Jose Aldo vs Conor McGregor - Dezember 12th

[Molly]

Fixed match is obvious bullshit which is for everyone to see (curled toes) and if Aldo went full retard it's his own fault.

Besides, Aldo was fully teared up after the knock out. That fucking beast of a fighter was crying.
I personally think that McGregor got in his head. When you're undefeated for 10 years (!) and suddenly someone appears who has obviously all the skill and tools to defeat you, that's adding pressure. Not to mention all the shit McGregor pulled on him...

I do hope for a proper re-match in 12 to 18 months tho.

[Grytviken]

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.

His combination was bad, that's why he got knocked out. Who starts a fight off with a right hook into a left hook against a southpaw who has a reach advantage?

Don't know? Aldo didn't throw a right hook in the match.

so I've been waiting for this for 2 months since I jumped on the hype train
they should just reset and do fight number 2 after 2 mins

Imagine how people that paid to watch the fight must feel.

He feinted one or drew it back right before he threw the left one.  Watch the replay

Yes, I watched it. It was a feint, and looks more like a straight than a hook. Nothing wrong with that combination.

Fighting against southpaw is difficult, you want to step to the outside of their lead foot, usually this is done moving forward with a jab or slipping a punch. He feinted a right hook into a left hook, prolly the most dangerous combination against a Southpaw.

He didn't. He feinted a right straight, which would have worked except McGregor didn't buy the feint for some reason. Could be he didn't even see it coming and just got lucky. If Conor had tried to block it he wouldn't have been able to throw a left hook, which would have allowed Aldo's left hook to hit him first. Instead Conor went for his own left hook, completely ignoring the feint. Which would have been bad for him, had it not been a feint.

Look at the gif. Conor's chin is completely open, and the only thing saving him is that Aldo doesn't commit with his right.

Noone would buy that feint, it was impossible to land from that distance.

[Butan]

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.

I dont think this is a controversial match, just the weakest way it could have ended    super fast and with a surgically-precise half assed strike.

I guess the #1 p4p fighter doesn't know as much about feinting as you, then.
