"I absolutely thought Nate was going to win. I went and bet money on him," Shields said. "There were things I was worried about. Like the fact that Nate was in Cabo right before the fight. Him and [Gilbert Melendez] were out in Cabo, drinking, eating, you know, having fun and partying, not training, so that was in the back of my head."
"Nate’s a cardio freak, so I was like, ‘Well hopefully that doesn’t hurt him.’ I definitely thought Nate was gonna win. I think Conor’s a great fighter, but I think he got a little overhyped."
"I believed in him regardless," Shields said. "Obviously definitely the camp would've been a lot better, but I still felt like Nate was just the smarter fighter, the bigger fighter. I felt like he had a lot more experience."
