You can see Aldo's life flashing before his eyes.

Main event was a let down. Didn't care who won, just wanted a long hard fight. I mean, it especially sucked because the previous fights were good. In that sense, I was okay paying for the card, but it doesn't take away from the main event let down.
Weidman doesn't deserve a rematch. I say have Weidman - Jacare and Romero - Rockhold.
Aldo needs to have one convincing win and then back to a title fight, like Velasquez. Let's have McGregor - Edgar for the title, but would be hard on who would fight Aldo. Mendes? Lamas? Tough call. I know sherdog had Aldo - Edgar while Mcgregor goes up to fight for the 155 title, but I think that argument is poor. Frankie Edgar deserves his title shot.

Aldo vs Connor wasn't about the fight itself, but about ramifications. Seeing Connor knock the lights out of Aldo in 13 seconds is the perfect ending to the journey.
Connor about take the UFC into uncharted territory, he's the beginning of the end.

I just saw the fights. I knew of the McGregor win (lol, 13 second full fights on twitter...) but I was shocked to see how bad Weidman looked - but that sounds like I discredit Rockhold (he's been underrated for a while).
What the UFC should do: Insist on both Aldo and Conor go to 155, get the title fight for Conor, and have the winner face Aldo in the AT&T Stadium in a megafight card.

So Connors camp said 145 is too much on him?
I'd rather Conor stay where he is. Cowboy is fricken 6'1. Conor is only 5'9. I'd be really concerned for Conor with a lot of the top ten at 155.
Also can't wait till next weekend (I'm going).

Amazing.
So i just watched the Weidman fight and wow it looked like weidman was getting ready to put Luke away with those body kicks. Than he throws the stupidest most pointless kick ever. But i think he did it because he was kicking Luke's ass and got overconfident.
Id love to see a rematch but Weidman should fight jacare for a #1 contender fight.

Conor is only 5'9 yes, but he's also got a 1 inch reach advantage over the 6'1 Cerrone.
McGregor has experience at 155lbs, and I think he'll be a monster there.
Im not counting out cerrone after the new drug testing policies. RDA is raising some serious flags after his recent performances.
Even romero looked a bit smaller yesterday. Weidman looked deflated.

I agree that 155 is a different ballgame. I would like to see Pettis vs McGregor though. It's an interesting fight.
He remembered that's how Belfort knocked him out. Speaking of which, I can guaran-fucking-tee that Belfort will lobby for a title fight just because he knocked Rockhold out while he was juicing.

lol right he still needs to completely dominate his division which he's doing... but still needs to defend his title. People sleep on Frankie Edgar all the time but he will be stiff competition for McGregor and let's be honest an Aldo vs McGregor rematch has to happen sooner or later.
Defend the title 5+ times like Aldo did, than let's talk about dominating a division that people are crazy to think he's an automatic lock to dominate without even having fought in that division yet.(in the UFC)
Funny and perfect, but I hate to see a guy take an unnecessary beating like that. Dean's gotta go.
This I don't understand. Weidman fought exactly how he always had. The dude's a big, tough grinder with distinctly average standup.
Personally, I was surprised by how rough Rockhold looked. I'm not about dudes giving excuses win or lose but well... when he discussed his health issues, I believed him. He has the size/grappling to deal with Weidman and much better striking and fight IQ. It turned out to be a good fight, but I expected something more dominant.

He was, but this is a legacy killing performance. The stage was too big to go out like that. He needs a rematch.

I was rooting for Aldo, I didn't make a fight prediction.

No he doesn't. At least not immediately.
It was very decisive. One punch - head, clean, off. KTFO'd. Conor has consistently talked huge and backed it up at every step, even calling what he's going to do pretty much every time, even against the P4P #1. Absolutely insane.
I'm not using recent bs rematches as further justification. Make Aldo vs Max - that would be a great fight.

This thread last night was like Christmas. All the hype and salt in the goddamn world. You could literally build a salt mountain with Baldwin's on his own
You'd think this place was Sherdog after reading all that venom.

Like someone said earlier in the thread, if Conor lost last night, this thread would be twice as long.

Whether they should book a rematch is up for debate, but he absolutely needs one.
Jeff is hilarious. He's supposed to be the quiet one.
It was such a beautiful thing seeing them pissing on McGregor before the fight.
You might be convinced it came down to pure skill but to the world it seemed like it just came down to a tense Aldo getting caught. It happens. McGregor has to prove that it wasn't just a fluke.

If Aldo had popped McGregor down in 13 seconds, this shit would never be over ever ever
McGregor on that UFC Undisputed flash KO ish

It wasn't a fluke, but Aldo was definitely jittery. Never got a chance to settle into the fight.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Fights that end like that don't really mean much overall.. I mean it was an exciting win.. but it doesn't tell us much... it's not luck.. but didn't even get a chance to feel either guy out.. just boom.. over.
Aldo was tense, did something stupid.. and that stupid ended up ending the fight.

Right. It's up to the dude who won in literally the most spectacular fashion possible to prove something.

Hey hey hey now I had a bad feeling when i saw how confident conor look coming out and how aldo was doing things he never before..it was a bizarre experience.
Would love to see a rematch maybe aldo comes back like GSP and beast modes (yeah serra is nothing compared to conor) or he comes back like silva and just flops again.
we shall see.
