Bullshit, he was beat before the fight started, he prepared for this respect he would show him BEFORE the fight started, becauce ho knew he would lose, that's no champion, he will never be a champion with that attitude. That's the difference between McGregor and Mendes !!
+Marios A. smh dude. you are supposed to sell the fight. You arent supposed to be humble and nice. Chad is so trash at trash talking I knew he didnt mean it either. He seems like a nice guy.
Conor is always same to guys he defeated/was defeated from...watch interviews after fight you will see it,it is more his will to fight has cut down,he earned much money he doesnt care anymore for fight
@@creepymaster9584 even dropped from 177 to 155 what coincidence... at least khabib didn't retire mayb we can get Tony GSP or Conor rematch since I wanna see a clown getting beat again. Tony is all about respect this needs to happen. GSP would be a thing of honor to his father. I think GSP should happen so he accomplished what his father wannet. Then Tony, for the fans, this fight is cursed it needs to happen (is this gonna trigger ww3 lmao) THEN we can enjoy the clown Fiesta again. It would pleasure me.
@@gr7927 He often puts on a slightly artificial accent when talking in interviews and press conferences, I assume it's so that the American fans can understand him more easily.
The conor of 2021 is better than the conor of 2015. The problem is that he never checked those kicks from poirer. His new boxing stance is better than his old karate stance.
@@dandaniel8067 Have u not seen the adjustment he has made to his new stance. He now has a traditional boxing stance and he use to have a good karate stance. The karate stance was good for moving in and out against his opponents the only problem with the karate stance is that when he was up against the cage there was no where for him go and thats not a good stance for pocket fighting. The stance was also too wide which would have given room to alot of leg kicks and its hard to defend takedown with that stance. The last time he had that stance was against khabib and look where it led him it was hard for him to defend the takedown with his new stance he has a better chance. And if he continues with that karate stance he's gonna get beat up cause fighters are gonna figure him out. Conor is a precision and powerful striker he's able to gain more power to his shots with his left hand with that stance, its just he needs to check leg kicks and use his legs more often and he'll be OK
What an absolute class act Chad Mendes, huge respect to him. This might be my favorite UFC fight, I can’t help but shed a couple tears every time I watch this fight and the octagon interviews. The raw emotion and passion displayed by these warriors, and the support of Ireland, Conor’s family, is just so beautiful to see.
Frankie Edgar If you are the real Edgar. You already admitted you want the cash on the last conference you did. Which is fine. I would do it too. A belt is not going to put food on the table but a 500k check will.
The good old days of conor McGregor, an amazing fighter who fought his heart out, inspired millions and was a true example of entertainment and martial arts. Sad to see where hes at now and the type of person hes become. This conor and conor today are 2 complete different people 😔
I was born in Spain, my family is from Spain, both my surnames are spanish but that night I was so proud of being Irish. Thank you Connor. Thank you Ireland.
This is what UFC should be about and this is what makes it great. Fantastic performance by both fighters and sportsmanship friendly conclusion, what a highlight in fight history
I’m so glad I got to watch the Mcgregor era…. He took over the UFC man, this guy went from nothing to worth over $200+ million dollars!!!! Absolutely the most successful MMA fighter to walk this planet
I was rooting for Conor and laughing at Chad during the build up to the fight. But Chad took the loss like a true martial artist. The mutual respect between the two of them after the fight was really a nice moment. Full respect to a stand up guy!!

Example of a good fight in all ways possible-tactics,style,competition and respect for each other,many current fighters lost this and that is very damn sad...SALUT FOR CONNOR AND CHAD!
Okay okay... McGregor did well, but can we all just remember Chad took perhaps the biggest fight of his life on 2 weeks notice? Cmon, that deserves a lot of respect
Combat Sports Highlights chad does have everyones respect. fought fought his ass off. but the reality is mcgregor took his best shots with a smile on his face and chad couldnt handle mcgregors power. hed have got him sooner or later anyway. and dont forget sure chad was winning on points but he was hurt within the first minute or so with body shots that took his legs away from him, i felt it was only a matter of time
Combat Sports Highlights He knew for over 3 weeks that he would be the replacement if Aldo couldn't fight and he had to know all along that if Mcgregor or Aldo got injured it would either be him or Edgar that would have to step in as a replacement. How could he deny a fight of this magnitude? He knew he would get a lot of money (his nickname is money) and also had a chance for an interim belt, he would be stupid to turn this fight down.
