It happens.
Plus, rushing in with a looping left hook against a southpaw with power is asking for trouble.

Dana on FS1 after the break.

Didn't Luke ask for the standup? They were speaking to each other right before the fight got stood up.
Good. The UFC can use their ill gotten gains from promoting that fraud Ronda to pay legit champ McGregor.

Felt that Herb could have stopped Weidman vs Rockhold at the end of round 3, Weidman was getting smashed and was beyond the hopes of a win at that point.

Watching the last episode of Embedded...
Aldo "my first punch will be a KO"
Aldos trainer "the first punch will put him in a coffin"
The irony.

The irony.
A southpaw with powerful boxing got him square in the jaw with a left. You can say it was just bad luck he ended up in the path of said punch so quickly, but he rushed in and got countered one way or another.
It sure was. Unfortunately it wasn't Conor's KO.
That's silly. Ignore 'em and keep it as long as you want.

Dana just said on FS1 that Kavanagh (McGregor's coach) said in the cage after the fight that he doesn't want Conor cutting to 145 again after tonight.

Dana just said if Conor moves to 155 he gets a title shot right away.
I think Cowboy would work Conor. I like him, but his size is probably his biggest asset at 145.

So once Conor moves to 155, the featherweight title gets vacated immediately?

I think Conor beats Cowboy but Dos Anjos v2.0 will give him significant trouble.

The way Cowboy got waxed by Pettis and dominated by Diaz, I think Conor would pick him apart.
Most likely. Then we get Edgar vs. Aldo II for the vacant belt.
Dana all about dat $$$. Rankings don't mean jack.

Knew Conor would KO him. Never thought it would be that fast though

This is just silly, Anderson and GSP had been dominant champions for years when this sort of talk started being put out there. Conor needs to stick with 145 for now.
I'm a McGregor fan but he needs to put one the brakes for a bit and stay focussed, because you know Aldo is coming back for a rematch.

Press conference video feed started.
He can defend both. Aldo hadn't defended in 14 months.
So was Mendes, so was Aldo, etc.

Ok fuck this shit. It's almost 1:30 and the goddamn presser hasn't started. I'll catch a youtube of it tomorrow.
Yeah I agree, just saying if he was forced to vacate or something.

I just don't see Conor's style carrying over against bigger, longer guys than himself at this level. He'll go from huge featherweight to an average sized lightweight real quick, and it'll make all the difference.

Over under on how many times the slob from mma junkies says "obviously" when asking his questions is 6.

Looks like he won't be sticking with it because cutting to 145 is to hard on him.

I highly doubt he defends both. Alternating between cuts like that would be very odd. Anything could happen I guess, but I'm pretty certain they wouldn't go that route. If he decided to go to 155, it'd be because he doesn't want to cut to 145 anymore.
Dana said that Kavanagh said that he won't be cutting to 145 anymore.

Is Conor doing an interview?

Moving up gives him a speed advantage and his technique stays the same super-high level. Size have somewhat of an effect, but it won't be nearly the difference maker you think. Especially against a guy like Cowboy. Against a super-pressure wrestler like RDA or Khabib? The size difference matters more. But not against Cowboy.
Hell yeah, he deserves the money with the hype he brings.

In that case he needs to vacate the FW belt if he has no intention defending it. But this does fuck over Aldo big time, because it doesn't matter if Aldo comes back and wins the belt again, because he didn't rematch McGregor to get it.
I'm a Conor fan and even I don't like this.

Bisping "Conor McGregor is a bigger star than Floyd Mayweather."
lol

They said only Weidman has been taken to hospital.
He held two belts in the last promotion he fought at. 145 and 155. Weight cut will be rough but if he can do it, he'll make himself and the UFC a ton of money.

No shortage of people for him to fight. Tony Ferguson called him a bitch too said he'd have no problem fighting him.

This is only my second ever UFC event. If you haven't been taken to hospital is the post-match press conference mandatory?
