Conor McGregor’s post-fight analysis offers deep insight into fighter’s mind
By Stephen Barry
Conor McGregor is a man obsessed, but not just by belts or money.
McGregor also values the deeper art of the fight.
McGregor studies how wild creatures attack their prey in the wild and has now offered an analysis of the moment his UFC Featherweight Championship bout with Jose Aldo was called off.
McGregor ignores the prone Aldo and assumes the referee, John McCarthy, as a second attacker in this thought – one he is ready to immobilise.
“Most will see 1 unconscious man here,” wrote McGregor on Instagram.
“I see a clean get up about to happen in a fight against multiple attackers.
“Hips away, strong frame with the left hand, right hand post on the mat with bottom leg free for a clean get up.
“If Big John was a second attacker, he is in trouble. I am a split second away from being back to my feet here.
“With his outstretched, forward reaching pressure, and his torso separated from his hips, Big John is ending up face down after the get up.
“Two or three quick cracks to his temple and I make my escape clean.
“Two attackers immobilized.
“What's up Las Vegas.”
