"McGregor did his thing in his 13-second performance," Thurman said. "He obviously, and I haven't watched a lot of him but hearing what I've heard about him, with his boxing background, it was kind of apparent with his step back check hook that night of the fight.
"I was not impressed with Aldo jumping in and putting his chin so far out on the 1-2 that was exposed and that McGregor caught him with."In fights that are so short, there's not a lot to talk about but, really, that was the ultimate mistake that he should have understood that he was going up against someone with a boxing background and he should not have lunged in from the start of the match. "McGregor saw the lunge, he saw the attack, he countered it, he went down from having so much forward momentum and then he went into the ground-and-pound which is a part of UFC and it was instantly stopped, which I agree with. "It was obvious that Aldo was not unconscious at the point but he was in such a horrible position and if you truly want to win a fight, you will not allow yourself to be in that position. "McGregor, going into the ring, his confidence... his charisma. He seems very athletic even though he was only able to show a portion of that. He's definitely an entertaining person in the sport and the fight game in general." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNQYW984Oys
