Former UFC Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez recently described what it was like when he lost his title to Conor McGregor back in November.
Alvarez talked about fighting McGregor in a recent interview with Luke Thomas on his radio show.
“There is a freedom in having your worst nightmare come true,” Alvarez said about his fight with McGregor.
“I got punched pretty hard one minute into the fight. There isn’t anything to make sense of. I feel like a lot of people, fans and media, try to make sense of the whole thing. It’d be the same as a guy living a great life walks across the street and gets hit by a bus. Now, let’s make sense of that. Why did he get hit by the bus? It’s foolish!”
Alvarez plans to rebound from his loss to McGregor at UFC 211. On Saturday, Alvarez will fight lightweight contender Dustin Poirier in Dallas, Texas.
