Chachie Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 All Rogan can say is "Wow." This was the best card I've seen in a long time. Congrats to Conor. Kudos to Mendes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor703 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Damn, got one wrong lol. Didn't care for Herb Dean too much tonight but it was an excellent fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoaster Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah... something weird about that fight. I don't think there was anything weird. Because if there was anything weird, that puts Alpha Male's integrity in question, and that is the last group of guys that I would question. All Rogan can say is "Wow." This was the best card I've seen in a long time. Congrats to Conor. Kudos to Mendes. Incredible care. That's all I can say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Do Itch Big Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I can't believe Chad gassed. But he absolutely did.He only had 3 weeks to prepare. Edgar and Jose both beat Connor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket442Olds Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 People keep talking **** about McGregor. Mendez went for a finish and let Conor up. I commend him for that, better than the typical 5 round lay on top method that bores everyone to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Do Itch Big Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Maybe Connor broke Chad's rib? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Mendes literally could have stayed in full guard the rest of the round with ground n pound. Next round, take him down do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor703 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Yeah... something weird about that fight. Seemed like an early stoppage but Mendes gassed big time. That was odd to see that from him. McGregor has ZERO shot against Aldo. Edited July 12, 2015 by Taylor703 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoaster Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 He only had 3 weeks to prepare. Edgar and Jose both beat Connor. Good point. And I honestly thought that Mendes was just as hard of a fight would have been as Edgar. I love Frankie, but Chad is a tough SOB, with an element that Conor has never seen. Maybe Connor broke Chad's rib? I would not be surprised. Those early body shots were nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I think Edgar beats McGregor now too, he won't gas and will spam takedowns all night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if there was anything weird, that puts Alpha Male's integrity in question, and that is the last group of guys that I would question. I just watched the obviously faster stronger fighter that has had wars in the UFC gas from being on top in round 2. Somethings off. Best case scenario, Chad didn't have time to get in fight shape or he had an early injury. Bottom line that wasn't the Chad Mendes we've seen before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 McGregor is 2nd best striker in the division, can't wait to see the contrast in striking between him & Aldo Conor carries his hands low and Aldo is the fastest thing than Conor has ever seen. Can't wait for that fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 There was a hot minute I was sure McGregor would lose. Holy **** what a fighter!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commend him for that, better than the typical 5 round lay on top method that bores everyone to death. It's not about talking **** about McGregor but he was getting dominated until Chad gassed. Aldo would murder him and I'm sure Frankie would put him to work too. I like the guy but he just doesn't impress me as a fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best case scenario, Chad didn't have time to get in fight shape or he had an early injury. Bottom line that wasn't Chad Mendes. Chad took the fight on two weeks notice. Edgar will take Connor down easily. Jose also has great takedowns and amazing guard passing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best case scenario, Chad didn't have time to get in fight shape and came in woefully unprepared. I don't know about faster. Absolutely stronger. Conor hit some huge body shots early, and apparently they took their toll. I think you are looking into this too much, but we will have to disagree. Let's listen to some Bob Seger and hug it out.

Destino Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I don't know about faster. Absolutely stronger. He had a massive reach disadvantage and managed to land punches and score huge take downs with ease. He was MUCH faster. If we only look at hand speed, maybe it's a conversation. The speed differential between Connor and Aldo is going to be significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
