He didn’t knock out Aldo in 13 seconds?No surprises here - his whole life is one big #1 bullshit lie.
That was Big John McCarthy, Conor only knocked him downHe didn’t knock out Aldo in 13 seconds?
You were doing well and threw all your creditbility out the window with that last statementConors posterior never made contact with the ground not a knockdown. Conor won round 3 against khabib and would been victorious in the end likely if not for hail mary submission.

DQ in my opinion, and Aldo retained his titleBig John should have lost a point for that knee to the head of a grounded fighter.
Good way to look at it actually, since if he had a knee on the canvas, he’s a grounded opponent (the one hand doesn’t matter as two hands are needed to ground fighter with new rules)A knee and a hand on the canvas is the definition of a grounded opponent though. He was in a position where if Khabib had kneed or kicked him it would have been deemed an illegal strike and he didn't get in that position voluntarily.
If that's not a knockdown I don't know what is really.
Exactly, through no choice of there own. Nevada doesn't use the new rules though which is why the hand is also a factor hereGood way to look at it actually, since if he had a knee on the canvas, he’s a grounded opponent (the one hand doesn’t matter as two hands are needed to ground fighter with new rules)
So that should be an ideal method of ruling it a knockdown. Sending a standing opponent to being a grounded opponent from a strike.
