Jose Aldo vs Conor McGregor - Dezember 12th

[F i n]

From this replay I can already see more power generated indeed.

Thats all im saying mr. Xant.

Of course he had to get closer and move foward cus of reach, but thats not my point. Im not judging or doubting what hes doing, im merely stating the fact that it added a lot of force to the well delivered punch and left him in a vulnerable and instable position. As a reply to butans initial post.

Look at the Ref's quick run before he even hit the ground. I'm sure the Ref was on the take just in case something like this would've happened otherwise.

Not true at all. Aldo threw a standard combination. He wasn't "literally leaning in" or "knocking himself out" or "bullrushing McGregor." McGregor just had perfect timing and accuracy. Aldo had to commit to compensate for the reach disadvantage.

I get that, but it's not like he's sprinting forward with his chin up. Wouldn't have made a difference if he was standing still, most of the force came from McGregor.

ronda rouseD.  Aldo could try to take him down after the 1st fake swing

[LordBerenger]

This is me after seeing Aldo get ''KO'd'' and realizing we all gotta live with all annoying Conor fangirls and Conor bots on youtube.

There's no " " about it.  Aldo got KO'd, pure and simple.

They should let fight go on after knockout like in boxing, looked like he could have gotten up and recovered within a 10 count.

No 10 count in MMA.  The Ref has to make a decision if a fighter can defend himself or not.  I

This would completly undermine the idea of MMA.
And furthermore it would imply a heavy risk for the fighters health.
One concussion is already bad enough. but the longterm harm done by it adds up significantly if there are several consecutive concussions.
And what clearer win can there be as one man down unable to protect himselve anymore.

More brain derpy ppl in Boxing than MMA though. Maybe getting up to be KO'd again and again isn't that healthy long term-wise.

Well if it was a dive but still took the shot it's still ''KO'd''. Inner tinfoil hatness intensifies but still.


But whatever. Overeem got a heavyweight match of the decade coming up next week. Jon Jones is back. Yoel Romero is on a warpath and is serving Jesus. And finally, UFC 200 is just around the corner. Who cares about the Featherweights?

... Why?

[Ujin]

McGregor was himself leaning out, and only threw a half assed counter.
The punch was weak but it completely shocked Aldo, cant argue against human biology I guess!
Wish it had been longer, and both opponents had been able to show how much they can sustain!
I really prefer endurance fight, I guess UFC is not for me 

It was a clean perfectly executed counter punch against an opponent who was moving forward, by a heavy-handed boxer as well. Nothing controversial about it.

Yup. The combination ALdo was throwing was good (he even connected as he was getting KOd), but Conor saw it coming and countered flawlessly. Besides, it's not a smart idea to attack a southpaw with a heavy left hand with an overextended right hook.

You can even see Aldo's toes curl up after he gets hit. How the fuck could that be a dive. That's just nerd rage now!

[Xant]

There are a lot of people trying to discredit McGregor's win by either saying it was a fixed match (lol) or that Aldo went full retard and just ran at McGregor with his chin up. Was it a good tactic to commit right off the bat, before getting the rhythm down? No, probably not, but his footwork wasn't bad and the combination he threw was a legit, standard one.
