks – Aldo had a leg injury, so he couldn’t do any kicking throughout the camp; he couldn’t run, do any of that. Not that it takes away from Max Holloway and his win – we’re not saying that at all – but many people asked why he didn’t kick.

It’s funny, because every round, I’d step down (from the octagon) and the crowd would be like, ‘Tell him to kick!’ and I’d say, ‘OK, hang on’ and I’d turn around and only us in the corner knew. We were really avoiding the kicks because of this injury. We were afraid (the muscle) would tear there.

So we spent the entire camp working on boxing, takedowns and the ground. Since Aldo felt good in the first two rounds with the boxing – he won the first two – he said he’d keep it going there until a point in which he could take (Holloway) down, without worrying too much about taking him down then. But then a punch landed, and then it all fell apart

Enligt Pederneiras ville Aldo verkligen inte dra sig ur matchen mot Holloway, mycket på grund av den inställda matchen mot Conor McGregor som skulle skett under UFC 189. En match som ställdes in på grund av en skada Aldo ådragit sig i revbena.

Could he do boxing practice? Yes. Could he do wrestling practice? Yes. Could he do ground practice? Yes – Andre Pederneiras. But, for instance, when he kicked, or defended a takedown in which he put a lot of strain in the leg, he felt it a lot. So we adapted it, and he was able to train. Even though we didn’t get him to throw kicks, or do sprints – we opted to do other types of work to make up for that. And he was able to maintain and carry on.

In the final week, we did some kicking, but we didn’t force it too much because it was too last minute and also it wouldn’t be that useful. And we believed that, the way he was going, that he’d be able to win the fight with his boxing. And that’s what was happening.

Strategin tycktes fungera för Aldo fram till rond tre där brassen enligt domarfacit hade vunnit både rond ett och två. Dock tog det stopp i rond tre då Holloway lyckades avsluta Aldo genom teknisk knockout.
