He said aside from two busted coverage

Conor McGregors camp have finally broken their silence after the Irishman was stripped of the UFC featherweight title.The promotion took away the 28-year-olds 145-pound belt just two weeks after he beat Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight title at Madison Square Garden, where he became the UFCs first fighter to simultaneously hold championships in two weight divisions.For me personally, [I was] very disappointed by how they went about doing it, coach John Kavanagh, who has trained McGregor for 11 years, told Cork-based radio show RedFM.?They lost a main event, and then they haphazardly threw together a new main event, and they felt they had to make this for a title in order for it to sell, So they brought in another interim title that Jose Aldo already has, then bumped Jose Aldo up, which just seems ridiculous to me.The decision came after Daniel Cormier pulled out injured from an upcoming light heavyweight title defense against Anthony Johnson at UFC 206 in Toronto.Conors only 11 months since he won that title, and theres been many, many examples of fighters waiting 15, 18 months before defending it. Hes 11 months, and they stripped him of it, added Kavanagh. I thought it was very shortsighted by the UFC in how they went about doing it.McGregors camp could point to Anthony Pettis winning the lightweight title in August 2013 but not defending it until December 2014, or the 19 months Georges St-Pierre held the welterweight title after a knee injury.However, with his girlfriend, Dee Devlin, expecting their first child in May, McGregor is set to take some time away from the Octagon.Kavanagh said the 28-year-old is weighing up his next career move and admitted that it could be the much-touted superfight in a boxing ring against undefeated Floyd Mayweather.[Mayweather is] 49-0, he added. Im sure he wants that 50th fight. Its a nice number. Right now, ask the average guy on the street, who do you want to see Mayweather fight, what fights going to get the most interest, and it would be a superfight with Conor. Certainly stranger things have happened in combat sports than a Mayweather-Conor fight. Its one of the many options that are there for Conor, so lets see how the next couple weeks go.If the odds were good enough, Id put a few quid on it for next year. Im not breaking any news saying that theres conversations going back and forth for the last year or so. Is it getting any close? I dont know, but it certainly wouldnt surprise me that its going to happen.When it comes to McGregors next UFC opponent, both Tony Ferguson and?Khabib Nurmagomedov -- ESPNs No. 2- and No. 3-ranked UFC lightweights -- have been suggested as possible options.Nurmagomedov called out McGregor at UFC 205 after submitting Michael Johnson in a dominant performance, and has continued to demand a lightweight title shot on social media.Both of those guys are fantastic fighters; I would relish the challenge of preparing him for either one of them, said Kavanagh. Theyre different style of fighters, but I have no doubt in my mind that Conor will run through either one of them.He is, I believe right now, the best fighter on the planet. His skillset is so high, his mental strength is so strong, that I dont see anybody being able to survive with him in the Octagon. Mets Jerseys 2019 .

Everybody knows that. I feel confident in what were doing right now, and I think were going to keep progressing. I think itll be a good matchup.Mayfield took the blame for the loss to Houston, saying he forced throws at times in the second half and took too many sacks.

Both teams scored 17 points after the break.Hopefully, we got a little bit better and learned something tonight to use for next week, Viator said.OKLAHOMA: The Sooners re-established their run game. They gained just 70 yards on 26 carries against Houston, but bounced back with 288 yards on 46 attempts against ULM. Mixon, a sophomore, finished with the third-highest rushing yardage total of his career.Perines two touchdowns gave him 39 in his career, tying him with Joe Washington for seventh in school history.I thought Joe and Samaje did a great job early, Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley said. I thought we really played well up front. We had good balance offensively.PREGAME FOCUSOklahomas coaching staff was concerned about how many big plays the Sooners cornerbacks gave up against Houston. He said aside from two busted coverages in the third quarter that resulted in long touchdown catches of 73 yards by Turner and 43 yards by Alec Osborne, the Sooners defended the pass well on Saturday. Aside from those two plays, ULM passed for just 156 yards.RUSSELL WESTBROOKOklahoma City Thunder star Russell Westbrook attended the game and drew a loud cheer when he was shown on the video board. Mayfield entered the postgame press conference with a T-shirt with the phrase, In Russ We Trust on the front.RECORD CROWDThe announced attendance of 87,037 was a record for the stadium.
