Could be wrong but I reckon that was pointed towards Dillashaw and Co. He isn't even looking at Aldos corner.

Yupp i was thinking the same. TJ had a big shocked head on him like someone just took away his bowl of pasgetti.

Haha I loved that bit. The sweetness of victory after all the sledging.

Anyone think the Rockhold fight should've been stopped a round early? Personally I think not, looked worse when someone gets cut but I felt Weidman was blocking and defending well enough. What makes a ref decide what's adequate defence not to stop it?

I couldn't believe it wasn't stopped at the end of the third. What else did Rockhold have to do. Weidman was literally just covering up.

I was just having a discussion there with one of the lads, I'm fairly sure croke Park won't happen now with the way Conors tone has changed on the subject. The ufc should look into what Frampton had for his fight in Belfast, 16/17k temporary arena for a card here, do it in Punchestown or something like that and cater for the American ppv times, would be unreal.

Amazing fight for Conor, delighted for him. Felt bad for Aldo, he'll be back though.

The Urijah V Frankie fight was a fun one, Frankie had some heart...

Gamebred

Will Aldo be back at all after the retirement rumours?


He wasnt being a company man in reguards of reebok or iv's so that wont help him in getting a favourable return fight ie a rematch or even a fight at home in brazil cant see them doing him favours.

Interesting point. I hadn't considered that. In that case it's banter more than anything. Thought it was bad form if directed at Aldo's corner.

Sure he went to hug aldo after. I think Aldos corner were just caught up in the shock.

negligible refereeing and even more negligible corner work for Weidman.

Herb Dean should have stopped it, and when the poor fecker had to be cajoled back to his stool, and was clearly in no fit state to continue they just sent him out to get a further inevitable beating. It was like storming the trenches in WW1, suicide!!

I actually think thats a major issue in MMA, the corners never pull their fighters out when they're taking a beating. I guarantee if that was in boxing then Weidmans corner would have thrown in the towel.

Lads we have an Irish ufc champion!

Still can't believe it!

Dana reckons himself it should have been stopped

Lukker-

There's a vid of Lorenzo Fertitta throwing his arms up while holding the belt after Aldo got knocked down. He looked pissed off. Not sure was it because the fight ended so quickly but supposedly there was some friction between Conor's camp and the UFC over the figure for his new contract. He didn't sign one before the fight, probably so he's in a better position after, but I think he said in his post fight conference that he had agreed a deal in principle. Anyways, he's in an amazing situation, Weidmann and Ronda are gone, 2 of the most marketable fighters going.

Great work thewheel fair play for putting that together cheers.

After Mendes fight he got that cut stitched really well in America.

His cut opened again in Ireland training and he got it poorly stitched back!


Said he'll get it done properly now to stop it opening

Id say his next contract wont be far off a controlling stake in the company if hee keeps up his progress

A controlling stake in the company? Its a $1.6bn company even White only had 9% he might get a piece but it will be a very small piece.

I just have to put it out there. For all the Joe Rogan naysayers, you cannot deny the man knows his ****. Yeah, he sometimes loses the run of himself when calling for his favorite fighters and at times can be a bit biased but you can hear on this behind the scenes production audio that he has an intimate knowledge of the game and has a lot of respect from the producers.

its funny how some of these invincible champions have all been dethroned recently enough, just after the IV ban and stricter anti doping controls came into play........
