I'm not sure what more you can ask of a guy than finishing someone in the second round. Whom even the champ couldn't finish.
Conor didn't look 100% though. Idk maybe it was just me but he fought differently. It could also be the fact that he had trouble cutting weight.

Even though i thought Conor would win. The fight seemed strange. Chad was dominating him on the ground. Then he just got up and lit Chad up. Wonder how much money Dana and the UFC tossed Chad to throw the fight haha. Wonder if Mendes vs Aldo 3 would bring in the same amount of cash as Aldo vs Conor 1 ?

Yeah i know i'm alone in thinking this. The UFC would have lost tons of cash if Conor was beaten imo. Hope i'm wrong in thinking this. Send the rainbows my way.

I saw Robbie controlling the fight with jabs combos and stuffing takedowns.
Rory outworked in round 1 with kicks to the body. In terms of strikes landed it wasn't even close. Round 2 strikes landed were much closer, but Robbie landed the much harder shots and took the round. Round 3 Robbie was winning until the headkick, and then Rory nearly finished the fight. Round 4 I gave Rory the edge since he had a dominate first minute 30 and landed more strikes.

I think his mobility was not like usual due to knee issues..but GD did he still finish a VERY GOOD fighter and made a well deserved pay day..happy for him..hate him or love him he earns every bit if what he gets..

I want to apologize to Rory for saying he doesn't have the heart of a champion. I didn't appreciate the level of damage he sustained prior to the end. Dude's as tough as they come. My bad.
