When I watched it live, I thought Aldo slipped and went down like a fainting goat. Honestly didn't even see the punch. Connor still number one on the assholes who need to get humbled list, but who knows when that will be?
 
I hate fucking pretenders that pop in threads thinking they know anything other than choosing a fighter over another.

Fighters get caught, It happens. There's no excuses to be done. I'm personally disapointed as hell that the fight didn't have the time to actually be one.

Blame Aldo for being nervous and rushing in like an amateur against the hardest hitting striker he ever faced.
 
Now I'm glad they stacked this event because that would have been a ripoff as the only big fight. Also hoping for a rematch soon because there's barely anyone in this division that can put up a proper challenge. Edgar is the only other option.

Aldo crushed... not a good look saying it "wasn't a fight" and calling for a rematch, though.

I still love ya, Aldo, but you got beat straight up.

Yeah, it's not like anyone is going to want to see this fight again now.

They're going to make Aldo get at least 3 wins before they put him back in there.

You like me, you really really like me!
If these featherweights want a blueprint on how to give Conor trouble they need to watch the Shogun/Machida fights.

Protect your head and batter the legs. Conor fights VERY similarly to Machida.

That was lame as hell. All credit to Conor, but anyone can get caught by a freak KO punch. JDS vs Cain all over again.

Freak punch? Conor has the size advantage. Aldo started that 1,2 combo too far out against a good striker who is still fresh. That is the type of thing Aldo never does, but he looked fucking nervous as fuck before bell and he never looks nervous like this.

That punch would make Saitama blush. You could tell from the demeanor that Connor was out for blood and Aldo didn't have the fire in his gut, result spoke for itself. Great night of fights.

Well, this will go down as the perfect example of how a fight can be won before it even starts.

Hopefully, we get an actual round out of these two in the rematch.