Combat Sports Highlights Totally agree and respect to Chad, but neither of them were training for each other so what does it matter? Conor got blindsided by having to fight Chad too. And it's not like Chad was out of shape or anything.
Combat Sports Highlights How could I possible forget, everyone keeps banging on about it but thats not why he gassed, those kicks to the gut are why he gassed. I respect Chad for being gracious in defeat but I'm not surprised he took the fight, why the hell wouldn't he, if he wins he gets another titleshot but even if he loses he gets half a mill, his best ever payday.
this fight is legendary. opposite styles, chad fighting on short notice, conor fighting on one leg, both beating the fuck out of each other until one cant take it anymore. these dudes showed so much heart its unbelievable. (robbie and rory too)
Calvin Klein He can fight when it matters most! He has a huge heart, and He was very humble in victory. He is the real deal. Now lets see him take on Jose!
Noneymouse, I can agree that he did show holes in his game but to say his skill level is at 20% is taking it a little too far. I think he showcased good and bad things. He showed that he can take a hell of a punch. He Showed that even when fighting a wrestler he will still be just as aggressive and confident as ever. And last but not least he showed that he is without a doubt one of the best, if not the best strikers in that division. I don't think I've ever seen someone outstrike Mendez the way he did, not even Aldo. But yes I don't know if he'll have the same luck with Edgar. I'm not sure what will happen if Conor can't get the knockout or even get from off of his back. I suppose all our questions will be answered eventually....
Really not the same?? The majority of the guys in the top 10 in FW are still active fighters, and aldo has beat them all. Let's see if Conor can do that. If he's able to pull it off I don't care, I he doesn't i don't care either. I just think his fans are delusional thinking he's the greatest whe he still hasn't fought the real champ, it's not his fault it didn't happen, but if it does , let's see how long he'll stay at the top. Also, just because Weismann beat silva, does that mean Silvia's opposition were nothing compared to weidmans???
When i use to be a fan of motocross i was at a race and on the podium all of the guys have monster cans. But the winner took a sip and under the can it said water in black sharpie. I never see it written anymore but i dont think there is always monster in there
delreydavid So that justifies you saying that the UFC is sponsored by Satan? I am Luciferian. That being said, I should get royalty checks for them using our logo. Oh wait. That's right. 666 is not the mark of the Beast. If you actually read your bible, you would know that it was written upside down. Hence, keep your religious bullshit out of shit that you have 0% knowledge of.
I wasn't the biggest fan of Chad, but after seeing his post fight speech, I honestly just *can't* hate him man. What a humble guy. Great sportsman he is.
I mean I wanted Mendes to win I do feel the fight was stopped a bit early but I knew Conor was gonna win by the way Mendes was fighting. I do like how they trash talked and at the end they show eachother respect for one another it was amazing. Aldo vs McGregor will be a better fight tho
Conor 1round KO on Eddie strategy (slip Eddie strike bang left hook) (23seconds) trust me I'm a I've seen the future I had a strange black out and ever strange black out I see the future it's weird I know but watch on November 12 (remember the name) I have a strange ability to see glimpses of the future of some things I also saw the fight between Conor and Aldo and that ended the same way only it was over in 11 seconds
Happy for Conner but am also very impressed by the class and sportsmanship shown by Chad. I've been a fan of both guys for a while and am happy they showed so much class after it was over. Well done to both fighters.
What I really love about these post bout interviews is you really get to see the respect and honor of the sport. Chad could have made excuses and done heel wwe style promo for hype and potential ad revenue. He could run his mouth as a sore loser and/or claiming little preparation an an excuse for his loss but he showed respect to his opponent and Connor also deserves the same admiration for shaking hands with a defeated opponent. Pre-fight media and promos are all about hyping up a fight for PPV dollars so I put little stock in what they say before but when they get into the octagon its total war. What happens after the fight is over speaks volumes. Much respect to Chad for taking the fight and much respect to Connor for his efforts and skill in winning and being gracious in victory by shaking his opponents hand and giving respect. If you use that as a premise as to how people should conduct themselves in general, I think we would have a more peaceful and respectful world.
I would really like to know what those bigger injuries were because looking at his physique, he is not as fit as he has been in previous fights, its like he has less muscle. Oh well, job well done McGregor! Conor really impressed me in this fight, what I learned from this fight is he has bucket loads of heart and determination.
