    Very surprised Alvarez had nothing for him. Poor from Alvarez. He's capable of a much better showing than that.

    I think after the first time he got caught he just panicked, got flustered and was treading water from there on.

    To the trolls who have decided to land in to give us all their expert thoughts on Conor and the fight..kindly turn around and go back the way you came in. If you dont have anything constructive to say dont bother posting and save yourself a ban.

    Who is this aimed at?

    Yeah in public fronting imo, he couldnt take the build up never mind a fight.

    Yes. Alvarez is a great fighter but Conor dominated and it wasn't because Eddie had an off night. He tried everything but Conor made it look easy. Ruined him on the feet and stuffed every take down attempt.

    That was a historic performance by Conor and that's not an exaggeration. I don't think I've ever seen a champion lose in such a dominant fashion.

    New posters are more than welcome..idiots landing in who have nothing constructive to say and make comments like he only won because its a fix etc are better off not posting and going back about their business elsewhere.

    presser starting. individual fighter which is a great idea IMO but could be a while before conor shows up.

    karolina up first

    Dana is looking very flustered on the Fox post fight show.

    What's the hell are you talking about ? He lost his belt which he had a decade and immediately called for a rematch. He didnt get it so he went back and he fought for the right to get a rematch.

    And you think that's all "public fronting" and he's not mentally strong enough to handle promoting or fighting ?

    Genuine question, after that masterclass do people still think Khabib would dominate McGregor?
    Seems like Khabib would shoot and McGregor would use range and reach to connect

    That's two belts now won by basically embarrassing the champion.
    As in the champion didn't even compete.

    Yeah I dont think he could do promotion with Conor never mind fight him, Conor has already echoed my thoughts Aldo is happy to be ''fighting'' with the UFC.

    From MMAfighting.com


    The company announced a $17.7 million gate at the world's most famous fight venue, the single largest take in the company's 23-year history.
    Additionally, several fighters went home with an extra $50,000 apiece after winning the UFC's nightly postfight bonuses: Conor McGregor and Yoel Romero both took Performance of the Night honors, Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson won Fight of the Night honors.

    Yeah he didn't look overly happy. Mentioned JJ gone to hospital? Nasty looking swelling over her eye.
