Prediction for new P4P top 5.

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

Jones doesn't even hold a belt.

Rockhold is a little bit of a journey man (in comparison to Conor) who has just won a belt.

Johnson decisions everybody.

Conor just knocked out the current P4P Champ in 13 seconds after dominating everybody who has faced him.

So in short, i disagree.

Jones doesn't hold a belt but he's the badest man on earth.

rock no journey man
don't think there's anyone to touch him in the divsion right now either
jacare was his biggest thread imo and like someone said here earlier romero wont survive championship rounds if he has to

Despite that fact they dont have a belt (Jones) and decision everyone (Johnson) as you say, they are currently #4 and #2 respectively. Conor will do well to leapfrog them straight into the number 1 spot.

Even after the comprehensive beating Holly Holm gave Rousey, she is still below her on the P4P rankings. Takes a lot to get to the top there.

And as for calling Rockhold a journey man, by comparison to anyone??? Jesus Christ are you serious?? If he is a journeyman, then so are 99.9999% of the entire roster. Former strikeforce champ, has beaten a who's who of MW's and just devastatingly dethroned the champ who beat Anderson Silva.

Lads dont know how ye back home are holding up but its 3:30am here and i just spilt a beer on myself and i'm going to bed


Hon da McGregor!!!!!!

Lukker-

Man Conor literally came in and handled business for the UFC.

That was a classy press conference, he was cocky yet somehow gracious. He's actually been very zen all fight week.

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.

Not quite sure what you were expecting from 2 featherweight fighters.

That is as sweet and clean, powerful knockout as you'll see at a low weight division in UFC or boxing.

He just crushed that press conference.
He's always known he worth $$$$ to the UFC and he's going to make them pay every cent he's worth. He has the media and fans (myself included) screaming for more.

I really agree with this. Think that's where Ido Portal comes in I think. Conor said all the heavy training is over by the last week. So Ido probably just helps him on the lead in to the fight by keeping him loose and stretched and calm by combining yoga, and types of meditation and body and mind awareness techniques.

It may seem like mumbo jumbo but if it adds 5% to Conors ability to perform on fight night then it can make a tangible difference for him.

(Or I just made all that up because of not sleeping enough )

Seriously, the fact it was 13 secs makes it all the better. Shocked the arena. Shocked the world. Elevates McGregor to absolute super stardom.

Here is my post fight article for UFC 194, including how Conor did it and what comes next. Now I'm off to get a drink, it's only 2 am in Vegas!

Better length of the weigh in staredown.

McGregor looked better than any weigh in recently. What did he actually weigh in at? EDIT: 145.

Aldo looked positively giddy.

While I'd like to see a brawl, I'd absolutely piss myself laughing if it was over with the first strike, at 0:02.

Ok, so I was a few seconds out. I should really start putting money on these things.

Fair play McGregor, and hard luck to Aldo. You can see in the post fight, Aldo knows he got bate, but he really wanted a better fight. Will watch the presser later, but I expect Conor will steal the show. You really have to feel for the ones that don't have the same charisma, like Rockhold.

Rockhold looked so awkward at interviews all week that I thought he had written himself off.
Some performance by him, Weimann was in bits after

Have to say - never been so happy to be so wrong!
How could you not be just delighted for him, and he handled the post presser like a total pro.

Watched the ko again. Aldo minus at least one tooth. Some shot

Did the referee (accidently) kick Aldo in the face as he was pushing Conor off?
