McGregor's CHIN actually won that fight...replay shows punch Aldo was throwing when he got nailed connected full-force and on the button of Conor's chin, apparently even more solidly than the one he KO'd Aldo with

but McG's chin was like the Timex watch...took the lickin' and kept tickin'...

now on the EA cover: 1 graceless loser...and 1 amazing winner

It would have been hilarious if both fighters got KO'ed. Happened before but never in the UFC.

That was a fix if I've ever seen one. That left McGregor threw is not a knockout punch. Aldo took that loss and layed waiting for the fight to get called. What crap

neither was the one weidman through vs silva the first time. It happens, it was purely a fluke win on top of being a huge letdown because it happened in 10 seconds.

**shabang** · 12-13-15, 01:11 AM

damn, that was a pretty big let down..just to get a quick ko like that..after all this time waiting...I'm pretty bummed...don't know about you guys

**Sanity Check** · 12-13-15, 01:11 AM

No big deal.

Conor would've done the same to Chad Mendes, if Mendes stood in the pocket (like he did against Frankie Edgar) & hadn't spent the entire fight running away.

gg

**mirinquads** · 12-13-15, 01:12 AM

Frankie and the 155 pound only ones who can win most likely

Bummed but me and Connor have all this money to comfort us.

Aldo probably got paid TONS. Should've known better UFC NEEDS Conor to win to stay relevant after Rousey's shocking loss. UFC will be the WWE/NFL and fix fights. Aldo got clipped with a decent shot but it's always hard to determine if that was a real KO shot. I'm a believer of NFL fixing games, and wouldn't be surprised if the UFC borrowed a script.

seems most of us won..that's not the point.. I wanted to see some good fights..not even that happy that I won..more bummed about this over hyped card

penetrating huge let down.. pretty shitty card actually..the rockhold/weidman fight was the best one..everyone was a joke..

jacare looked like shit..couldn't pull the trigger, very frustrating to watch

weidman looked human, no way he beats rockhold ever..think rockhold will dominate the division for a minute

**Killer_Demo** · 12-13-15, 01:16 AM

My dog yoel romero barked at +120, Luke straight schooled weidman. That GnP was nasty from Luke.

Aldo LOL. Back to eat fava beans in the favela. Conor is king now.

Yeah it never looked a knockout punch, looked to me jose take a dive.

Lmfao eat crow like a man, Jose ran his face into alot of power, it was Connors power coupled with Jose jumping into it trying to chance down connor. Mind games payed off, no one in the featherweight or lightweight division can stand with connor, MUST COME in with a game plan to take him down or any guy in either division gets knocked out.

**POOLSIDE** · 12-13-15, 01:17 AM

I don't ever watch UFC as I find fighting super boring to watch, but you guys claiming that was a fix need to get a life. He caught him, plain and simple.

**Fred The Hammer** · 12-13-15, 01:18 AM

All the lefties kicked ass tonite!! I'm a lefty and we're not quite like everyone else....good and bad

**Unwritten Law** · 12-13-15, 01:18 AM

Conor losing would doom the UFC. Now the sheeples will believe what Conor will say like he's a god. Conor knew what's up. He didn't run out of the octagon because he knew the fix was in......like okay, thanks I won.

Now Conor will be entitled to defend his belt in Ireland vs Frankie Edgar. It's unfortunate Duffy won't get the next crack as I don't think he'll take a dive, so UFC matchmaker won't pit him vs McGregor yet because it's too risky for the business.

Another sore loser, grow a pair bud, take your clear lose like a man, aldo was never gonna beat mcgregor under any. Circumstances, get a clue. You gonna call fix everytime mcgregor wins lmao wake up,he's one of if not the best striker in the. Entire ufc.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....couldn't be that McGregor psyched out Aldo and got him to rush forward and leave an opening. Its always got to be a fix

**Sanity Check** · 12-13-15, 01:23 AM

lol why do people think all of Conor's opponents move backwards and run away from him?

They do that cuz all of Conor's opponents who stood in the pocket got knocked the f out.

Aldo had to move backwards and run away from Conor for the fight to last longer. Like Chad Mendes did.

The second Chad Mendes couldn't run away anymore is the second the fight ended. Its not a coincidence.

**Unwritten Law** · 12-13-15, 01:23 AM

It's easy to fix fights and now after UFC 189, I have to be more cautious when placing bets. UFC is no better than the NFL or NBA. IF they need to make money somehow and generate big profits, they'll do whatever it takes. Dana is the happiest man in Vegas seeing Conor win. Now they have big plans to market McGregor in Ireland to make more money. It's a real shady business but nobody likes to lose.

