Eddie Alvarez megtörte a csendet: 'vissza fogok térni a régi formámba!'

Mint azt megírtuk nektek, a UFC és a Bellator egykori könnyűsúlyú bajnoka csúnyán elhasalt a ONE-nál, miután Timofey Nastyukhin az első menetben mattolta egy TKO-val, és csak most, pár nappal a gála után törte meg a médiacsendet.

Hey guys First and foremost congrats to Timofey in his victory , He is very deserving of everything that comes with victory and I wish him the best in the continued tournament . Honestly speaking how I fought my One Championship debut is not a reflection of my training my coaches , my team , it’s not even a reflection of my beliefs . I am sincerely disappointed and confused in my inability to not pull the trigger and my hesitancy on recent fight nights , it’s been quite confusing to figure out the past year or so . Coach Mark always stresses “hesitancy is Death” and it’s not something that is even in my character to do . In this particular fight I waited too long for an opening and paid the ultimate price . The punch that hit me , instantly blinded me and split both eyelids in half . It felt like my eye exploded from the inside and the pain was instant . From an outsider watching myself I should of have expected the result considering my actions . You have to punch , kick , takedown and pressure to win a fight , I waited . I simply waited too long for the correct timing and opening that never came . Fighting continues to teach me life lessons thru my victories and even more through tough defeats . Victory and defeat are by products of putting it on the line , they have been inescapable throughout my whole life . I hope to be judged on how I adjust and pivot from defeat and behave in victory rather than the result of a small moment in time . To my Wife /kids family , coaches , teams mates , friends and to all the fans , thank you always for your continued support , doing this is very lonely and isolated , a simple pat on the back goes a long long way . Thank you thank you thank you . I will make adjustments and come back true to form 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 #UGK

Az “Underground Király” sportszerűen gratulált elgyőzőjének, és azt mondta, ő maga is meglepődött azon, mennyire nem volt formában. Hezitált, amikor mindent bele kellett volna adnia, és nem csak ezen a meccsen, hanem az "utóbbiakon".

Ahogy a poszt második képe is tanúskodik róla (18+, én szóltam...), Nastyukhin olyan kurva keményen megsorozta őt, hogy "mindkét szemhéja félbe szakadt. Rajonóinak megígérte, hogy változtat a nem működő dolgokon, és újra a régi formájába kerül, amivel megnyerte a UFC-nél is az övet RDA legyőzésével.
