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

Joe shouldn't have jumped on Aldo's remark like that, I mean the guy just got knocked out and his words went though two languages and another person before Joe heard it. We need a native Portuguese speaker to tell us what Aldo said from another perspective.

Dana is probably jumping up and down with his Ireland colored pom poms like a giddy school girl now that his boy McGregor won the title.  Ugh.

Wow. What a night.

Knicks came back from 10 points in the fourth quarter. Blazers ball. Last possession. Down by 2. Lillard had a turnaround fadeaway 3 point shot at the buzzer that really looked good but missed. You guys really missed out on a sick game.

Literally the only fight the Tapology Leaderboard winner got wrong was the main event.

I missed it what did Rogan say that has everyone pissed?

Also amazing KO, think you got to give him Frankie with both coming off 1st Rd KOs. Aldo did nothing to deserve an immediate rematch, give him Holloway and then Frankie after he dethrones Connor.

@TAMANinja You don't think the fact that Aldo never lost a fight in over 10 years and has held the featherweight title for 5 years does not give him the right to request for an immediate rematch? Put the way he lost to the side, those facts alone prove worthy of an immediate rematch if Conor doesn't move up in weight class I feel. (Yes I know, poor Frankie. But considering his passed rematches I think he would understand :P)

The Frankie rematches were all after super close controversial fights. Aldo got KTFOed, how do you even sell that fight? Much easier to sell a fight with 2 people coming off KOs and Frankie also happens to deserve it and I don't think Aldo showed anything to warrant a rematch. Get one win like Cain did after JDS and you're next in line.

The Santos knockout was unexpected, he wasn't even a good dog in my book. For McGregor, I thought he would win in the second or third round. Rockhold did Rockhold.  I had Romero winning via TKO in round one.  Yancy's split decision also caught me off guard.  I thought Makdessi could have finished the fight at some point. All the other fights that went the distance was obvious.  The Maia/Gunnar fight to me was 50/50...I just went the wrong way.

You didn't put the result to the side, haha. They will do it the same way when George got knocked out. Same way when Anderson got knocked out. Same way they're going to do with Ronda Rousey. If Ronda is able to get an immediate rematch then Aldo not getting an rematch is a joke. 

You have a fair point btw, I didn't say it was going to be easy to sell. It's also highly unlikely it will happen considering McGregor wants to move up in weight. The likely scenario if Conor stays in the div would be Mcgregor vs Frankie as you said
