Jose Aldo vs. Conor McGregor

[chambers]

sucks that it went so quickly. Knocking him out was really McGregor's only chance at a win.

Hopefully they have a rematch because I'd love to see McGregor handle a world class grappler for a few rounds.

The Rockhold/Weidman fight was awesome.

Yeah. Agree on all points.

Weidman paid for a mistake he made, dearly. And to an extent so did Aldo.

But I want a McGregor vs Aldo rematch. Aldo is the P4P best fighter, and McGregor is as cocky (with results) as it could be. I want that fight to go longer.

McGregor is a very good fighter. Top 4/5 in the world, but he's got severe leaks on the ground which a guy like Aldo will exploit.
McGregor comes across as a Chael Sonnen level Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.bag, but I don't think he's really like that- it's a mental game and a way to make some serious $$$ from hyping up the fight.

The remtach will be huuugggggeeeee so hopefully it's sooner than later.

You get knocked out like that, you go to the back of the line.

You'd think so normally, but
1) this was the biggest gate in UFC history, so a rematch could make even more money.
2) When you're the champion, undefeated in 10 years, and arguably best pound for pound fighter in the world, you get a rematch regardless of the method of loss.

From the UFC's perspective there's way more money to be made in an Aldo vs McG part two vs a McGregor vs Edgar fight.

McGregor vs Aldo could be an epic three fight money maker for the UFC.

If it wasn't 13 seconds I would agree, but the reality is, you have no idea who is the better fighter because the fight was so quick.  I mean if McGregor had been beating him up for a round or two, and then knocked him out like that, a rematch would make a lot less sense (though for the reasons chambers says still might happen), but 13 seconds you learn nothing about either fighter nor who is better.  McGregor hits hard and if he connects you can knocked out, but everyone already knew that. 

I can point to the Dos Santos/Velasquez trilogy for an example.  JDS knocks Cain out about a minute into the first fight.  The next two fights are just complete domination by Cain.  Cain clearly the better fighter.  Now I'm not saying Aldo will do the same thing to McGregor, but when a fight is so quick you don't really know.

That's like saying you should keep playing the NBA Finals until one team wins four games by double digits, just to make sure they are the better team.

And frankly, the most money to be made is in feeding McGregor a couple of tomato cans before another Aldo fight.

Wow.

I have knocked out some big drunk dudes in my time. I would NEVER let them politely ask for a rematch.
