Cub Swanson has a very simple explanation for Jose Aldo’s shocking TKO
“He got me with a good shot and was able to finish the fight”.
According to the Mirror, McGregor is claiming the UFC 194 fight went nearly exactly as he predicted it would happen.
“It didn’t affect me in any way, man; he may have spoken whatever”, Aldo said.
The combination of Holly Holm’s upset win over Ronda Rousey and this past weekend’s showdown with Aldo created a ideal opportunity for the Irishman to supplant the dethroned woman’s bantamweight champion as the top name in the company and he did just that on Saturday night.
“Maybe I can [demand it] these days”. His movement is silky smooth.
The Irish star possesses a punching power that has made him an undisputed world champion in just seven UFC fights.
Wherever he ends up in 2016, McGregor will remain unshakably confident in his fists and their ability to make his wildest predictions come true.
The UFC laid out two possible scenarios for McGregor.
If so, this means that Frankie Edgar could be waiting a bit to get his chance at the title.
White said he would let McGregor move up and fight immediately for the 155-pound belt, which is almost unprecedented in UFC history.
But he rejected the idea of giving up one belt to fight for another. He said that if he becomes a two-division champion, he’d defend both of them with regularity. I’m going to embarrass Jose in there.
And McGregor says whatever he does, it will sell tickets and pay-per-views. After all, he opened his UFC 194 news conference by noting that the event generated a U.S.-record gate of $10.1 million.
Newly-crowned featherweight champion Conor McGregor.
With that, it’s now time to take over the role of UFC matchmakers Joe Silva and Sean Shelby and match up some of the competing fighters with potential future opponents. But he didn’t need to, with McGregor comfortably holding court alone. Respect to a great champion in José Aldo. The wobbly Brazilian was unsure where to go when the round ended. McGregor was training and collecting unemployment at the time.
He has become a fan favourite – particularly among his countrymen, who filled Vegas’ casinos with songs and revelry before and after his victory over Mendes. “I’d love it. “[McGregor’s] flawless for [New York].
And McGregor predicts next year will be even bigger.
McGregor looked gaunt after weighing in on Friday but dismissed suggestions he can no longer make featherweight limit safely.
Kavanagh convinced McGregor to return to the gym.
“I said to [UFC owners] Lorenzo Fertitta and Dana White, I’m breaking these big numbers, I’m breaking these half a billion dollar revenue numbers like the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight”.
First and foremost is the question of whether McGregor is remaining in the division.
“When they show up and face me, they are re-energised”. I can do this.
“I’m his Kryptonite”, Edgar said.
On Saturday, he did.
