Yep, McCarthy gave him the exact championship bout leeway to fight out of it. I was screaming at Aldo to do something, and right before the fight was over, I just slumped in disappointment knowing that John was surely about to end it. [Reply]

Yeah he dropped that dude in front of his home crowd. Really looked like Aldo had control of the fight and Max just came on stronger and stronger as the fight went on [Reply]
It was like the McGregor fight all over again, only it lasted longer than 13 seconds. After he got knocked out by McGregor all you heard was how he did exactly the opposite of everything they trained for. All during the Holloway fight all they talked about was that Aldo said he wanted to use his leg kicks in this fight, and he didn't throw a single one. [Reply]

I really don't get it, those leg kicks were very important to his long run as champion. He left behind a long trail of defeated opponents all lamenting how his devastating leg kicks crippled their mobility, and then he suddenly decided he didn't need them anymore.
On a lighter note, I found this hilarious reply on another board to someone who was complaining that Conor would likely never cut to 145 to fight Holloway.

I honestly believe every word DJ wrote. Frankly, Dana has literally made billions by stepping on the guys who make 10k per fight. He would never treat Jones the way he treats DJ. Dana is a bully and a shit and I'd love to see WMG put him out. [Reply]
