Good fights but it looked like Mir was ready for hunt to jump on him he wasn't out, and Lumbard could have gotten that in the first round just like magney should have in the second, that ref was brutal

Holy shit Lombard has half of 1 round in him! That's IT!
Dude was done coming into the 2nd. I was screaming at Magney to put it on him

He blew his energy trying to finish in the first round. Very similar to what Conor did. How tough is Magny? I think it could've been stopped in the first, glad it wasn't. That comeback was up there with Edgar vs Maynard 3 or Silva vs Sonnen 1 awesome fight.

I can't believe they are doing a rematch with Diaz. What about the featherweight belt? Its hard to envision a scenario where CM can win against Nate especially in a 5 round fight. If I was Franky Edgar I would put a flaming sack of dogshit on Dana's porch.

not that long ago, a long time champion always had a chance for a rematch.
cm is running from jose aldo... cm knows the first match, was a fluke...

ROFL!
That's when it was handled like an actual sport, before opponents were hand picked

The only sellable point to McGregor v. Aldo 2 is that it was over so quick. Diaz v. McGregor 2 will sell a shit ton more PPV buys since people want to see if Mac can hang at welterweight. If he beats Diaz, that sets up the third fight + even more PPV buys + the fight with RDA. Aldo has to beat somebody - probably Holloway - in impressive fashion to make the McGregor rematch exciting

they love picking people that talk the talk, but cant walk the walk...
brock, chael, CONOR, cm punk,,, etc...
and again
cant believe they would sign a 38yr (cm punk) with NO MMA record,, but mull about resigning rory mac....
im still ROFL to the person who said CONOR havin 2 maybe 3 different weight class belts by the end of this year
LOL he couldnt even beat nate.. and nate at that time was the 10th ranked in the lightweight class..
but nate is 5th now because he beat a smaller opponent??? love how the rankings work...

thats why CONOR should fight aldo again... and prove to everybody... CONOR is not a one trick pony (1 punch)
there's a reason why aldo was fighter of the year...
ufc showing no respect for aldo

Bro, people like you would still find a reason to hate the guy. He could finish Aldo by KO again or by sub and you would still call him a pussy.
How can anybody take that seriously?

lmao "might as well fight ken shamrock." i'm not counting siver. dustin poirier is badass bro. max holloway badass. mendes didn't have a training camp but the fight was a second round ko. pretty early. toasted aldo. was beating nates ass for a round and a half. i don't know how he'll fair at 55 but he is a legit murderer at 45.
CM cant hang at welterweight, he lost to a mid level lightweight with 10 days notice. A top Featherweight with 10 days notice put him on his back for two rounds. I'm not interested in aldo either he pulls outta to many fights. Did you watch the fights last night the lombar vs magny fight was incredible. I'm probably in the minority but I wanna see the best fight the best, that's it. I want to see MMA not a soap opera. All back and forth is entertaining but I wont pay $60 watch it. I have reason to believe the outcome will be different. CM had a full camp training for someone bigger and better than Diaz and lost. Whats he gonna improve? Diaz will be in better shape this time around and he took everything CM had laughed at him and slapped him. If Diaz was smart he'd lay on the matt and let CM tap him out then they'd have to have a third fight. Its sad really,hand picked stars built from hype and not much else. RR might win the belt again if she only has to fight someone she already beat twice then they can promote her vs maywheather.
I think your gonna see fighters leaving to go to other promotions for the reasons you just said. If the only way to the top is to be Dana Whites lap dog whats the point. It'll take a couple top guys to do it first, then they will all follow.they love picking people that talk the talk, but cant walk the walk...

I try to like McGregor. He's a good fighter and funny as hell. What makes me and maybe others a little skeptical is the treatment he gets from the UFC. This guy hasn't even defended his fuckin belt yet. He loses to ND with no training camp and gives up. He quit, fell to his knees, rolled belly down picked up his head and tapped without so much as reaching for nates hand, and gets a rematch? How about he gives Mendez a rematch, how about Holm gets a rematch against Tate really close fight until the end and Holm went to sleep punching. Dilishaw vs Cruz another razor close fight. Lawler vs Condit who doesn't wanna see it? Holm vs Rousey Holm lost her rematch because as a champion she chose to fight Tate stead of waiting for rousey. How does the UFC punish a fighter and champion for choosing to fight. I think that has a lot to do with people not liking CM.
