UFC 189 Post Post: Fight Facts, Photos, & Fantasy Matchmaking

JOE ROGAN REACTS TO THE MADNESS OF UFC 189



Conor McGregor has now won 12 bouts in a row.

"Mystic Mac" predicted a 2nd round TKO win over Chad Mendes furthering his legacy as a champion and a predictor of the future.

The Irishman became the 4th European title holder following Bas Rutten, Andrei Arlovski, and Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

Conor has won 6 fights in a row which is the longest streak at Featherweight behind Jose Aldo.

16 of McGregor's 18 wins have come by stoppage.

The Celtic king has stopped 5 of his 6 Zuffa foes.


THE CANADIAN PSYCHO FOLKS  ^

Robbie Lawler has gone 7-1 since returning to the UFC's loving arms.

The "Ruthless" one has never lost a rematch (4-0).



Betting favorites went 6-5 on the card.


RORY MACDONALD THE DAY AFTER






The Reebok uniforms, or "kits," as the kids are saying, aren't as terrible as originally thought.

The new touches to the UFC's video packages were a vast improvement but damned if that theme song, no matter which way you remix it, still sucks.

Major props to Jeremy Stephens for entering the arena to Eazy E's "Real Muthafuckin' G's" which is MMAFO's entrance music as well.

Rory MacDonald has graduated from terrible entrance music like Red Hot Chili Peppers and entered to Tool's "Forty-Six & Two" to a massive pop!
* Furthermore, we never noticed that the "Red King" looked so much like James Maynard Keenan before.

Sinead O'Connor sang "The Foggy Dew" live to introduce Conor McGregor. The song was actually a track in which Sinead teamed up with the Chieftans from their 1995 album, The Long Black Veil.

UFC Fantasy Matchmaker:

Obviously, the next bout for Conor McGregor will be to finally face Jose Aldo to unite the belts.

Chad Mendes and Cub Swanson should meet again. Their careers are both in a delicate situation and the men have both improved greatly since their initial meeting in the WEC back in '10.

Robbie Lawler will be finishing his trilogy against Johny Hendricks next. MMAFO guarantee, folks will be sleeping on "Bigg Rigg" going into that fight.

Rory MacDonald should take a long vacation.

Jeremy Stephens and Dennis Bermudez will "do the damn thing yet again" as Dana White wants a rematch to this amazing contest.

Gunner Nelson should complete a grappler's dream and face Demian Maia if the Brazilian gets past Neil Magny in August.

Thomas Almeida versus Francisco Rivera. Two absolute killer strikers? Yes! Would watch.

Matt Brown should fight Carlos Condit next! Can you imagine? This shit just writes itself.
