UFC Fight Night 59 in Tweets: Pros react to Conor McGregor vs. Dennis Siver, Donald Cerrone vs. Benson Henderson

Two minutes may have been a bit lofty, but in the end Conor McGregor left no doubt. Ireland’s divisive featherweight sensation outclassed and outmatched Dennis Siver, sealing his title shot with a dominant second-round TKO then cascading into the crowd to confront champion Jose Aldo at UFC Fight Night 59. McGregor vs. Aldo is now official, and whether its held in Ireland or Las Vegas, McGregor let his prediction be known: first-round knockout… “around the four-minute mark.”

We shall see. In the meantime, check out reaction from all of the action on a wild Sunday night in Boston.

This fight kind of reminds me of a bull and a matador…. #ufcBoston

— Joe Lauzon (@JoeLauzon) January 19, 2015

Damn he’s good. Makes it looks effortless. @TheNotoriousMMA #UFCBoston

— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) January 19, 2015

Damn, damn, DAMN! McGregor is out there styling on Siver, right now. Siver needs to feint more and push forward. #UFCBoston

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) January 19, 2015

The speed difference is almost unfair #UFCBoston

— Cody Gibson (@TheRenegade559) January 19, 2015

Siver’s face is busted up. Mcgregor so relaxed and with great range. Landing knees, kicks and hard punches almost at will #ufcboston

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) January 19, 2015

Glad to see that juice head getting worked.

— Cole Miller (@colemillerATT) January 19, 2015

Lol any wrestler will slam the hell out of him. I didn’t even know Silver knew what a double leg was. #UFCFightNightBoston

— Jim Alers (@fightJim) January 19, 2015

This dude is a nut #UFCBoston

“@ZProphet_MMA: HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!! #UFCBoston pic.twitter.com/xUL4gpUJj9” LOL that was awesome! #TheMcGregorShow?

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) January 19, 2015

Ha! Aldo ain’t scared. #UFCBoston

— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) January 19, 2015

Aldo just might kill McGregor , No Lie!!! #UFCBoston

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) January 19, 2015

Conor looked great. Pin point. Target practice. A guy surging on his way up vs guy on his way out

— TJ Grant (@TJ_Grant) January 19, 2015

I LOVE that @josealdojunior response was a relaxed smile!!! @ufc

— Sara McMann (@Sara_McMann) January 19, 2015

Did you guys expect anything different? @ufc @TheNotoriousMMA

— Tyron T-Wood Woodley (@TWooodley) January 19, 2015

And Aldo laughs lol respect

— Efrain Escudero (@effyescudero) January 19, 2015

I was rooting for Mcgregor, only because I want to see #kingaldo do work on him.

— Nina Ansaroff (@NinaAnsaroff) January 19, 2015

Good work by @TheNotoriousMMA gotta give him props for what he’s done

— Matt Brown (@IamTheImmortal) January 19, 2015

Seriously tho, that stoppage was shit compared to all of Aldo’s KO’s. Don’t believe the hype, them legs are gettin torn up #UFCBoston

— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) January 19, 2015

Best part of tonight is the look of Mcgregor’s gf when she thought he was running to her but he was actually running to Aldo lol

— Ray Borg (@tazmexufc) January 19, 2015

I believe @josealdojunior

— Amanda Nunes (@Amanda_Leoa) January 19, 2015

Ridiculous what Mc Gregor did to Jose Aldo. The champion deserves respect. Promote a fight have to have a limit man!! #morerespect

— Claudia Gadelha (@ClaudiaGadelha_) January 19, 2015

Got to respect a fighter that finishes fights

— Cody Garbrandt (@Cody_Nolove) January 19, 2015

Absolutely can not do the title fight in Ireland. Just out of respect for the champ. Stadium in Brazil if anything. Champ gets homefield

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) January 19, 2015

@josealdojunior killer pic.twitter.com/kF4kPvy58p

— jimi manuwa (@POSTERBOYJM) January 19, 2015

Aldo isn’t human. Wrong guy to pick a fight with… #UFCBoston

— Saad Awad (@SAADMMA) January 19, 2015

Well that was a good birthday

— Coach Kavanagh (@John_Kavanagh) January 19, 2015

PROS SCORE CERRONE-HENDERSON 3

Benson hardly a pressure fighter. Don’t know why cerrone isn’t more aggressive. This is a benson fight the way it’s unfolded.

