Haha, is Max gonna go and get his hand raised or is he fleeing the arena?

Okay, he's back, lol.

 

[GalacticToast]

lol

Can you fill out this lottery ticket for me?

 

[Jean Valjean]

Yeah Conor got "lucky". Pfft.

Yeah, this Aldo guy is a chump... why people keep bringing him as Conor McGoat biggest win I can't understand.

 

[Instro]

It's interesting that Aldo never threw any leg kicks, I wonder what happened there.

 

[BadAss2961]

This is good for the division. It can move on now.

Great as Aldo has been, he'd always have that stain on him from losing to Conor and still being champ.

 

[Macattk15]

Come back and starch Holloway Conor.

 

[bbd23]

YES HOLLOWAY!

 

[strikeselect]

Aldo has officially hit can status.

 

[IKizzLE]

Sooooo, no leg kicks?

 

[Obliterator]

lol

Impressive.

Aldo looked real rough coming out to the 3rd. His gas tank was gone. Excellent performance by Holloway

 

[polyh3dron]

Haha, is Max gonna go and get his hand raised or is he fleeing the arena?

Okay, he's back, lol.

Trying to oneup Aldo's iconic crowdsurf after KOing Mendes, lol

 

[BaroqueSampson]

Okay, he's back, lol.

Thought for sure he was already on his way to the airport lmao

What does that make Frankie then???

 

[Levito]

Aldo has officially hit can status.

*Keyboard warrior rings in*

 

[Rur0ni]

Aldo has officially hit can status.

I thought he fought well. Max made it a brawl though and could eat shots. Fun fight.

 

[GalacticToast]

McGregor Stans are the worst

 

[broz0rs]

This was like when Dillashaw beat Barao. Sad to see Aldo lose, but so happy for Holloway.

 

[Fox318]

Frankie will get that belt.

 

[Chesskid1]

sad to see aldo lose again

hes like a staple of mma for me, not many left

end of an era

 

[selo]

Yes!! Go Holloway, I knew if something weird didn't happen, he'd take it. Hopefully this will humble Aldo, he never really accepted the loss against McGregor.

 

[polyh3dron]

Champ begging for a 50K bonus. lol

 

[dreamfall]

YAAAAAAS! Let's go! The Holloway era. Give Frankie a last title fight...

 

[Mrstriker09]

Frankie happiest guy in the world right now lmao

 

[BeatnikGunsoo]

Champ begging for a 50K bonus. lol

Yeah makes the ufc look bad lol

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

Go retire you crybaby.

Blessed are we.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

First thing Claudia should do is move and do Triathalons with the Diaz brothers.

 

[Syder]

That KO ruined José, unfortunately.

I don't think the gastank was Aldo's problem tonight. He let Holloway in and Max took the invitation.

 

[ldcommando]

Did Aldo bust his foot on the way to the octagon or something? Where were the kicks, man?
Nice win by max.

 

[GalacticToast]

Go retire you crybaby.

Blessed are we.

*Keyboard warrior rings in*

[Obliterator]

Yeah Frankie vs Holloway is the fight that makes the most sense. And its a fresh match up.

Frankie Edgar is dancing in the streets right now.

 

[Dysun]

Aldo looked great early, but Max is legit. Frankie Edgar coming to point fight him in a boring contest soon though

 

[Rumblebones]

It'll be interesting to see if the UFC will give Aldo an immediate rematch.

I think Aldo is either retiring or going to take a break and let Frankie/Holloway fight it out and then come back for the winner.

Also distinct possibility he'll get a tune up fight taking on Cub again.

 

[pixelation]

Holloway looks like one of Speedy Gonzales sidekicks (one of those tall lanky goofy looking rats) and he is actually a real life doofus with the dork ass things he says and how he clowns around in the octagon, i can't respect him honestly... Holloway era my ass.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Ufc Hawaii pleaseeeeeeee

Somewhere Conor is laughing.

 

[Oscar]

McGregor vs Holloway II could sell, assuming Conor comes back to the division.


Holloway had his moments in the Conor bout, but he's evolved as a fighter. TKO'd Pettis and Aldo? Let's go.

Aldo's chin can't hang with his stand and bang style, he's like 100 in fight years. Conor would have slept him again.

Holloway has a retarded strong chin and his fight IQ has improved tremendously, I'd be excited for that rematch with McGregor.

You might not respect him as a person and that's fine, but as an MMA fighter how can you not?

 

[Levito]

It'll be interesting to see if the UFC will give Aldo an immediate rematch.

Why would they? He got finished badly.

They'll give the title shot to Frankie.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Somewhere Conor is laughing.

Why???

 

[Obliterator]

Max is one of these dudes I keep underestimating and picking against and he keeps proving me wrong every fight.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Thank you Max. Thank you.

lool i know what you are saying but he is pretty damn amazing fighter, hes growing on me

 

[ldcommando]

I'm happy for Frankie though. It's going to be a great fight.

 

[Bishman]

All my favorite fighters dropping likes flies. =(

 

[GalacticToast]

Why???

Because his fans who started following MMA with him say so.

 

[Levito]

*poster from neogaf.com who can't detect sarcasm rings in*

It was some ace Joe Rogan-level sarcasm deployed there, Joe.

 

[PaulKersey]

Come back and starch Holloway Conor.

Lol, wasn't Aldo supposed to do it?

Conor ain't going back to 145, anyway.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Max is one of these dudes I keep underestimating and picking against and he keeps proving me wrong every fight.

He doesn't look like a killer but looks can be deceiving.

Conor tore his ACL early in that fight. I don't see a rematch playing out the same way at all, but I also don't see him cosplaying as Skeletor again to make the fight happen.
