Thats what i expected to happen tonight. But thats a testament to how good Rumble really is, I completely underestimated him. | ||

I'm not Joe Rogan. Nurmagomedov, Johnson, and McGregor are all seriously huge threats to their respective divisions' title-holders. Haha no if you were Joe Rogan you would say.... "He may be". Totally agree though. | ||

Hes always got that strikers chance. But Aldo has taken guys with better wrestling and as good striking to a clinic. McGregor really hasnt fought anyone good outside of Dustin Poirier. I think Frankie edgar is the number 1 contender in terms of actual skill. But he already lost to Aldo. | ||

UFC is alive and well.  Henderson getting stopped now makes more sense after hearing the press conference... his eye lid was sliced. | ||

Why do you think CM punk is in the UFC. | ||

None of Gus's past opponents punch harder than Rumble. Mcgoat beating Aldo would be much more impressive imo. | ||

Mcgoat beating Aldo would be much more impressive imo. Both Edgar and McGregor have what it takes to beat Aldo. The thing about McGregor is that he hits people really, really hard. I don't think anyone at 145 has as much striking power as McGregor except for Jose Aldo. Everyone thought Dillashaw vs Barao would be a wash too, and I think McGregor has that same style and mindset that Dillashaw had going against Renan Barao. We can't really know until fights materialize, but sometimes things go in a very pleasantly surprising way that is very inspiring to watch. Like, what if Cat Zingano defeats Ronda Rousey? Or 'someone' beats Mighty Mouse? Or Fabricio Werdum beats Cain Velasquez? It's happened before. I didn't think Chris Weidman would beat Anderson Silva, and here we are now. | ||