— TJ Grant (@TJ_Grant) January 19, 2015

Henderson may be 3-0 against cowboy. We’ll see what the judges think

— Felice Herrig (@feliceherrig) January 19, 2015

@Cowboycerrone looking great! This definitely needed 2 more rounds! Wtf! @Budweiser @JacksonsMMA

— Anthony Birchak (@abirchakMMA) January 19, 2015

This Cowboy vs Ben Henderson fight should be called a draw.

— Cole Miller (@colemillerATT) January 19, 2015

Henderson won the fight IMO #UFCBoston

— Cody Gibson (@TheRenegade559) January 19, 2015

Ben Henderson isn’t human. This dude never gets tired! #UFCBoston

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) January 19, 2015

— Nathan Diaz (@NateDiaz209) January 19, 2015

I have Ben Henderson, but Cerrone have my respect #UFCBoston

— Rafael dos Anjos (@RdosAnjosMMA) January 19, 2015

Cerrone / Henderson needs 5 rounds to figure things out. One of the only fights I wouldn’t be mad if they fought a 4th time. #UFCBoston

— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) January 19, 2015

It hurts me to say this…. Cerone will always be a bridesmaid, but never a bride. #UFCBoston

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) January 19, 2015

Man, @BensonHenderson looked great! Good job brother. @ufc

— Michael McDonald (@MaydayMcDonald) January 19, 2015

Well, cerrone is the man. Great variation from benson. He should get the UD and I’m a fan but darn it I wanted cerrone!! #ufcboston

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) January 19, 2015

WHAT??

— Michael McDonald (@MaydayMcDonald) January 19, 2015

— Brad Tavares (@BradTavares) January 19, 2015

Well damn. Ok. Sure. Why not.

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) January 19, 2015

Ok, I give up! Eff this judging ish -___- #UFCBoston

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) January 19, 2015

Now that is just freaking stupid

— Demetrious Johnson (@MightyMouseUFC) January 19, 2015

The judges are blind today!!

— Rafael dos Anjos (@RdosAnjosMMA) January 19, 2015

Well, I disagree… Cerrone didn’t push the pace.

— TJ Grant (@TJ_Grant) January 19, 2015

Wow!!! I didn’t see that one coming. Crazy! These judges these days

— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) January 19, 2015

These judging team shouldnt judge fights anymore this is really really bad

— AL IAQUINTA (@ALIAQUINTA) January 19, 2015

— Efrain Escudero (@effyescudero) January 19, 2015

— Dhiego Lima (@DhLimaMMA) January 19, 2015

Wow I didn’t see that one coming! I would have liked 5 rds of Cerrone V Henderson @ufc

— Tecia Torres (@TeciaTorres) January 19, 2015

Two robberies in one night……I’m just saying #UFCFightNightBoston #ufc #UFCBoston

— Jim Alers (@fightJim) January 19, 2015

— THE BLACK BEAST (@Thebeast_ufc) January 19, 2015

Benson won that fight. Fought harder

— TJ Grant (@TJ_Grant) January 19, 2015

— Sergio Pettis (@sergiopettis) January 19, 2015

Wtf idk about that decision

— John Moraga (@chicanojohn) January 19, 2015

— Jamie Varner (@jamievarner) January 19, 2015

No fucking way cowboy won that fight where did they find these judges tonight #blind #judges

— roland delorme (@rolanddelorme1) January 19, 2015

Cerrone didn’t do enough. Benson barely did enough, but deserved win.

— TJ Grant (@TJ_Grant) January 19, 2015

Keep your head up @BensonHenderson. You looked great out there.

— Michael McDonald (@MaydayMcDonald) January 19, 2015

@BensonHenderson just got hosed! What round did he lose again? @ufc #ufc

— Tyron T-Wood Woodley (@TWooodley) January 19, 2015

URIAH THE BUTCHER

This is a card I won a local pro title on 11 years ago… See any familiar @ufc names? http://t.co/jKcmweUsTY

— Joe Lauzon (@JoeLauzon) January 19, 2015

Stallings looking good before getting dropped. This could get ugly. #UFCBoston

— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) January 19, 2015

Congrats @UriahHallMMA nice right hand!

