Apparently there was a lot of surprise betting in Vegas.
The Bellagio had to stop taking bets on College football because they had no money left in the vault after paying out on Holm bets.
One guy had $20k on her to win - walked away with $240k
Supposedly one of the top bets was on how long the fight would last - with a lot of bets going on a round and a half.

Aldo can afford to lose tonight but McGregor definitely can't.

McGregor looked drained Aldo by ko for me been waiting for this fight for what seems like forever.Agree McGregor needs to win that boy takes trash talking to a new level will be interesting to see what happens when Aldo hits him with that first leg kick.

I don't know about drained but he looks very skinny and his face is gaunt, Aldo looks healthier.

Doesn't he normally rehydrate using an iv but they have now banned that so will be interesting to see how much weight he puts back on.Aldo looks like he has made weight much easier.Looking forward to this card tonight

I didn't know about that it doesn't sound too healthy to me, no wonder he said he is moving up to lightweight.

I love Frankie them wars with Maynard were great.I like him at this weight what do you think?

I think failing a result tonight that means an immediate rematch - Frankie will have a title shot next fight no question (and be a strong beat to beat either man)

 

[yankspurs]

Weidman got his brains punched out repeatedly. No clue how it wasnt called before the end of the round. Awful reffing.

McGregor put Aldo to sleep pretty much immediately. Unbelievable.

 

[Mullers]

I said Aldo could afford to lose but not lose like that though!
I've never been convinced by Weidman, he's a guy who got famous off the back of the Anderson Silva fights, he beat Silva fair and square but I just think Silva at his best is a more talented fighter.

Ask the majority of Ireland who Royce Gracie is and they couldn't tell you. Everyone is on board the McGregor bandwagon, it'll just be tough listening to the "experts".

I just watched the entire fight in a gif. Amazing.

Ah only natural, it would be the same in England if he was English. He's got a big mouth but backs it up and is exciting to watch, Tyson Fury has a big mouth, he's backed it up but he's boring to watch.

Conor is great for the sport, pure showmanship. Just enjoy it. I wish there was an english fighter as good as him.

 

[Hoops]

hmmmm 13 seconds? first punch KO? bit embarrassing for the sport tbh. I do wonder how professional the sport is. I dont doubt its entertainment value. But after watching this fight. Then the Paige Vanzant fight...who was awful btw. Plus the Rousey ass kicking by a decent ex BOXER! I kind of think the UFC is a bit amateur night.