There's a rumor about his MCL being torn. When the fight started I saw his stance was different but not in a good way. He was more up right putting less weight on his legs, he wasn't circling or bouncing like he normally does. He's known for his movement and he didn't show any of it in this fight. So there must be a reason.
Natalou It was as if he shot up to age 60 years old.. It wasn't the same McGregor... It's good to see you still had faith in him though. I actually believe he's way better than this, but it was still epic.. I was meaning to ask you your thoughts on it too.
Chad Mendes is a very humble and respectful guy. It's a shame some of his supporters aren't the same! McGregor won the fight fair and square, get over it!
Conor talks a lot, but I think people were missing the fact that Chad had a chip on his shoulder as well, and he got humbled it seems. I'm glad this is over though. Mutual respect on both sides, and best of all I'm glad people that absolutely 100% doubted Conor have to accept that he's the real deal. Absolutely perfect fight card top to bottom.
ikantspelgud1 Some will never because they cant accept it. I even read some post saying fixed. These are the people who just read results of what happened and not even watched the fight. Idiots
Mr. Bosporos Chad said he is always in shape and claimed he was gonna make Conor gas with wrestling after the weight cut he had. You can't claim you're in shape, lose, then say you weren't in shape. That's not how it works. And I didn't say he was the BEST, I'm just saying he's the real deal. Obviously Aldo is the best because he's the champion, but do you seriously have to beat everyone to be considered "the real deal" ? Frankie lost to Aldo, and I still consider Frankie to be the real deal. Chad Mendes lost to both Aldo and McGregor, but I still consider him the real deal. You can have your doubts about Conor and see holes in his game, but he's now legit and proven. That's all there is to it. If Chad wasn't ready, he shouldn't have taken the fight.
Mr. Bosporos Indeed. I would. But I wouldn't make excuses and say I wasn't 100% if I was in a situation where I got beat by someone after I said he wasn't any good.
Mr. Bosporos This excuse that "chad didn't have a full camp" is invalid. Conor also had to prepare for a completely different fighter within 2 weeks. Max Holloway (A UFC top contender if you don't know) made a video saying no matter how many days Chad could've prepared for this fight, he would have still gassed out by all the body shots Conor was hitting him with. These excuses are invalid.
Bobby Nixon Complete Idiot who didn't watch the fight... Mendes was defending himself and the fight was stopped 3 secs before the rd was over. Don't make cases you are unaware of and stick to watching FREE highlights on youtube.
Phantom77083 Defending himself? My god people like you are never convinced. He was in the fetal position, hands on his head, not moving, just eating shots. That's NOT defending yourself. Give the man his dues. Hate him if you wish, but he heard that victory.
What a gentleman chad is, hats off to him man for showing nothing but respect and appreciation for the sport and Connor after losing. Such a class act ✊🏼.
Great to see that when it's all said and done, two men act like men and appreciate each other for the opportunity to have a great payday, give the fans a thrill and be a part of UFC history.
People aren't giving conor enough credit for this fight and Mendes too much. Conor stopped Mendes from doing anything dangerous on the floor and when he did attempt a guillotine he just rolled out of it. Now, conor only just started to work on mendes standing up and destroyed him.
Definitely not a Mcgreggor fan, but I can appreciate him being emotional in his interview and even after the fight. Chad is a beast of a wrestler, perhaps the best wrestler in the division, and whether or not Chad gassed out because of only 2 weeks training camp or due to Connors leg kicks , he got the win. He passed the test. Chad also took the risk of only 2 weeks training camp, he knew the pros and cons, no excuses, though I believe if he had more time it would have been a longer fight. Cant wait for Aldo vs Mcgreggor, thats the real fight everyone wants to see, and may the best man win! =)
***** ? he just said McGregor is the greatest of all time? to me that is being a troll he isn't even in the top 50 of all time he would be lucky to make the top 100.
Yeahhh My boy Conor pulled through, I may not be Irish and I may think some of his fans can get a bit annoying but U cant help but appreciate the excitement he's brought to the sport at a time where it desperately needs it. After GSP's retirement, Silva's failed drug test and the amazing Jon Jones being stripped UFC lost a lot of its WOW factor which is why its so great to see McGregor restoring new life into the UFC.
this is the conor i liked from the start, he was always about taking over and to see a guy from ireland step in it was fresh and new, a celtic warrior, but the conor now is all about the money, money this money that
My hat off to Chad for showing respect and appreciation.
