A Championship Fight lasting 14 seconds can't be good for the sport or fan base right?

Don't watch much UFC but dang, that's your big Championship Fight?

I mean, Rousey's fights were pretty boring too.

Hell, maybe I'm wrong.

I bought it last night and rooting for Aldo.... I wasn't disappointed.

It was shocking. This isn't Rousey. I hate her. Overrated, weak competition..

McGregor different story.. took out a champion that hasn't lost in over a decade.. I'm glad I witnessed it.

Part of me wonders if Aldo connects first if Aldo gets the KO

Aldo didn't and never would have to power to KO Connor...Even if Conner didn't connect on that swing, he still would have taken apart Aldo.

The only reason it isn't too bad for the sport is that MacGregor is the best interview in sport right now. Guy is full of amazing one liners

Think it was good for the sport. Knockouts are exciting in any fashion and for it to happen on the first punch makes it even more so. It leaves open discussion for what ifs and helps to prop up ufc's most marketable personality.

Mike Tyson was the only name in boxing for years and it was because he knocked people out and that was before he raped and gave crazy quotes. 12 round decisions seem pointless. They should fight until the other guy can't fight anymore.

Totally Agree with this or make the round 10 minutes long for 5 rounds.

When the UFC first started there were no rounds, the fight went on till someone quit or went limp.
