So what's your excuses now..

Oh Chad didn't get a full camp? -
Well he said himself he's always in shape... And he said himself he's been training for Connor since day 1...

Anything else?

Oh Herb shouldn't have stopped it-
Well when you turtle up and don't even attempt to fight back guess what- the fight gets stopped. Phone Post 3.0

1) Not a full camp
2) No Bang Ludwig

Still working on more.

BAD STOPPAGE.

It's not an excuse - I wanted conor to win. It's just a fact. One little knockdown, two punches, chad intelligently defending himself. Herb stops it.

Herb gets a new Ferrari.
Conor gets a new Mac-mansion.
Dana gets a new private island.

Less than 10 seconds.  Regardless, if you get caught clean, that's what can happen. Congrats to  Conor on a gutsy performance.

So going into the fetal position and turtling up waiting for the fight to stop is "intelligently defending" yourself? Wow, you just went full retard.

What?

Premature stoppage never crossed my mind once. Did Chad protest or something to bring this up or is it just Conor haters?

To me it looked like Chad wanted a way out because he was NOT gassed, he was HURT with body kicks. Phone Post 3.0

He was DEFENDING HIMSELF. Had his arms over his head, while totally completely conscious. That is not grounds to stop a fight. If you think that was a proper stoppage you're the one who knows nothing about fighting*

*It's not even knowledge about fighting, it's knowledge about proper MMA refereeing. Having watched every UFC since UFC 1, I know what a proper stoppage is, i've seen thousands of them. Some can certainly be borderline early/proper, this was not one of those. It was early.

^ this guy knows. Phone Post 3.0

No excuses. Conor has great standup, and a guy like that always has a puncher's chance. The guy hits HARD. He punched right through Mendes's head, lol.

That said, we knew that. The questions we had going into the fight was (a) can Conor stop the takedowns--he couldn't, and (b) how is ground game-he didn't have anything in guard, not even any set ups.

What this means against Aldo? I'm not sure. I know I wouldn't want to trade with Conor.

And how good is Connor's chin!? Those shots Chad landed would've put away most featherweights. Phone Post 3.0

I don't know how anyone couldn't be impressed with Connor after that performance Phone Post 3.0

turtling up gainst the cage and not attempting to move out of harm's way is not "intelligently defending oneself"

Chad never complained the stoppage, he knew he was done. To winded from the body shots and was getting wobbled with every punch Connor landed. Phone Post 3.0

AND here's another IGNORANT poster.

The Ref's job is to Protect the fighters over anything else,

and the end of a fight happens whenever one of them taps out or is shown that he can't defend himself.

3 seconds or 3 minutes makes no difference.

You show yourself to be an emotionally distracted child who can't see the objective truth.

Let me guess, you lost money on the fight?

I respect Chad for the way he handled the loss. No excuses, no bitterness. Loved his attitude after the fight.

Damn kalt this backfired on you haha! Phone Post 3.0