Irishmick go see the go big press conference this is just hypocrisy so the fans won't boo him
Bullshit, he was beat before the fight started, he prepared for this respect he would show him BEFORE the fight started, becauce ho knew he would lose, that's no champion, he will never be a champion with that attitude. That's the difference between McGregor and Mendes !!

I don't think I've ever seen someone outstrike Mendez the way he did, not even Aldo. But yes I don't know if he'll have the same luck with Edgar. I'm not sure what will happen if Conor can't get the knockout or even get from off of his back. I suppose all our questions will be answered eventually....
When and if he beats Aldo, let's see if he defends the title as much as Aldo did.
Really not the same?? The majority of the guys in the top 10 in FW are still active fighters, and aldo has beat them all. Let's see if Conor can do that. If he's able to pull it off I don't care, I he doesn't i don't care either. I just think his fans are delusional thinking he's the greatest whe he still hasn't fought the real champ, it's not his fault it didn't happen, but if it does , let's see how long he'll stay at the top.
Also, just because Weismann beat silva, does that mean Silvia's opposition were nothing compared to weidmans???
Why they always give them a Monster drink..that drink is garbage.
Sponsor ship
mat colderley chill dude
When i use to be a fan of motocross i was at a race and on the podium all of the guys have monster cans. But the winner took a sip and under the can it said water in black sharpie. I never see it written anymore but i dont think there is always monster in there
1. They are sponsors that pay the fighters to drink it. 2. Some people like them.
delreydavid So that justifies you saying that the UFC is sponsored by Satan? I am Luciferian. That being said, I should get royalty checks for them using our logo. Oh wait. That's right. 666 is not the mark of the Beast. If you actually read your bible, you would know that it was written upside down. Hence, keep your religious bullshit out of shit that you have 0% knowledge of.
I wasn't the biggest fan of Chad, but after seeing his post fight speech, I honestly just *can't* hate him man. What a humble guy. Great sportsman he is.
3:26 Gunnar: "I think I'll go get an ice cream cone after this."
Believe Inyourself he only won by constantly poking his eyes he aint shit
Gunnar is the definition of a meme lol he's an animal
Seriously what a underdog from left field, Connor knew he was taking the belt, no matter who it was he faced. Total fire
What a guy Chad is man. He really took and accepted that loss like a man. Respect to the both of them
Conor haters excuses incoming in 3...2...1...
Th3DoM1naToR
The dumb things people are saying
1 EARLY STOPPAGE
2 IF HE DIDNT GAS HE WOULDVE WON
3 HE DIDNT GET A FULL TRAINING CAMP
4 FIGHT WAS FIXED
So Godly ya I agree on the early stoppage as a irish fan I wud hav liked ta see connor in the 3rd round
So Godly any more excuses hahaha number 2 is fucking stupid (there all stupid)
I mean I wanted Mendes to win I do feel the fight was stopped a bit early but I knew Conor was gonna win by the way Mendes was fighting. I do like how they trash talked and at the end they show eachother respect for one another it was amazing.
Aldo vs McGregor will be a better fight tho
Fakl Fa FORGOT THAT ONE
I love how respectful Chad is. Good lad.
Anybody here after 202 ?
After 203 now
Conor bless
here
Yeah, Alvarez is smaller than McGregor and he already lost mental warfare. This will be short night for Alvarez.
Conor 1round KO on Eddie strategy (slip Eddie strike bang left hook) (23seconds) trust me I'm a I've seen the future I had a strange black out and ever strange black out I see the future it's weird I know but watch on November 12 (remember the name)
I have a strange ability to see glimpses of the future of some things I also saw the fight between Conor and Aldo and that ended the same way only it was over in 11 seconds
Happy for Conner but am also very impressed by the class and sportsmanship shown by Chad. I've been a fan of both guys for a while and am happy they showed so much class after it was over. Well done to both fighters.
That's was dope you can see how proud his family is of him. Well deserved.
What I really love about these post bout interviews is you really get to see the respect and honor of the sport. Chad could have made excuses and done heel wwe style promo for hype and potential ad revenue. He could run his mouth as a sore loser and/or claiming little preparation an an excuse for his loss but he showed respect to his opponent and Connor also deserves the same admiration for shaking hands with a defeated opponent. Pre-fight media and promos are all about hyping up a fight for PPV dollars so I put little stock in what they say before but when they get into the octagon its total war. What happens after the fight is over speaks volumes. Much respect to Chad for taking the fight and much respect to Connor for his efforts and skill in winning and being gracious in victory by shaking his opponents hand and giving respect. If you use that as a premise as to how people should conduct themselves in general, I think we would have a more peaceful and respectful world.
