Conor McGregor raps at his Las Vegas after party
At the UFC 194 post-fight press conference, McGregor shot down any and all ideas of vacating his 145-pound title, saying instead he’d be a dual champion.
Meanwhile, Rafael Dos Anjos will defend the lightweight title on Saturday in Orlando against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, and both fighters said this weekend that they’re already confident about their chances against McGregor.
Aldo was on hand to witness McGregor’s destruction of Siver.
He caught Aldo with a perfectly placed counter left hook that sent the Brazilian crashing to the mat.
While the translator did not take Aldo’s response out of context, he left out a large chunk of what was said. “He deserved to go a little bit longer, but it was going to happen eventually”.
But as the competition level increased, the results stayed the same. Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey got wrecked in her last outing against Holly Holm and will receive an immediate rematch at UFC 200.
My experts however, believed that McGregor would have a hard time with Aldo and the betting line leading into the fight had Aldo a slight favorite.
“At 27 years of age I stand here as the unified world champion with back-to-back gate records at the MGM”.
McGregor had to lose weight to reach the 145lb cut-off for the featherweight title, and looked gaunt at the weigh-in before putting on weight for the fight the next day.
He’s also coming off an electric first round KO win over Chad Mendes on Friday night. Much respect. Thank you all!!!
As soon as the bell rang, Aldo and McGregor met in the middle of the cage.
The Irishman, undefeated in the UFC, predicts an early victory against Aldo.
“I respect Jose, I wish him well but now we are on to the next chapter”.
A Jet Blue plane en route from New York’s John F. Kennedy airport to Las Vegas ahead of the title fight had to be diverted after two passengers got in a bloody brawl on board.
Whilst also being the number one ranked pound for pound best fighter on the planet.
