  1. DannyMorrs McGregors performance was text book in that he weathered the storm and then just stepped up a gear and finished him.

  2. GBDazzler  "mcgregor has the wrestling of a high school girl." SO what you are saying is that Mendes could not beat a high school girl.

  3. Randy JP He weathered the storm that Mendes threw at him.

  4. Randy JP As stated by you " if you call that a storm........then the punishment stephens got from bermudez must've been a cataclysmic disaster" I have stated that McGregor had weather a storm from the best in the business. I have stated how McGregor had done this technically not buy luck. McGregor had a far better technical fight.

  5. wrtghgyh Oh no the Elbows to the head, kicks to the body and punches to the head had nothing to do with it. We all know that you are super hard and could last that easily.

  6. Nicolas LESTELLE The Elbows to the head, kicks to the body and the punches that McGregor landed all took their toll. Then there is the fact that Mendes through everything he had at Mcgregor and this caused him to gas.

  7. firdaus125 If a fighter is rolled up in a ball and not defending him self then the ref will stop the fight. Get over it fan boy.

  8. John Smith Mendes gassed because he threw everything at McGregor. It took so much energy from him that he was heart broken and drained. in other words he went into a race sprinting when he should have been jogging. Dana wants the mega fight with Aldo. He technically got it with this fight as there was high PPV and with Aldo Vs McGregor it will be higher again. You are correct he wants McGregor to avoid these other fights. That does not mean they will beat him. Before this fight I could not call Aldo Vs McGregor because none of us knew how McGregor would handle being on his back. If Aldo is capable of taking this fight to the ground we all now know that Mcgregor will not panic. Have you ever seen Kevin Randleman vs Randy Couture. It was the same as this fight Randleman just gassed it because he threw everything at Couture.

  9. GBDazzler Cardio has nothing to do with this. Mendes had to over exert him self to get those take downs. It took so much of his energy to do it. He was like a raging bull but there is a cost to this in that it can drain you of your energy. Edgar is not as strong as Chad nor as aggressive. So how is he going to get the take down. It was not easy for chad to get the take down and control it. The problem these fights have is that McGregor is very big for this division. Those smaller fighters even with good wrestling are going to have to work really hard to get that take down and be able to do it for 5 rounds. McGregor still has his strength as could be clearly seen in the chad fight.

  10. Randy JP I am afraid that Mendes storm was not enough. Let be honest he never looked like he could actually win the fight. He made a big flurry and scored points with the take down but just gassed him self in the process. He is not the first fighter to have done this. kevin randleman vs randy couture this happened as well. Where Randleman threw everything at Couture but again it was not enough and he just collapsed after the big onslaught. The problem Mendes has here is that McGregor is far bigger and stronger than him and it takes a lot more energy to take down a bigger and stronger oponent. Clearly Mendes is the better wrestler in all of this and if it had of been a high school wreslting match he would have won. But this is MMA and he lost.

  11. Comoconquistaraunamujer Ya Mendes rolled up into a ball and was not defending him self. Hence ref stepped in.

  12. jay son Aldo can train with 100 people but none of them are Mcgregor. Aldo's best chance against Conor was to be able to take him down. Chad Mendes who is the most powerful and best wrestler in the Division struggled to control the fight with Grappling. Will Aldo be able to do what Mendes done.

  13. Jorge Vieira Who was pushed to the limit. Mendes never looked like he was going to win. He was like a ranging bull at first but that just tired him out.
