The fighters are weighed in, and this **** is actually happening!!! The whole main card stayed intact!

Wow, I really didnt think it would go that quick. Wonder what excuse the doubters have now. Pay respect where respect is due. Conor said this fight would be under 4 mins. No one has ever done this to Aldo. Wowzer.

I originally posted this in the Rousey/Holm thread.

The UFC champions on January 1st, 2015.

265: Cain Velasquez - dethroned
205: Jon Jones - arrested
185: Chris Weidman - dethroned
170: Robbie Lawler
155: Anthony Pettis - dethroned
145: José Aldo - dethroned
135: T.J. Dillashaw
W135: Ronda Rousey - dethroned
125: Demetrious Johnson
W115: Carla Esparza - dethroned

Things change quickly in MMA.


Only DJ, TJ and Robbie are left standing at years end.

So happy for Conor but kinda feel bad for Aldo. Such a good champ, I do hope for a rematch for aldo's sake though.

"That was a fight, it was just a very short one."

What a snarky biased ****. **** him, I want to see Frankie Edgar destroy McGregor just so that Joe and Dana can shut the **** up. Otherwise, McGregor would be one of my favorites.

He's just pointing out the obvious XD Aldo tried to discredit this fight with that comment and Joe explained his reasoning as to why he would say that. Puts Aldo in a better light, of course he is frustrated - Not too sure what your pissed about lol.

He was right though; it was still a complete fight.  Could've happened to anyone.  That's what makes this sport great.  It's so much bigger than any one fighter.

Immediate showboating aside, I kinda like the humbler new champion version of McGregor...Hope I'm not just imagining that personality change.