I would really like to know what those bigger injuries were because looking at his physique, he is not as fit as he has been in previous fights, its like he has less muscle. Oh well, job well done McGregor! Conor really impressed me in this fight, what I learned from this fight is he has bucket loads of heart and determination.
McGregor looked really unhealthy for this fight. It was kind of disturbing. I can't imagine he'll want to cut that much weight again.
There's a rumor about his MCL being torn.
When the fight started I saw his stance was different but not in a good way. He was more up right putting less weight on his legs, he wasn't circling or bouncing like he normally does.
He's known for his movement and he didn't show any of it in this fight. So there must be a reason.
Natalou You were right. Conor beat Mendez on the feet. But his wrestling still sucks and it made him vulnerable in the fight.
Natalou It was as if he shot up to age 60 years old.. It wasn't the same McGregor... It's good to see you still had faith in him though. I actually believe he's way better than this, but it was still epic.. I was meaning to ask you your thoughts on it too.
Aaron The Thinker I agree :) We have not seen the best of him, I think.
Chad Mendes is a very humble and respectful guy. It's a shame some of his supporters aren't the same! McGregor won the fight fair and square, get over it!
My all time favorite post fight interview. From both sides. Respect to two awesome fighters on perhaps the best card ever. Wow.
Conor talks a lot, but I think people were missing the fact that Chad had a chip on his shoulder as well, and he got humbled it seems.
I'm glad this is over though. Mutual respect on both sides, and best of all I'm glad people that absolutely 100% doubted Conor have to accept that he's the real deal.
Absolutely perfect fight card top to bottom.
ikantspelgud1 Some will never because they cant accept it. I even read some post saying fixed. These are the people who just read results of what happened and not even watched the fight. Idiots
Mr. Bosporos Chad said he is always in shape and claimed he was gonna make Conor gas with wrestling after the weight cut he had.
You can't claim you're in shape, lose, then say you weren't in shape. That's not how it works.
And I didn't say he was the BEST, I'm just saying he's the real deal. Obviously Aldo is the best because he's the champion, but do you seriously have to beat everyone to be considered "the real deal" ? Frankie lost to Aldo, and I still consider Frankie to be the real deal. Chad Mendes lost to both Aldo and McGregor, but I still consider him the real deal. You can have your doubts about Conor and see holes in his game, but he's now legit and proven. That's all there is to it. If Chad wasn't ready, he shouldn't have taken the fight.
Mr. Bosporos Indeed. I would. But I wouldn't make excuses and say I wasn't 100% if I was in a situation where I got beat by someone after I said he wasn't any good.
Mr. Bosporos wasn't it the several body shots he hit Mendes with throughout the fight
Mr. Bosporos This excuse that "chad didn't have a full camp" is invalid. Conor also had to prepare for a completely different fighter within 2 weeks. Max Holloway (A UFC top contender if you don't know) made a video saying no matter how many days Chad could've prepared for this fight, he would have still gassed out by all the body shots Conor was hitting him with. These excuses are invalid.
This was the peak of Conor, not the first belt, not the second belt. Look, his family, wife, coaches, Artem, Gunnar. What a scene
Love Ireland. All the tough times in the past has bred a nation of true fighters. Fighting runs in their blood. Respect from Denmark.
WHAT ARE YOU CONOR HATERS SAYIN NOW???? HAHAHAHA
Mendes wasn't defending himself... it was stopped correctly.
ALFREDO ORTIZ Chad was a harder fight that Aldo
Bobby Nixon Complete Idiot who didn't watch the fight... Mendes was defending himself and the fight was stopped 3 secs before the rd was over. Don't make cases you are unaware of and stick to watching FREE highlights on youtube.
Bobby Nixon Aldo and Franky
Phantom77083 Defending himself? My god people like you are never convinced. He was in the fetal position, hands on his head, not moving, just eating shots. That's NOT defending yourself. Give the man his dues. Hate him if you wish, but he heard that victory.
If only mcgregor was still passionate about fighting right now
oj1101 I loved Conor at 145 he was such a beast as a featherweight
The king is back
I loved McGregor but he ain't back ..he ain't the same
msheehan18 he is
@@TrueBullsfan23 he's not
We need this conor back.
