Ppl trying to say McGregor losing isn't a big deal?

Come on. Hes the face right now of ufc. They build these guys(and Ronda) up for 12-13 months as being the baddest new kid on the block, throw all their chips in, and then they lose.

That's bad for business. But it's the nature of the beast
You refuted your own point. It's the nature of the beast. There is always someone behind who they are pushing at the moment. Keep in mind Connor is still the 145 champ......

What?

Conor is the one fighting midgets, it's like JJ going down to MW. He belongs in 55, which so happens to be Nate's division...and we see what happened there. He's not even top 5 in the LW. He can't beat RDA, Khabib, Pettis, Nate, Ferguson, he's a top 10 in the LW at best. Put any of the guys I listed in the 45 and they'd fukk everyone up.

Edgar is fukking 5'6 with a 68 inch reach, Conor is 5'9 with a 74' reach. 74 is the average WW reach size, as is the height, Conor is bigger than RDA :dead:
nate is like 6 ft tall so how is him fighting at lw not fighting midgets? How is aldo at 145 not fighting midgets then? By your standards bones should move up to heavyweight Bc his arms are so long, right? Connor is going to come out with a vengeance against Edgar then probably rock aldo again then we will see what he does at 155. He got rocked and subbed. shyt happens but don't act like Conor using his reach and size is a bad thing. Ppl have been doing that forever.

if he gets on another win streak(which he will) then the hype train will be back just based on how he fights and his antics. Ppl will buy his ppv next time to see if he lost his mojo or if he still has it. Not like he got straight murked out and ko(like what he do to aldo) and he's still got a belt. :yeshrug:

I got respect for Conor. He didn't have to take that fight at 170, it's kinda crazy that he did. I thought this was a terrible match up for him second it was announced. He's gonna bounce back for sure

Congrats to Nate tho, great performance
Yeah. I like to laugh at him, but Nate whooping his ass mainly showed how Conner has to slow his role and stay in his weight class where he belongs. Nate's not even a top threat like that, just a premier vet and gatekeeper.

Connor will be aite.

Conor was out there fighting like a fool after the first round. He wasn't trying to get around Nate's reach when Nate was throwing them far out strikes.

edit: Tate. :wow: that fight was mad nice.

Amazing fight. Women's MMA came a long way.

Tate and Holly both put together damn near perfect fight plans. Also, this ain't the same Tate Ronda is about to fight. Manhandling Holly for a full round like that? :wow::wow::wow: Ronda could barely keep her arms around Holly when they fought. Meisha put some serious work in - and you just know she'd rather die than give the belt to Ronda of all people.

Ronda should quit:ld: its gonna be savage as fukk.

She certainly did. Got to see her ground game for the first time. It's awful and needs a ton of work.

Dana was talking about doing Nate vs. Robbie for the 170 title
Beating a fukking 145 lb'er who has never fought above 155 makes you #1 contender at 170? fukking shameless :dead:
Lol

Really didn't expect the second takedown to workout at all. If I'm remembering correctly, the second one didn't seem to have as much leverage as the first. Really risked a KO on that last bit, damn.

Just watched it.

I will never understand why dudes do that. :what:You're bound to lose once Bc of it. Hopefully he learns his lesson.:ufdup:

Jose Aldo taunts Conor McGregor on Twitter following UFC 196 loss, calls for rematch at UFC 200 - MMAmania.com


Aldo is officially an A-1 certified clown


Get hype off another man's win, brehs

Call a man a p*ssy when he gave you a chance at a rematch and you turned it down, brehs

He just suffered a concussion from that knockout. He would be a fool to take a rematch on so soon. You saw what happened to chad mendes. He is gonna still eat and get paid later, that rematch vs Conor will happen
