Conor McGregor är inte den som säger nej till en utmaning. När han och Game of Thrones-stjärnan ”The Mountain”, en två meter och nästan 200 kilos tung strongman, sparrades trodde många att spektaklet var en leksak rond mellan två vänner. Raka motsatsen säger McGregor som påstår sig ha ”sänkt” Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson.
Det var under en medialunch i Los Angeles inför helgens UFC 194 som Conor McGregor (18-2) delade med sig av vad som veklingen pågick de två emellan. Åtminstone ur irländarens perspektiv…
“It was a lot of fun. That’s a big man – 6-foot-9, 400 pounds, and I still folded him up. I was hitting him with some shots – I had to hit him with some shots. He was trying to hit me, as well. People say, ‘He was taking it easy.’ He tried to grab me and tried to pull my head off and I defended – freed the head. I was like, this motherfucker is so big, I have to start smacking him to the body. … But I sunk him good. Not even a ‘Mountain’ can take these shots from me.”
