Heavyweight boxing superstar Tyson Fury has shared his thoughts on why Conor McGregor came up short against Dustin Poirier at UFC 257.<\/p>\n

After being stopped by a volley of strikes in the second round of his UFC 257 fight with Poirier, McGregor was quick to blame his prolonged stretches of inactivity for his performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, its hard to overcome inactivity,” McGregor said<\/a> in his post-fight interview with commentator Jon Anil. Especially over long periods of time. His leg kicks were good. That low calf kick was very good. My leg was dead and then I just wasn\u2019t as comfortable as I needed to be. I mean its inactivity and that is it. Dustin is some fighter though. If you don\u2019t put in the time in here (Octagon), you\u2019re going to get cold in here. I have to dust it off and come back and that\u2019s what I will do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fury, who has endured some lengthy layoffs himself, agrees that inactivity was likely a big factor in the McGregor’s loss to Poirier.<\/p>\n

\u201c[McGregor\u2019s] bang on right,\u201d Fury told Gareth A. Davies<\/a> (via The Mac Life<\/a>). \u201cConor McGregor fought in 2016, then he had two years out and then he fought Khabib [Nurmagomedov in 2018]. Then he had another two years out, and then he fought [Donald] Cerrone [in January 2020]. Then he had another year out, and then he fought this guy, Poirier.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo inactivity kills the cat, no doubt about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fury then shed some light on the kinds of problems fighters can run into when they don’t compete regularly.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou lose your timing, you lose your distance, you lose it all,\u201d Fury explained. \u201cYou lose it all, it\u2019s all gotta be gained back within camps and within fighting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you had three fights on the bounce after you\u2019d never been in the ring for three years, in the third one you\u2019d be ten times better than the first. I\u2019ve always known it. Because I\u2019m a boxing historian I\u2019ve always known about the inactivity.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you think of these comments from Tyson Fury? Do you think Conor McGregor would benefit from a busier scheduled of competition?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
