    So what's the story does Aldo get counted out? It seemed very quick to announce McG champ? (Unless clip I saw was speeded up)

    Did Faber just call out TJ on steroids?

    Sounded like targeted speculation definitely. Left himself with plausible deniability though if he's called on it.

    Yeah and I respect that, but not enough to to go see him paraded bus top through Dublin. Just doesn't carry the same gravity or social impact as soccer or rugby.

    Didn't the rugby team get one and they got beat in a quarter final?!

    Not much of one as far as I know, certainly wasn't a remarkable achievement.

    It's not boxing you don't get counted out, how could you possibly just stand and count there while someone throws hammerfists into an unconscious dude on the ground.

    Wonder what Rockhold is thinking, being shepherded off with the rest and the other newly crowned champ getting his own private press conference?

    Pretty sure he predicted Chad Mendes wrong.

    McGregor said he would knock Mendes out in the second

    Think the thousands that spent a fortune to go to the States spoke volumes.

    You would send the other fighter to a neutral corner. He was unconscious- explains that. Cheers

    Is Conor P4P Champ?

    He just embarassed the current P4P, i think he has to be.

    Wow Conor talking about taking the 155 belt and then going back down to wipe out any contenders in 145.

    Thats nuts but at this stage are we the ones who are nuts for doubting him?

    1. Johnson
    2. Jones
    3. Rockhold
    4. McGregor
    5. Aldo

    tbf its debatable.

    And that is saying a lot, as Conor has dominated every challenge in front of his face...bones had to go 5 rounds with Gustaferasson then lost his belt, while Conor has steamrolled the 145 division.

    Conor could dominate the 155 division, Jones could dominate the heavyweight, that will be the tru test of P4P champ.

    Conor holds the belt right now, Jones does not...so imo Conor is the P4P Champ

    Saw a lot of comments on the AH thread like "monster punch" etc. So I was expecting some kind of spectacular swing with Aldo being left flat out. But then I watched it...

    Man I'm glad I do not stay up or wake up for this kind of thing.

    Is Jones back in the lists yet? Is he considered an active fighter? Hopefully him and DC is confirmed soon.

    He was always in the P4P list I think. He's there at the moment anyway.
