So... Bitch ass Conor McGregor got his ass handed to him. I guess he needs to stick his skinny ass to his own weight class. Holly Holm at least went to sleep, sucks for her but she got caught by a more seasoned fighter. Conor felt a wrist against his throat and couldn't tap out fast enough. What a bitch. Aldo will wreck him if they get into the octagon again together.
Frankie Edgar is the big winner tonight. Conor is done at 170. Man, Robbie Lawler would have punched his head clean off his neck. He can't challenge at 155 coming off a loss, so the Dos Anjos fight is out the window. He'll have to go back to 145 and face Edgar who I think will give him a very stiff challenge. He's a former champ with tons of big fight experience, so I doubt Conor gets in his head. Edgar has outstanding cardio, good footwork and head movement in the standup as well as top notch wrestling. Conor had the benefit of fighting Mendes when he barely had a camp. I think Edgar's wrestling could be a nightmare for him.
Glad that cocky Irish got put in his place. Holm was winning the entire fight and was 90 seconds from her first title defense. She just got caught, but definitely deserves a rematch. Rousey would butt rape Tate (again). With UFC 200 looming I expect some big matchups. Hopefully McDickhead/Aldo 2 (fukk Edgar), GSP returning to fight someone would sell, maybe Lawler? Holmes/Tate 2, Diaz deserves a good matchup, and hopefully mah boy Max Holloway.
Holm was hardly winning the entire fight. She got taken down and owned in round 2 for over 3 1/2 minutes. So much so that all 3 judges agreed it was a rare 10-8 round. And you'd really rather see Aldo get a rematch after being KO'd in 13 seconds by Conor than Edgar? Why?
It was a great couple of last fights...Surprises all around. Now Tate vs Ronda part 3...Ronda will win again and then it will set up a rematch with Holm
a quick knockout is easier to rematch than a dominating performance. sometimes guys get lucky and score a quick one. i think frankie edgar can beat him too. mcgregor had a great plan and made himself a shit ton of money, and will continue to make himself good money but i think the shine is off of him and his plan changes now that he got punched in the face by a guy a little bigger and stronger than him. although didnt he come in at like 168 himself? i am all for weigh ins an hour before the fight, these guys cutting weight is completely infuriating. and the fact these assholes do it with high school wrestlers is absurd. stop trying to fight down a division all the goddamn time and man up.
