UFC 194: Conor McGregor knocks Jose Aldo out in 13 seconds

“I feel for Jose”, McGregor said after fight, via ESPN.com.

McGregor finally got his chance at Aldo on Saturday night and took full advantage, knocking him out in just 13 seconds to set the record for fastest finish in a UFC title fight. The way the fight ended left a lot to be desired, and even McGregor admitted he wished the fight would have gone a little longer although he felt the outcome would have been the same. This apparent demand for a Conor McGregor vs. Jose Aldo rematch was also expressed by many others, including Miesha Tate.

In his first interview following the loss, a heart broken Aldo tells Combate that trying to digest the defeat is a tough thing to do. “We have to go for a rematch, and I will be better prepared to reclaim what is mine”.

Conor McGregor will remain highly active in 2016, with a plan to fight at both featherweight and at lightweight by UFC 200.

“To the naked eye it was 13 seconds, but to my team and my family it has been a lifetime of work to get to that 13 seconds”.

“We spoke (with Dana White) right after”. We’re making this sport what it is today. “Aldo’s unbeaten in ten years, he’s killed everyone that came near him so it’s a phenomenal result”, Fields declared. “Not only me but my career speaks for itself”, Aldo said.

In nearly the entire year, the fight was talked about when in January, McGregor jumped the fence and challenged Aldo to a match just moments after the Irish fighter knocked out Dennis Siver in the second round of UFC 183 at the TD Garden in Boston.

Aldo entered the cage as champion while the brash Irishman arrived as interim title-holder for a win over Chad (Money) Mendes while Aldo was out injured. We’ve been victorious many times, and now we lost. That makes us stronger. So when I go up to the lightweight, for that lightweight belt and I take that lightweight belt, I will still be the featherweight champion also.
