I got Conor in round 2 via TKO. He's got too much size and confidence on his side. Who you got?!
Aldo or McGregor?

I'd have to go for McGregor- I honestly think his standup is a lot better than Aldo's. Aldo is a great fighter, but he also doesn't finish a lot of fights.
Dammit.
Yeah, that's disappointing. Hopefully Aldo will be able to fight again soon. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see if Mendes can get this fight to the ground, and if so, what happens when it gets there.
Yeah, it's still gonna be a great fight. Even if Mendes does get McGregor to the ground, I still think McGregor is gonna pull out the win.
Everyone thought mcgregor was going to walk through mendes... it didn't happen. Had it stayed on the ground a little longer there is no way McGregor had it... so i'm with you... and I think Aldo will probably take it
Should be a great fight, but it seems like it won't happen until December. I have McGregor winning
I think I'm going with McGregor now. The steam he's got is too much to overcome.
McGregor talks a lot and is fairly disrespectful. He is a good fighter sure.... however my money is on Aldo. IMO McGregor is not gonna get a knockout on Aldo. McGregor does have a better strike chance (Only like 2% though), however Aldo has more experience more fights and has a better Win- Loss. Will be a good fight either way lots of talk on both sides too.
Whoa, this place still exists? Wow.
But anyway, I got Aldo by TKO. I think everything Conor does Aldo does better. Leg kicks will be the story of this fight.

Cheap plug with my predictions
Well shit.
Welp. Boy, was I wrong. I'm usually pretty good at predicting fights but holy crap.
Don't think anyone in the world predicted it to be 13 seconds. Really hope he gets an immediate rematch over Frankie Edgar.
McGregor is the real deal. UFC isn't going to put millions into hyping another 20 second knockout which is exactly why he's not getting a rematch for a while.

Aldo is the 4th longest standing champion ever, only beaten by Jones, Silva, and GSP. He deserves a rematch. He obviously was emotional and went into that fight the wrong way.
And you're acting like that "20 second knockout" was a bad investment for UFC. They made millions off of that fight and would make millions on a rematch.
They gave Silva a rematch. They gave BJ Penn a rematch. It's just customary for a dominating champion to get a rematch vs the guy that beats them, especially when it's a random knockout that doesn't actually show who has more overall skill.
This isn't a knock at McGregor. He's a great fighter, but I do believe that Aldo deserves a rematch.
But would you give it to him over Frankie? Aldo got KTFO, I'd rather he take time off and we get a match between Frankie and Conor first before the rematch.

Yes, Aldo was the #1 p4p in the world since the day Jon Jones was suspended, has been undefeated for like 10 years, and has the 4th longest UFC title reign in the history of the sport. He deserves a rematch. Long term champs get rematches, especially if they're pound for pound kings.
UFC 200 is likely the date. Should be interesting to see how this plays out...
