Paul Hughes can use Conor McGregor’s swift knockout of Jose Aldo as inspiration at PFL Belfast on Saturday night., who believes McGregor’s 13-second KO of Aldo is a good example of a fighter ‘controlling the moment' andThe Irishman’s stock has risen tenfold in the last year, after he proved he can mix it up with the very best in his last fight against PFL lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov.
Ronda Rousey celebrated final UFC win with Jose Aldo before Conor McGregor grude match“That was one of the good examples of McGregor really controlling the moment better than anybody else that's ever stepped in this, especially against “It's kind of unfortunate because of that finish, people don't realise how good Aldo was, but if you followed his career all the way through, it makes McGregor's finish even more impressive." Aldo was undefeated in seven consecutive UFC title bouts before he fought McGregor, and is widely considered the greatest featherweight champion of all time.Ronda Rousey celebrated final UFC win with Jose Aldo before Conor McGregor grude matchJoe Rogan names UFC legend who could beat any lightweight, including Khabib Nurmagomedov " expected Aldo to run onto that punch, but you can't deliver it unless you've got composure.“And if you're in that first round and you can see him attacking you and you're not completely calm, then absolutely he's gonna wipe you out."If he takes one of those low kicks, if he takes a big shot, he's gonna need to engage that composure in order to not lose his own plan and get off track.”that knocked out Aldo before the fight, shadow boxing in the changing room before stepping back and throwing a short, sharp left hook. Hughes will have implemented his own game plan for Muay Thai specialist Miranda, knowing that any mistake could lead to his head bouncing off the canvas.“If I was him, I wouldn't be trying to get a first round finish because that's playing into Bruno's hands," Hardy concluded. “He's the most dangerous in the first round, in my opinion. If the fight keeps going, then he starts to play a longer game. He starts to invest more in the low kicks and stuff. “But that first round is where he's going to be the freshest and he's going to be the most tense and the most excitable, and that's where you get that extra bit of punching power. “The first round for Paul is about presence and control of the center. I think if he gets too excited and opens up, he's playing into Bruno's hands. “If I'm Paul, I'm going to start the first round smart. I'm going to pressure, I'm going to control the centre, but I'm not going to really open up too much. “I want to get him to throw his best shot so I can just cover and get my reads. That really would be the safest thing to do.“Then, that's also another good way of alleviating some of that first round pressure, which he's definitely going to feel. “Even if he doesn't really acknowledge it, it's going to be in his system, and moving in closer to the second round is where he'll make better calculations.” Hughes may feel the pressure on fight night, but he has displayed a striking level of calmness in the build-up to his Belfast homecoming. Should he be victorious, Hughes will rematch Nurmagomedov for the lightweight strap, with that bout likely to take place in September in Dubai.'Not a decision we take lightly' - Premier League club to change iconic crest
