Except that Aldo was offered a rematch.No wonder the UFC and Conor never wanted a rematch
If you land your signature counter punch - that you've used throughout your career - to land a KO blow, and you're known for KO'ing guys, its not a fluke.
If he did a apropos of nothing spinning kick and it landed ending the show it would be a fluke.
We can say its statistically rare that he would land that shot so early in the fight, but that could just be as simple as Aldo made a critical error right out of the gate by fighting so emotionally.
Aldo lost his composure and Conor took advantage of it.
Except that Aldo was offered a rematch.
Might be that the actual punch that knocked out Aldo was a fluke but McGregor would be the favourite in a rematch.
Bruv, 13 seconds. That is all it took to end Aldo's reign of destruction in the FW division. Conor easily got in Jose's head prior to the fight, than annihilated him. Fluke my arseAnyone agree on this? The more I see how Conor career played out I think he was so damn lucky against Aldo. I think Aldo has the better cardio, kicks and clinch and he would easily wear Conor down with kicks and even take the fight down if he wanted.

Khabib isn't flat-footed never was...Conor and his father both said that this was their best camp everkhabib win over conor was actaully a fluke. If conor came better prepared he would have gotten khabib out of there in less than 2 rounds. Khabib is too flat footed and only has takedowns from the clinch.
Would love it if that happenedConor loses the rematch.
No. Aldo was offered a short replacement fight on 2 weeks notice. Diaz & Cowboy were the only ones who accepted while Aldo wasnt ready and Edgar was injured. That's not the same thing.

Tons of fights play out different after a first round KO.
JDS/Cain
BJ/Uno
Aldo/Mendes (same winner but competitive compared to the first fight)
In a reverse way ... Machida/Shogun. SUPER competitive first fight ... FAST KO in second.

LOL...If you rush on Conor like a drunken bum you will end up ass up face down, boy. The guy is a masteful counterpuncher with unique timing. Conor got into Aldo’s head to the point of him really wanting to cause pain or even death. Perfect mental warfare and perfect outcome for McGoat.
Does a rematch goes the same way? Who knows.. if Aldo does the same shit it will.... if he takes his time he can put a fight but he is too worn out and stuck in the mud to beat Mcgregor, imo.