This is motivated McGregor
Current Dustin would've starched this McGregor too
@@popeurbainii7807 current Dustin is a different breed, his progression is crazy
Classy interviews from both guys
What a gentleman chad is, hats off to him man for showing nothing but respect and appreciation for the sport and Connor after losing. Such a class act ✊🏼.
Great to see that when it's all said and done, two men act like men and appreciate each other for the opportunity to have a great payday, give the fans a thrill and be a part of UFC history.
The best main card the UFC has ever had. Every fight was awesome
Wow.....after 7 years, Chad is still one of the most humble dude...
chad is the real hero... humble king
Go Big press conference says otherwise. "Bla bla bla bla bla"- Chad Mendes
HahahahHahahaha
Undisputed ik aye? Never seen this but he was so humble here hahahaha
at go big just wanted to fight him again for that payday I think hahahha
People aren't giving conor enough credit for this fight and Mendes too much. Conor stopped Mendes from doing anything dangerous on the floor and when he did attempt a guillotine he just rolled out of it. Now, conor only just started to work on mendes standing up and destroyed him.
Chad landed some killer elbows
Definitely not a Mcgreggor fan, but I can appreciate him being emotional in his interview and even after the fight. Chad is a beast of a wrestler, perhaps the best wrestler in the division, and whether or not Chad gassed out because of only 2 weeks training camp or due to Connors leg kicks , he got the win. He passed the test. Chad also took the risk of only 2 weeks training camp, he knew the pros and cons, no excuses, though I believe if he had more time it would have been a longer fight. Cant wait for Aldo vs Mcgreggor, thats the real fight everyone wants to see, and may the best man win! =)
so fucking awesome to see the amount of respect theese guys have for each other
I'm impressed by how humble Chad was after the fight!
He looks exactly like his parents
V Ling don't say
The man that made me and a lot of people fall in blind love with this sport.
0:27 HIGH FIVE BRUH... euh nvm.
Yush Rajcoomar his arms where so tired
Chad was so close, he gave an incredible fight, those takedowns and elbows. And it was 2 weeks notice, omg
That was the most emotional McGregor has ever been publicly. Dude had to hide the tears from the overwhelming emotion
We need to start a petition for chad mendes to be a hall of famer, his only losses were against absolute legends
Mcgregor vs Mendes 2 needs to happen
Steroids
He was never on steroids you ignorant fuck. It was a peptide used for his psoriasis
Hahahah butt hurt much?
it was some kind of skin cream
Gosh this was so beautiful, so much heart shown from everybody right there🤗
Love him or hate him the mans an inspiration, respect!
GOAT MCGREGOR
marentes133 Troll
***** ? he just said McGregor is the greatest of all time? to me that is being a troll he isn't even in the top 50 of all time he would be lucky to make the top 100.
Paul Atreides He is still a troll for putting GOAT even in the same sentence as him he will never be a GOAT or even close.
Ha ha your the fuckin TOOL get over his MASSIVE VICTORY
And we HAVE taken over!!
Conor is a real one. Two tough men going at it like champs, much respect
My respect for Chad skyrocketed after this, now that's a true man
I miss these days
Yeahhh My boy Conor pulled through, I may not be Irish and I may think some of his fans can get a bit annoying but U cant help but appreciate the excitement he's brought to the sport at a time where it desperately needs it. After GSP's retirement, Silva's failed drug test and the amazing Jon Jones being stripped UFC lost a lot of its WOW factor which is why its so great to see McGregor restoring new life into the UFC.
this is the conor i liked from the start, he was always about taking over and to see a guy from ireland step in it was fresh and new, a celtic warrior, but the conor now is all about the money, money this money that
Can't believe this was 4 years ago. McGregor's Era man.
Respect to Chad Mendes. BOTH are fucking Warriors. Conor MCGREGOR will run through Jose Aldo
Chad's a humble guy. Much respect to him
You can tell this was big because Gunnar is smiling!
Absolutely inspiring.
(C) Aldo Vs (IC) Mcgregor. (C) Weidman Vs #1 Rockhold. Man, would that be a hell of an event!
Gonzalo Mendez Romero-Jacare on that bitch as well, #1 contender fight.
Agreed that would be insane
Gonzalo Mendez Cathal Kingship
Oh my God you guys.. That card is insane!!! I doubt Dana agrees though lol
Gonzalo Mendez Aldo vs Mcgregor
Jacare vs Wierdman
Cathal Kingship Plus Edgar vs Mendes No.1 contender fight.
