Wiedman's spinning kick was atrocious!

I hope that replay haunts him in his sleep. He was never going to knock him out or even hurt him so why try something flashy? It was as dumb as Chael Sonnen's spinning back fist. Just stick to what you know.

If there was ever an easy moment to define where someone lost the fight, that was it.

The 4 guys in particular are the most bland guys in the sport,same with DJ his numbers are pathetic for such a dominant champion because he has no personality thus he has no right to demand the money I think Conor is demanding and deserving of,

I have actually met 2 of the 4 mentioned and can confirm they have no charisma btw



I'm not saying a mouth piece is a good thing but I see what gamebred is saying, correct, they're all all boring as hell. Sure isnt charisma and smack talk backed up with skill exactly how ortiz dragged the UFC up by the bootstraps?? it's also why they were over the moon when brock was champ.

it's not cool to be rude and obnoxious but you need to stand out in that game, if you skill make you unique then a great persona makes you highly prized and market worthy, sure why else would mcgregor have the lucrative deals he has so quickly.

I think lots of the current crop are terrible in terms of making things exciting. accept faber!! Faber has a special place in my heart after that conor encounter outside the jacks, he's a kid in awe of conor and just cant believe how damn unlucky he was not having that skill!! funny little fecker he is.

Any gifs going around of weidmans kick? Fairly sure that will haunt him for the rest of his life.

I noticed conor flipping them the fingers afterward on the ringside. I'd say that was because they were trying to intimidate him at the weight ins walking out. He was well able but how sweet a response was that to their vitriol!!

ha ha ha ha yer man literally eating his hat in the middle of jose's corner!

i see aldo didn't say what the translator told us.

According to various people online, the actual translation of the opening answer was closer to:

"I believe that after this fight we have to go for a rematch, it's not done yet. He got me with a good shot and was able to finish the fight."

Can we take back the boos?

Why anyone would boo him in the first place I'll never know

Anyone heard from Joe Riggs since the fight?

Dana white says he can see conor fighting 3 times in 2016

Ideally it would be

Conor v frankie edgar
Conor v 155 title holder
Conor v aldo December 2016

He wasn't flipping them off.

They were trying to intimidate him?!?

Rockhold managed around 92 strikes while in mount for 1 minute and 9 seconds, at the end of the third round, apparently.

No idea how it wasn't stopped. Also not sure how Weidman actually stayed conscious.

Just checked this morning on UFC.com and the P4P hasn't changed and neither has the rankings for Featherweight....you would think that it would be updated much quicker...

It looked, and still looks incredible! Dean literally just stood there and watched, Chris was offering nothing in return just trying to cover up and getting pounded. I think it should have been stopped. They also shouldn't have sent him back out for the next round, the fight was over. They were lucky serious damage wasn't done.

no way they allow him to go straight in with a title shot at 155.

This still has me baffled, he didn't even put full whack into it or follow through. Absolutely delighted for Rockhold though, man's class.

Why?

I'd say he is nailed on for a title shot in his first fight at 155 tbh

Dana already said if he goes to 155 he's getting an immediate title shot.

Dana also said he wouldn't let him fight at lightweight unless he vacates featherweight, but still though, I'm pretty surprised by this. I'd imagine all 155 fighters would be pretty pissed off as well. I'd have him fight at least one top 6 lightweight first before offering him a title shot.

They can be pissed all they want but champion v champion fights is what will bring in the $$$$

Interesting to see where Conor goes in the P4P list.

As someone posted earlier in the thread, not so sure that was directed at Aldo's corner. Tj Dillashaw was sitting at that side so possibly directed at him? Not sure.

i agree 100%

An excuse was made they didn't like what he said after that it "wasn't really a fight" hence I posted that.