**Fred The Hammer** · 12-13-15, 01:23 AM

Who else is there at 145? Frankie is all thats left? 155 is a whole diff story though? Ton of guys just as long and big as McGregor. I love his fighting style but he might not ever get off the mat to throw a punch against some of those guys?

Seriously lol that was a fantastic card, I loved it, wish the main event would have lasted a bit longer but it was all good.

**Fred The Hammer** · 12-13-15, 01:26 AM

Question from tonite though? How is it that Herb Dean stops almost every fight he ever refs too quickly but lets Weidman catch 160 shots in a row to the face? That was bad for the sport

Buddy, I'll take the loss but I just hate when fights are questionable. Conor is the biggest draw outside of Rousey. I'm more pissed the fight lasted under a minute more than anything. Just don't be a sheep and believe everything you see on media TV. I'm way up this year despite this loss. Great job jumping on the McWagon his last two fights.

Not sure... But honestly... Think about when Souza almost died Round 1... What if the ref stopped it... He came storming back rounds 2 and 3. I hate when they call it early. They are grown men and it wasnt like he was not trying to protect himself....

And lastly...

If you ask the under backers, they will tell you its "because he was on the over"

I got Rockhold today at +140. I think the line will start edging down a bit? I already thought Luke was bigger and had more power but just read an article the other day about how Weidman has lost some weight and is already around 192-93? He better plan on coming into the ring bigger than that because Luke will probably be 205-210 lbs of ripped muscle. Luke looked twice the size of Machida or Bisping when he crushed them....he's a HUGE middleweight. I respect Chris but he's been besting some old-timers and he's not ready for this beast!!
Rockhold by superior infliction of pain in the 3rd or 4th!

I haven't being doing too bad with the UFC either!!!

**Fred The Hammer** · 12-13-15, 01:36 AM

Frankie cant beat McGregor either.....he's too much for 145....PERIOD

Why Didn't they fix the Ronda fight then...can't hold it against Conor because he gets fans with his mouth,but he backs it up, you can't take that from him, it's sickening to see people calling his fights fixed, he's been doing this his whole career, it's nothing new man. Aldo jumped into a powerful pinpoint punch, clearly landed perfectly on the chin, he does it everytime, you have to take him down, are you have no way of winning, I knew aldo would try to stand with him, it's his nature, made this a easy call. If you stand with connor, you fall.

He knows its the biggest fight in middleweight history and it's a championship fight..they know a lot of riding on that so they tend to let them go longer in bigger rights..

agree it could've been stopped though no problem. Also didn't mind seeing it go on since it's such a huge fight.

**TPowell** · 12-13-15, 01:39 AM

jesus, you guys calling fixed should really get a life. It was obvious going into this fight that Conor had the most power in the division. If Aldo could have survived long enough, maybe he could have got Conor down and subbed him but he is/was outclassed on the feet. Nobody can handle Conor on the feet in this division

Which part was boring? Well, let's see. The months and months of hearing about it. The phony posturing and trash talking that has zero effect on the fight. The WWE style buildup. The WWE style announcer making the looooong introductions. I've seen both basketball teams announced in less time than this guy talked about each one of these 135lb tiny men. Then the fight was over in ten seconds. Thank god I streamed it. People pay to watch this?

Like I said, not a fan. I used to love boxing but MMA doesn't do it for me. However, this fight was so built up that I decided to give it a shot. Ten minutes of light shows and dramatic introductions and ten seconds of fighting later, I'm bored.

Side note. It's real easy to call someone a pussy over the internet. If that's you in the profile pic, I'd wager that's the only place you're doing it.

Conor is a even better counter striker, he goats guys into moving forward, he uses his spinning kicks as a means to get them to move forward as well, he's a chess player in the octagon, it's brilliant to watch, a honor really..He's p4p the best in mma

It really is.

I looked at Conor's record & he's 19-2 with 17 knockouts.

Conor has a higher knockout percentage than pretty much anyone, including all time greats in boxing like Mike Tyson.

The McGregor hype train is rolling good. Looks like the money train is on him for the time being. Wished Duffy could get the next shot because I don't think he's willing to take a dive, yet. UFC might prolong for him to lose and slip him out of the rankings. Looks at the Poirier fight....for all we knew the fight could've been called off to stall Duffy moving up the rankings.

Lesson learned. I never thought UFC would manipulate fights, but after watching Mendes 189, Erokhin/Gonzaga, and even Aldo/McGregor, there's no question these fights could be fixed. Just thought it was the NFL/NBA, but throw UFC in the mix. If money is involved, they don't care. Dana can easily pay Aldo 2 or 3 million because the dividends will pay much more than that.

LMAO, yeah Dana really wanted to see Gonzaga and Erokhin do NOTHING for 3 rounds. Dude, come on
