Yeah it should have been, he took way too much punishment, he was clearly not coming back from it.

Wow. Conor definitely isn't the first trash talker and won't be the last. He also hasn't hit any pregnant ladies and run back to the scene to check on the welfare of...his drug paraphernalia. THAT'S some sideshow shit right there.
You realize how much money he made the UFC right? Almost on his own. Of course he needs a good opponent, but he's a walking promo. He showed the guy respect post fight.

Shit the still shot of when Conner connected on FS1 really shows how hard he did hit him. lol

You have no idea what you are talking about.
What Conor did was a perfectly executed strike, hitting his opponent in just the right spot as he was swinging which is the worst time to get hit.
Comparing Aldo's punch to Conor's in that moment leaves a gigantic gap in the skill used to set up and throw them.
I never get the obsession that some MMA fans have with dumb shit like "respect" or "class." Honestly, who cares?

I agree with Herb Dean not stopping it. The round was ending and Weidman was still defending himself. He came out in the 4th still game.
Ok son.
Haha how is that the worst? That's like schoolyard trash talk. If Aldo actually let that get to him I doubt he would've made it this far in the fight game. Aldo simply got caught up in the moment under the lights. Featherweight has never had that sort of pressure and prime time exposure until now. Throw that on top of the pressure he had from pulling out of the first scheduled fight and you could see it in his face and body language before the fight even started.

Yeah, but you're talking about people getting exposed. If you want exposure go look up Rousey vs Holm or DC vs Jones. The latter wasn't even a knockout but he made DC look like an impotent tool that couldn't do anything.
I refuse the notion that you can be exposed via a flash KO in the 10th second of a fight. It defies any kind of critical thinking.

Even if there was a 10 count in the UFC, I don't think Jose would have made it. Damn fine punch. I kept telling all the naysayers the Conor could do it.
Fuck ESPN, but I'm right there with them on this one. Herb Dean had me shouting at my TV yet again. Weidman being allowed to continue after being so wobbly going to his corner was boxing levels of disgusting.

Lol why are people crying over paying and "it's not a real fight because it's over fast"
What's your solution tell Conor "to give Aldo a chance because he's nervous" "hit him softer so people get their money's worth"
Aldo decided to go all in Coner took the Trade and won, which means he out judged Aldo, which mean he outfought Aldo
Yeah Conor is a cocky shit, but don't let salt blind your logic

I like Frankie vs. Conor next.
They're both presumably healthy due to having very quick fights. That means they can get in there and fight with a fast turnaround -- which, as a fan and viewer, is appealing to me. Jose has to recover from a KO which usually takes more time than, you know, not getting knocked out.
Let Jose fight Holloway or for a title eliminator if he wants maybe, but Frankie Edgar should get a title shot.

Cain buttfucked Dos Santos twice after getting one-shotted by him. We didn't get a full display of how these guys match up other than knowing Josie was shook by Conor's mindgames.

Cause you can't be respectful with personallity? Can't be a great champion or great fighter with personallity without being a bitch? Charisma comes from insulting, taking belts from tables, yelling like a kid and flipping off people? Get the fuck out peter pan.
Being a big mouth and acting like a bitch sells tickets, what's new?! I'll still be waiting for a rematch that will be a actual fight. Any clean punch can knock the fuck out anyone, that's no news. It's been there from the very first day. Let him do that a second time against Aldo and I'll have nothing to add but once in 13 seconds? Yeah that's more luck than anything.
Your boy got laid the FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK out
Yeah, that would be great. I hope Conor McGregor can stay healthy for a long time, even though he's already had a couple knee injuries. So many fun matchups for him.
That went on for at least 30 straight seconds. Weidman's defense consisted of having his gloves over his face and taking a brutal beating for half a minute or more. Just because he wasn't out cold doesn't mean he was defending himself.

If Cain gets a rematch after looking like shit against Werdum, Aldo should get one after coming out jittery and getting flash KO'd.
Yoel would be an interesting challenge. Granted, I thought Jacare did enough in the third round to secure the fight, but we've already seen the two of them fight.

Hopefully it's Herb Dean.
Yeah for sure. Intelligently defending yourself doesn't mean just holding your hands against your face while the guy bashes them in to it and splits your face open. He wasn't trying to avoid them at all.
You must be new to this. They talk all the shit in the world before the fight, try to get in to each others' heads and sell tickets. After the fight is over they're besties. It isn't anything new, its been going on forever.

I think so too, I feel like Dana white dislikes Frankie enough to give Aldo an instant rematch, lol.

Come on, even the haters have to admit that will go down as one of the most memorable moments in the history of the sport.
After all the talking.
The postponed fight.
The hype about Aldo's kicking.
ALL THE CHAT of McGregor is all mouth, he would need to fight someone of note, actually someone in the top ten, alright the top five, I mean he will never beat Aldo.
The McGregor fans are allowed this one.
"Go and get your fucking shinebox!"

That Weidman fight definitely should have been stopped.
For those saying that Mcgregor got lucky or it wasn't a real fight, not sure what to tell you guys.

Man you're really, really angry. Calm down amigo.
Herb Dean is known for ending fights prematurely so it's good he didn't for once.
