Congrats to Impy he called tonight’s title fights dead to the rights.
“Precision beats power and timing beats speed.” - Conor
I had him all the way but I wasn’t expecting 13 seconds!!
Interesting quote from the McGOAT!
My picks did well, other than a close loss for Souza.
I was rooting for Rockhold and McGregor to win besides, so I’m glad.
I’ll be pulling for Frankie.
I don’t dislike McGregor, but I love Frankie!
I had figured that Weidman was gonna by some luck or something but I’m glad I was wrong with my pick because I can’t stand the guy.
Just wow!
I can’t argue with that.
I am glad that he has achieved his goal. I know the dude rubs people the wrong way, and is liberal as Hell, but I enjoyed watching him coach TUF a lot, and there is no doubt that he is a talented fighter.
That was crazy! I woke up the whole house!
Great stuff. 3 new champs within a month.
I knew McGregor was gonna win as well but like you I didn’t think it was gonna be that fast. So looks like McGregor, is the real deal.
I almost wish he’d taken a 2-3 minutes to win, I enjoy watching him fight and we’ve seen little of him lately thanks to the delay.
I hope McG/Edgar is SOON! Great matchup.
He can be the most talented person in the world. It doesn’t give him license to be an a%%hole. But hey, Mayweather was one his entire career. Just don’t count on me shelling the bucks that will enrich an a%%hole!
Well, I was actually pulling for Weidman. I figured anyone who could knock out The Spyder had to have something. Hmmm, guess he didn’t have it tonight.
Or maybe, Rockhold just had a lot more of it. From the description above, sure does sound like it.
As if that wasn’t shocking enough I guess the Irishman is on top of the world now. That’s OK, I’ll just despise him even more-HA!
I’ll wait for the free re-runs.
Frankie is a like a freakin’ wolverine!
That guy has never brought a boring fight for me.
Edgar v. McGregor should be a stellar fight!
It’s a front he puts on. part of his shtick is to get under the skin of opponents and rivals, and he does a good job of it.
But under that he’s a real dude. I mean he does have actual human feelings and emotions and such.
Worst thing about him for me is that he’s a complete liberal douche, but he is entertaining as heck so he gets a pass from me.
“liberal as Hell”
Is he? I know he was for queer marriage.
It was disappointing how easily Ireland passed that. 2 largest parties in Ireland are both squishy centrist parties, I don’t know what I’d vote for over there, no real conservative party, nobody put a fight against the gays.
Anyway, I’m sure Aldo wants a rematch, I say bring on Frankie Edgar!!
That's a wrap folks. We'll be back December 19th for UFC on Fox 17 - Dos Anjos vs. Cerrone 2
Thanks for joining us! See you there!
I could be wrong but I gotta figure his persona is an act to generate hype, like Chael Sonnen’s.
Mayweather OTOH I think is a genuine d-bag for sure.
