He was knocked out when he landed on the ground! I guess you guys like fighters and fights when they just lay on top of someone and eek out a victory??? You got to be kidding me! Those fights suck! I like the way Mcgregor fights! He was training for a stand up fight against the pound for pound best fighter in the UFC, who has the most devastating leg kicks probably ever! Then agreed to take a fight against probably the wrestler in the division with 2 weeks notice! On top of all the training, he was promoting the most lucrative PPV in UFC history by traveling back and forth to Ireland and the USA, not missing any training or PR work! I hand it to him for taking the fight, because he had a TON to lose! Many would of declined that challenge and opt to wait for Aldo to heal! Nothing against Mendez, he is a class act and comes from one of the best teams in the business! I just don't like it when a fighter comes out and lays on top of someone for 5 rounds and takes the win, which is exactly what Mendez would have done/tried to do if he was in better shape! Kudos to Mcgregor for knocking him out... Just like he predicted he would do! LOL
