Former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez took to Instagram to give his thoughts on the loss to Conor McGregor at UFC 205 in New York City.
Alvarez, who felt confident in the match up against McGregor before the fight, said he “f**king blew it” on fight night.
“I did nothing I trained,” Alvarez said in his post. “I did the complete opposite of what we planned on a daily basis for 10 weeks. To sum up our plan in a sentence it was: „Go left and mostly wrestle.“ Instead I circled into his left hand and mostly boxed.”
Alvarez is taking comfort in his family during this time of disappointment. But “The Underground King” vowed to be back to make the walk once again.
