UFC 194: Conor McGregor KOs Jose Aldo In 13 Seconds
Much like former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey, Jose Aldo had been on top of the division since its inception.
Conor McGregor knocks out Jose Aldo during a featherweight championship mixed martial arts bout at UFC 194, Saturday, Dec. 12, 2015, in Las Vegas. Now, skilled gamers will be able to have matches that last well longer than the combined quick work of McGregor and Rousey.
There appear to be at least a few obstacles in his way.
In the co-main event, Luke Rockhold handed Chris Weidman his first defeat with a fourth-round stoppage to claim the UFC middleweight title. It marked the first time in 10 years that Aldo had been defeated, and ended the 15 fight undefeated streak he began with the WEC back in 2008.
On his UFC future:”We spoke (with Dana White) right after”.
To his critics, McGregor’s plans may sound a little too ambitious. “In case you’re curious, a more optimistic estimate for McGregor – say, a $5 PPV cut and 1.5 million PPV buys – would equate to almost $622,000 per second ($8 million total)”. “I said one round”. “But most certainly I’m looking to replicate what I achieved in my previous promotion”. I mean I’m busy. I’m busy. I stay active.
“If I go up to that lightweight division, there’s no way in hell I’m vacating my belt”, he said.
McGregor has proven to be one of UFC’s biggest draws over the past couple of years, putting on total clinics and walloping anyone that’s stepped in the Octagon with him. “I can see the lightweight belt, see how the guys get on and see how injured the victor is and do that midway between now and July”. While Aldo’s pride was absolutely bruised, the shot was so ideal, and the fight so brief, that it isn’t out of the question to run it back.
Gab is just one of Conor McGregor’s many gifts.
“I think every champion, after losing, and especially the way I lost – no excuses, I lost, he connected with a good strike and was successful – but, of course, I want a rematch”.
