    The only thing I could think of when Rory went down was that his nose was broken. Dude grabbed that nose as soon as Lawler hit that shot.

    Feel bad for Rory, he has a lot of heart and deserves to be champion someday. Good news is he is 25 and has a lot of fighting career left.

    Lawler is a warrior too. Weird guy, but he is one tough dude.

    The UFC should be giving everyone million dollar cheques backstage tonight.

    Yeah. The flood of body kicks did a lot to set up the KO, too. Mendes was worn out.

    Oh I thought you said Rory.

    Yeah, Lawler is off as well. He is the personification of a pro athlete for better or worse.

    And just like that, my buddy who loves Aldo, tells me that the fight was rigged. That herb stopped it too soon and that Mendes faked it for a check.

    Mendes tried to lay and pray, people don't understand how much energy that takes to try and hold someone down. Dude was exhausted. And Conors shot on him was filthy.

    I really really really want to see Aldo vs. Macgregor.

    Wow. Apparently the judges had Rory winning rounds 1, 3 and 4. So if Rory would have made it through the 5th round, he would have been champ. :(

    DFW claims this event was bigger than UFC 100

    Dunno if that will be reflected in PPV numbers but it was in gate and media attention
