    All about the kaching. Everyone who is everyone is looking to fight Mcgregor because even to get whooped is probably worth some wedge. Funnily enough no one called out Aldo within the last year despite him being number one for years.

    Both fighters have progressed since but I don't think it'll happen considering that Edgar is next in line and Aldo will most certainly be in contention before Max.

    Lads what was the craic with Aldo when he entered the ring? His body language said he didn't want to be there or is he normally like that?

    Some people are really clutching at straws to undermine conors win. Face it lads mcgregor is here to stay.

    It's unreal, so far I've seen...

    Aldo slipped
    It was stopped too soon
    "He clearly wasn't knocked out"
    It was fixed
    It wasn't a real fight
    Edgar will beat him

    It reminds me of the quiz episode on The Office - We could settle it by letting Aldo throw a shoe over a building, if he does it, he wins the fight.

    He always does it, he doesn't look at his opponent until the bell goes.

    Edit - I do agree though it did seem a bit off

    Very much the norm, doesn't make eye contact at all generally.

    It was unusual to see him make eye contact at the weigh in etc, he is an introvert.

    So have the English press claimed him as fully British yet?

    The British rag newspapers can't get away with that anymore, so they have taken to comparing him to the Pikie in Snatch. Typical .

    What is Max playing at? He would stand Zero chance against Conor. Its either Franky next or conor moves up a weight. I have no interest in seeing Conor Vs Max

    Holloway is trying to sell himself. He brought McGregor to a decision. They've all seen what the being able to sell yourself gets you, and they want a piece of the champ.

    Does he deserve it? Not for me to say. But you can't blame a man for trying to emulate Conor.

    he spoke about it in an interview after the fight. It was reopened in a clash of heads in the gym, he said the patch up after the clash of heads wasn't great and he's going to get a proper job done on it now.


    What I like there is how respectful and thoughtful he can be.
    He let's himself down with the taunting when it goes too far. He doesn't need to do it IMO.

    Shocked there was no glove touch by the way. McGregor offers his gloves before every fight but perhaps he was waiting for Aldo to make the first move.

    Exactly, in an individual combat sport you need the likes of Fury or Mcgregor getting the bums on seats.

    It's a tactic that's been used for an extremely long time. Even Muhammed Ali was a fan of bigging himself up and putting down his opponent before the fight started.

    Mind games can pretty much win a fight for you if done properly.

    Dont think so bud. In the UFC alone I know he didn't offer the glove to poirier and AFAIR he didnt offer the glove to Dave Hill either to mention just two.

    The traveling Irish are untouchable when it comes to creating the atmosphere needed to make a week like this what it was!!

    Watching the middleweight fight back again, how Dean doesn't stop that in the 3rd is beyond me, surely meme worthy anyway :)

    Surreal night.

    13 seconds.....It's so special it kind if makes up for the lack of a real fight...but there's obviously that disappointment as an MMA fan first and foremost that we didn't see a few rounds. Great for the LW and BW division obviously, opens up so many fights. I hope Conor fights as often as he says he will.

    You're right of course. Not sure how I forgot about the Poirier one!

    Nice try?? Buddy??? I don't understand what you mean. I don't think it is fair to hit someone when they are down. It is cowardly and is nothing to be proud of. I have heard McGregor blowing his mouth off recently and wondered who he was. When I saw the clip of yesterday's eh ...fight I thought to myself what a load of cobblers. Handbags.

    If you got hit by one of those handbags you would know about it. If you're going to comment in an MMA forum its best to know how the sport works before knocking it.
