BJ: “There was definitely room for strength and conditioning type of improvement in it. We did tons of running but we kind of over reached ourselves a little bit so we had to do some extra recovery. If that hadn’t of happened we could have done some strength and conditioning but those are things that happened and that’s part of the game and you have to go in there with the best that you’ve got."
Translation- Half way into training I thought "hey it's me I can just take a long break and still have enough gas to go five rounds right"
BJ: "As far as the fight itself, I think Nick and Cesar had a good gameplan,
they used the typical big man push you against the fence and tire you out gameplan. That kind of threw me for a surprise because I saw one of his interviews and
he had said he was going to really fight me and I thought we were going to go out there and trade Jiu Jitsu techniques and boxing techniques but a portion of the first and second rounds we were stuck on the fence trying to get away from him. People said he was grabbing the fence or whatever but who cares no biggie, I was just surprised we were stuck on the fence at all.
He wanted to use his weight on a guy who is 20 pounds smaller I guess. Hats off to him though, he is a good fighter and he took the decision."
OK that paragraph is just embarrassing1. Nick did fight you and he beat you standing, maybe it was because you gassed but don't pretend that him putting you on the cage for what little time they did spend on the cage is the reason you gassed you gassed cause you didn't commit yourself to having cardio for this fight.
2.Nick puts eveybody he fights on the cage BJ I thought you said you loved watching his fights?
3.Nick beat you at your style of fighting, I want to believe that you would have won with cardio but that remains to be seen.
I feel like BJ should've waited longer before doing any interviews cause the loss obviously still hurts, also can't expect BJ to be all buddy buddy with a guy who was all in his trainers face at the end of their fight for no damn reason, even though imo Nick was just amped that he won and in his haste to call GSP a bitch BJ's crew were victim to his overhypedness but I still don't like how my favorite fighter answered some of these questions.
