Impressive to me would be doing it 9 out of 10 times. I agree with Rogan and think McGregor really got into his head. I expected Aldo to hang back and blast his legs to take away his movement - which isn't hard when someone has such a wide stance and when you have a world class low kick, but instead he ran right into him, was sloppy and tried to knock him out and got caught.

Thanks man, that's really given me a different perspective on the fight. Perhaps surprised is a better word to use because I did not see the fight ending in the first round
