Former UFC Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez recently talked about what it was like fighting UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor.
Last November, at UFC 205, Alvarez lost his UFC title after being knocked out by McGregor. Alvarez talked about his experience during an interview on The Luke Thomas 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!”
Since losing his title, Alvarez fought Dustin Poirier in May at UFC 211. The fight ended in a no contest after Alvarez accidentally landed multiple illegal knees to Poirier’s head while he was on the ground.
