The MMA thread

Fixed, they had to find a way to finish this PPV within three hours...
lol
 
I feel sorry for the people who buy this on PPV in the states.

Glad I got BT sport.
 
Apart from a straight knockout that is the ultimate way to win
I know...but I'm just not a fan of an arm bar ending a fight. I realize it's a skill and I'm not dissing it, just nor my preference.

Moot point now...what a hit. Funnier on replay, as Conor copped a punch too, but Aldo was already out
 
Can't believe I woke up for that!

FFS. Feel sorry for anyone who paid to watch.
 
Nah. They can't argue that. He landed as clean a punch as you can land and Aldo couldn't take it. No fluke in that.

Mate I could knock Mike Tyson out with the perfect punch. I agree it isn't a fluke as such but it's still something that could happen to anybody so surely we'll see another fight.
 
Aldo just lost his head at that instant. He left himself way open just to try and get in a hard sucker punch on McGregor, and him going towards McGregor's punch was what costed him that match.
 
Lunge in on a man who is the best striker in the UFC Aldo, what can go wrong?
 
Don't see the point of a rematch tbh.

McGregor has bigger things to move on to now

No you couldn't. I'm going to assume you're not a heavywight boxer so Tyson could take a punch from you with his hands behind his back. Conor's left hand is famous. He landed it and knocked him out. There's no argument anymore. He talked the talk and emphatically walked the walk tonight.
 
He looked absolutely terrified did Aldo. Never even looked up once when he got in to the octagon. Normally I'd look forward to a rematch but the thought of one after that doesn't interest me at all.
 
How is there no reason for a rematch? I know he got knocked out in 13 seconds, but the guy was a champion for 10 years, he deserves one surely?

Unless there is something I'm not seeing here.

Ah no, you have to give Aldo a rematch. He's been the champion forever, not right that he gets knocked out like that and doesn't get the chance to redeem himself. He deserves a rematch given everything he's done.
 
This is 7-1 all over again. Except in a sport no one cares about.
 
I don't really think Aldo will get an immediate rematch. I think Edgar will get through first, and after that, we'll see if Aldo proves himself again.
