Franklin -- What would rank ahead of this as your favorite moment?

Not saying there isn't better moments than this and I may just be caught up in the moment, but that was incredible.

I'll say this -- Again, I haven't been keeping up with MMA in a while, but this brought the joy and enjoyment back of watching it.

Plus I'm definitely watching UFC 194.

Can you imagine how Dana's going to feel if Aldo does this to McGregor at 194?

@grizzly

when Rich Franklin broke his arm in the first minute of his fight with chuck and then knock him out with 6 seconds left.

when Carlos Condit came back and finished Rory in the 3rd round with like 7 second left.

But  that just my list because Rich Franklin and Carlos Condit are my two favorite fighters of all time. So I have a huge love and bias for them when it comes to ranking all time moments. This fight would be  my third favorite of all time though.

@zarog  Why?  To me, its when a fighter becomes a mainstream personality that people start hating them.  I'd rather Holm not get the kind of spotlight Ronda got.  If for nothing else, because I don't want to know if she will change as a person, because of her time in the spotlight.

I've come around to liking McGregor, but again, the MMA media (MMA Fighting) and the UFC constantly trying to shove him down our throats is what makes me want to see Aldo smash him.

It's cool when they're reporting something MMA related, but when you're writing articles because McGregor got a new tattoo, then you know you're overdoing it.
