Iaquinta: I just wish I had more time to prepare

[NandoMoura]

“I just wish I had more time to prepare,” Iaquinta told Newsday on Sunday. “I think it would be a totally different fight. I did the best with what I was given to work with. I guess that’s what I’m happy about.”

He fought like a warrior imo...

 

[Soul On Ice]

This won't end well

 

[ralphus1]

Fair enough. Hope he got paid.

 

[froggyluv]

Eagle the kinda guy you HAVE to devote a whole camp to

 

[Taric]

He fought like a warrior imo...

He survived 25 minutes... That's about the extent of his success.

 

[MikalP]

i mean, if you had more time then khabib had more time.. and if khabib had more time it would have been a lot worse for you

it would also mean you're a real opponent for him and not a last minute replacement who saved his payday.. which means you don't get any free rounds like you did in 2 and 3.

al is a badass, but he has nothing for khabib

 

[true_fan]

U either have it or you don't! Khabib took the same chances too but didn't cry

 

[PlayswellwithLawnDarts]

Al fought his heart out. Ready for him to get paid and quit worrying about real estate.

The dude has a great future in the ufc. I think he would end up in the top 5 if he is active

 

[machidafan99]

Khabib is the type of guy you have to fight more than once to figure out.

 

[Arqueto]

He did well, but he had a full camp and Khabib was in the same boat.

 

[SimonNova]

Great showing there Al, props to you, cant wait to see you back again in the cage.

But remember that a full camp goes both ways.

 

[PlayswellwithLawnDarts]

He survived 25 minutes... That's about the extent of his success.

Spoken like a true cunt

 

[AminoAcid]

I agree.


Full camp Iaquinta gets 50-44ed instead of 50-43ed.

 

[Mo8_98]

you can't prepare for khabib.

 

[Dozer .]

Fuck yea! War Ragin Al!

 

[true_fan]

He fought like a warrior imo...

No he didn't, he just stayed there getting outclassed and Khabib used him for a punching bag!

 

[machidafan99]

Drew Fickett would have finished him

 

[ticho123]

Iaquinta getting time to prepare for this fight is an oxymoron, because the only reason he was even fighting Khabib is because he was a last minute replacement.
