8 years ago Today Conor Koes Jose Aldo

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

On this day 8 years Conor McGregor would end Aldo’s legendary run at the top in 13 seconds




Luke Rockhold would also end Chris Weidmans Middleweight title run, and after the fight Chris Weidman’s dad would exclaim that he was still his boy

Damn, time flies. It's been 8 years since Conor became champ, and still 0 title defense

 

[BJJ4Tone]

The whole fucking card.... I wanted to blow my brains out. <mma2>

 

[Paynebringer]

My how time flies..?

 

[MaulingMyClown]

I miss that Conor. Present day Conor is a shell of what he once was and could have been. Sad...

 

[IneedSometop]

This was my personal 9/11

 

[Reach4theSky]

The assist goes to Big John..

 

[MRT]

It is a shame that version of Conor was a relative flash in the pan.

 

[2sk]

nobody can take that left{<Mcgoat}

 

[modulus]

Time heals all wounds

 

[Frode Falch]

He knocked him down. Fat.. sorry.. big John knocked him out.

 

[Brigfa2]

He should've stay in FW

Same amount as Aldo despite Aldo getting a hell of a lot more title fights than Conor since their fight.

As a pretty hardcore Aldo fan (and a NYer,) that was not a happy night.

Possibly the last time that I got "emotionally invested" in a fighter who I don't know personally; or haven't trained with.

Interesting Conor would go on to only win 3 fights in the next 8 years, losing 4 and being finishing in all 4, with a losing record since leaving FW.

Also, Aldo is the only of the long running champs to not get an immediate rematch (with the exception of Mighty Mouse who left the UFC after the Cejudo loss).

That was a huge win for Connor. One of the biggest wins in UFC history. Amazing fight. His next fight was also a huge win.

That really was his career in perspective, two huge wins.

 

[generalyum]

As a Rockhold fan that was a great night. I felt horrible for Aldo though; one of my favorite fighters.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

That was pretty awesome.

It's probably cause he turned it down so Diaz got it instead.
