Velasquez: The most important thing is making the fight
Velasquez admitted that he needed to make changes in his training camp to make sure he makes it to fight day, which is the most important thing.
Former UFC heavyweight champion has been criticized by fans and media for pulling out of fights because on injuries and sitting on the sidelines for long periods of time due to them. Speaking to MMAJunkie recently, Velasquez admitted that he needed to make changes in his training camp to make sure he makes it to fight day, which is the most important thing:
Another fight-canceling injury made the former champ realize he couldn’t continue training the same way if he hoped to compete regularly, much less win back the title.
Things change in your body, said Velasquez, whose repeated troubles led to the promotion of Stipe Miocic to No. 1 contender. All the injuries that have happened, the most important thing is making the fight – not just for me, but for the fans also.
I don’t want to be out. I want to be active and I want to fight. That’s what I’m here. This is my job, and I love my job, so I want to do it.
