Hindsight - UFC 189: McGregor vs. Mendes & TUF 21 Finale in retrospect

In some ways, I find myself wanting to believe that sentiment, more than I find myself believing that it's true. It's certainly what Jose Aldo fans would like to think, watching Conor McGregor fight, but then again... Watching Conor McGregor fight there aren't many signs of doubt in his demeanor. Even when on his back, eating hard shots, even when getting countered hard coming in, he fights like a man with unshakable belief that he is going to win the fight in front of him. Outside of a star enhancing performance from McGregor, Robbie Lawler put on one of the all time great title defenses is MMA history to co-main a card whose last few fights were totally beyond already high expectations.
