Already, many on YouTube are scrambling to watch the Jose Aldo Knockout video since it is so insane.

My experts however, believed that McGregor would have a hard time with Aldo and the betting line leading into the fight had Aldo a slight favorite.
‘We trained hard, did everything right, and the result wasn’t positive. “It’s a sport, we have to accept. Not only from wins you live your life”.
It marked Aldo’s first loss in 10 years and extended McGregor’s win streak to 15 fights. This match was so fast that it even broke Ronda Rousey’s record for a title fight finish.
McGregor said he informed UFC bosses Lorenzo Fertitta and Dana White that he was “bringing in these big numbers”. “Then I’ll come back”.
Aldo surrendered his UFC featherweight belt with his first defeat in 10 years following seven successful defences. The former champion simply shrugged these comments off, claiming the prediction were simply unfounded.
“It didn’t affect anything”, Aldo said.
Frankie Edgar is a familiar name in the featherweight division but his stock just got a big boost when he impressively defeated Chad Mendes via knockout at TUF 22 at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas last Friday.
“I’d be floored”, he said via MMA Junkie. “That does not exist”. “If I go up to that lightweight division there’s no way in hell that I’m vacating my belt”.
No one could have predicted that McGregor would knock out Jose Aldo in the fashion that he did at UFC 194 except maybe McGregor himself.

The Brazilian, however, wanted no part of these talks, revealing his previous unblemished record in the UFC made him more than deserving of his rematch. I feel I’ve earned the right to make decisions on this, so I’ll see what way it forms. I think it doesn’t end there. He also said that he thought a rematch was in order because “it was really not a fight so we need to get back in here”. “I don’t care what he says”. While we don’t know exactly how many buys UFC 194 will total – most outlets predict well over one million. That makes us stronger.
