Slow-mo of the knockout punch:

Been reading all the hype and fallout from Conor's epic win on the internet and social media. Its a big deal in putting a knife into the back of caste system for the time being. Also, it was needed due to the robbery of Christian McCaffery's Heisman. Much needed.

I'm glad he whooped Aldo & took the strap off a non-White. However, the sawed off little paddy needs to keep his pinko trap shut on politics. He's paid to fight & entertain...not grandstand on libtard malarkey! >:-(

I don’t like the guy at all, but I actually found myself feeling sorry for Jose Aldo. Training for over a year, only to get KO’ed in 13 seconds by a guy that humiliated, mocked, and belittled you in the public eye for so long must really sting. Aldo was clearly crying after the loss and is rumored to be considering retirement at age 29…

In the post-fight interviews, McGregor stated that he’ll be moving up to Lightweight Division, but will not vacate the Featherweight Title. I’ll be pulling hard for Donald Cerrone next week against Dos Anjos. Should he win, the UFC would have 6/10 white champions…
Middleweight – Rockhold
Lightweight – Cerrone
Featherweight – McGregor
Bantamweight – Dillashaw
W. Bantamweight – Holm
W. Strawweight - Jedrzezczyk
Best case scenario going forward – Cerrone win and Gustafsson/Bader eventually win the LWH title.

Congrats to Conor! I knew he'd win but not in 13 seconds! McGregors boxing background means he has heavy hands and flash ko power. It's impressive.

I too am glad that Conor won, but I agree with Thrashen in that I feel somewhat sorry for Aldo. I've watched a lot of the pre-fight videos and Aldo seemed to have a very humble personality. I'm typically supportive of those that have that attitude, as it's typically Whites that embody it. I don't know much about Aldo's past, so I don't know if that's an accurate description of him or not. I'm only going by videos I've watched over the past six months or so.
However, disproving the Caste system takes precedence over any "concern" or "respect" I have for Aldo due to his supposed "humble" attitude, so I have to go with Conor. I believe most of the pre-fight rhetoric and antics of Conor is really just to promote and sell the fight, kind of like Ali, like when he fought Foreman in Africa. It gets the headlines. It's actually good to see a White fighter like Conor have the super confident attitude that he has, as that's been the primary psychological target of the Kosher media against Whites for decades. Post-fight, Conor was actually very respectful and classy towards Aldo.
Anyway, to get to DixieDestroyer's point, here's Conor in the gym sparring with "Mountain" the "giant" that was on the HBO series "Game of Thrones". There's an array of national flags hung up in the Dojo, including the "Rainbow" flag:

Heretic, Aldo is indeed a humble, decent guy. He grew up dirt poor in one of the many ghettos in the multicultural hell that is Brazil. He started training in MMA out of necessity because he was being attacked by thugs in the streets so frequently. Unlike a lot of other Brazilian fighters (drug cheats, sons of fathers that own gyms), it doesn't seem as though he's benefitted from anything but his own hard work.
I'm glad McGregor won, but I wish the fight had ended under more respectable circumstances. Perhaps if Aldo had the vile personality and sordid history of, say, Jon Jones, I'd surely revel in his misery.
As Kaptain said, McGregor is far from perfect. He's pro-immigration, pro-******, hates Donald Trump, blows money on ultra-expensive cars and listens to rap. Nevertheless, he'll likely inspire far more Europeans to break through in MMA.

I suppose its good for some and many that McGregor won, to be frank I'm not aware that black MMA fighters are perceived as naturally dominant.
UFC is some sport it is, pounding on an unconscious man's head while he's down is just how its done>>>
And by the by, it is not so much that Mcgregor has "heavy hands" or "unreal power", look closely, really closely, at the fight again and watch Aldo leave his feet to throw an unprotected lead right to the body only to get countered by a check left hook! In other words, Aldo knocked himself out by leaping head first into a punch. Real elite fighter that Aldo is!

Interesting clip. Hafthor & I are similar sizes (sans his 1" & 30-40 lbs), so I can see how I'd size up against Connor. While the Nordic giant is ions stronger than me (albeit much younger), I have much quicker hands (from training MTKB). However, I'd like my odds against Connor more than against the Icelandic beast. ;-)
Did anyone catch the vile hispanic wigger Nate Diaz's f-bomb-laden rant last night calling out McGregor? FOX had to basically mute his entire post-fight speech because of his language, but he called out McGregor and said he was 'coming for him' or some nonsense. Hopefully this rat Diaz ends up just like Aldo did.....

He's full of beans like his brother...except Nick has a better chin. Connor would hand Nate(dine) his backside. Diaz is just trying the verbal hype to land a money drawing fight against McGregor.
Connor mcgregors an odd case for us guys, on one side he has a horrible attitude, money driven, listens to rap, horrible political views etc.
On the other hand though he literally has not only busted yet another caste myth but actually destroyed it, as i said hes like christiano ronaldo, novak djokovic, wladimir etc, hes so athletic. He has very long legs and arms for his height, incredible movement and flexibility. Name me a more athletic mma fighter from any race than him? He has black people nuthugging him.
Only george saint pierre gets close imo.
Props to aldo though who had big respect to fedor and said fedor was the best ever. So although hes black i agree with some other posters in that hes likable.
