Only time stands in between the clash of two champions, Conor McGregor is set to face featherweight champ Jose “Scarface<\/a>” Aldo in the main event at UFC 194 in Las Vegas NV. With all the pre fight hype in full force, McGregor gives his view on former champ Ronda Rousey’s UFC 193 loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I was going to take something away from Ronda is \u2013 maybe just push everything away,\u201d he told mmajunkie<\/a> \u201cI can\u2019t really see her situation. I don\u2019t know her situation. From looking from where I was at, I could see that maybe she\u2019d done a little too much on the media side. McGregor continued to say, That, coupled with a personal life that I know nothing about, could have hampered her training a little bit. Maybe could have hampered her mind. And then the particular style of opponent in Holly could have maybe combined into making her a little too emotionally invested.” McGregor said.
\nMcGregor<\/a> pointing out her overwhelming schedule of the former champ and a variety of uncontrollable variables that played a role in the stunning defeat. With all the chaos that surrounds a high profile fight, McGregor maintains his point on the aspects you can controll.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to still the mind. Calm it. Make everything smaller than it is. That\u2019s mainly what I would take from that.\u201d
\n“She had a lot on her plate and it showed in the contest,\u201d he said. \u201cHolly came out of the dark \u2013 in the shadows \u2013 and that can help a person. Have you ever seen \u2018Rocky 3?\u2019 Rocky was doing ads and doing talk shows and doing this and doing that while Clubber Lang was coming up in the shadows, hungry. I felt maybe that was a reference to that fight.
\n\u201cI\u2019m like Rocky,\u201d he said. \u201cI have it all, I do it all. But then I\u2019m still training like Clubber. I\u2019m still putting in that Clubber Lang work. I\u2019m still grinding and still hungry. I think I\u2019m right in a nice little balance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being a champion in the UFC and what we see is simply the tip of the iceberg. \u00a0It’s more than training, cutting weight, saunas and fights. \u00a0The UFC champs are ambassadors to MMA and hold a higher obligation to their division. When your at this level in the fight game so much is depended on your mental approach. What are your thoughts on McGregor’s comments?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