— Brad Tavares (@BradTavares) January 19, 2015

Why’d they stoppp…? OHHHH. That’s vagina on his eye brow is why… #UFCBoston

— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) January 19, 2015

Too bad for Stallings. That was turning into a good fight. Brutal cut though #UFCBoston

— Scott Holtzman (@HotSauceHoltzy) January 19, 2015

Watching @UriahHallMMA fight cage-side is something to behold. His #Speed is unreal. #UFCFightNightBoston

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) January 19, 2015

Probably in the best interest of Stallings face that the doc stopped it. It would’ve gotten wider. #UFCBoston

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) January 19, 2015

I didnt think a parry cross could do so much damage like that #doubleslice #urijahhallisabadman

— Andy Ogle (@thelittleaxe) January 19, 2015

Yay for @UriahHallMMA!! He worked hard all camp and it showed!! That’s what its about!! Congrats!! @Xtreme_Couture

— Miesha Tate (@MieshaTate) January 19, 2015

Nothing but love for @UriahHallMMA post fight speech. I hear ya.

— Cole Miller (@colemillerATT) January 19, 2015

Good call. That cut was DEEP! Awesome hand control by Uriah. Congrats on the W & continuing to show people how great you can be #UFCBoston

TIBAU TAKES THE SPLIT

Stormin Norman looks kinda like war machine. But with smaller lips

— Felice Herrig (@feliceherrig) January 19, 2015

Tibau expending a lot of energy on TDs that Parke pops right back up from. Bein more muscular, Tibau shud be mindful of how long he clinches

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) January 19, 2015

Parke pushing forward for rd 3. Still not a crazy blowout. Should be 29-28 tibau but again the Irish crowd may have sway #ufcboston

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) January 19, 2015

Stormin Norman has some pretty crisp technique… I like it

— Felice Herrig (@feliceherrig) January 19, 2015

Norman Parke 30-23 on all 4 judges cards. Just a guess… #UFCBoston

— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) January 19, 2015

No but really I have it 29-28 Tibau. #UFCBoston

— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) January 19, 2015

I do not agree with that decision. I had @norman_parke all day!! Controlled the cage, pace and landed more .. Don’t like these Boston judges

— Felice Herrig (@feliceherrig) January 19, 2015

Boa tibauuuuuuuuuu @GleisonTibauMMA pic.twitter.com/KLY12dif3s

— Antonio Pezao Silva (@BigfootSilva) January 19, 2015

At least the judges got that one right

— Roger Narvaez (@Silverback316) January 19, 2015

@GleisonTibauMMA whew!!!! Thought they were about to rob my boy!! @AmericanTopTeam

— Tyron T-Wood Woodley (@TWooodley) January 19, 2015

Are Tibaus decisions more exciting than mine because he has big muscles and tattoos?

— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) January 19, 2015

Gleison Tibau is the first person to fight to 7 split decisions in the UFC.

— MMADecisions.com (@MMADecisions) January 19, 2015

Win some u lose some.. I’m very humble in defeat! Well done @GleisonTibauMMA thank you for the opportunity to fight.

— STORMIN NORMAN PARKE (@norman_parke) January 19, 2015

SOMETHING IN THE WATER UP THERE IN BOSTON

Pendred showing his number one asset is taking a punch. That’s not a good thing… #UFCBoston

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) January 19, 2015

Pendred…..not the fighter I was feed to believe, after watching his last 3 fights. Tough as nails, but one dimensional, no?

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) January 19, 2015

If nothing else, Pendred has a chin on him #UFCBoston

— Cody Gibson (@TheRenegade559) January 19, 2015

Pendred is a technician at making things ugly in fights. #UFCBoston

— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) January 19, 2015

It’s painful to watch fighters who can’t spell head movement.

— Pat Miletich (@patmiletich) January 19, 2015

IM SORRY WHAT?!? #ufcboston

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) January 19, 2015

Tank you Boston

— Robert Whiteford (@Flyinjudoka) January 19, 2015

Did they say 30-27?!

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) January 19, 2015

That was one of the worst decisions I’ve seen…#UFCBoston

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) January 19, 2015

Wow no way!!!!!

— Efrain Escudero (@effyescudero) January 19, 2015

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

— Coach (@CMPunk) January 19, 2015

Two judges gave Pendred the first round? My god… #UFCBoston

— Cody Gibson (@TheRenegade559) January 19, 2015

30/27 on all scorecards ?!?! What??

— Felice Herrig (@feliceherrig) January 19, 2015

WTF?! What fight did I just watch?! How?! How did he win that fight?! I don’t understand this! Someone please explain this to me! #UFCBoston

— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) January 19, 2015

Worst decision of all time. F’n incredible. @ufc

— Matt Mitrione (@mattmitrione) January 19, 2015

What??? The Judges saw a different than me. #UFCBoston

— Rafael dos Anjos (@RdosAnjosMMA) January 19, 2015

Now I believe in “Luck of the Irish”! #UFCBoston

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) January 19, 2015

Wait!! What!?!? How the hell did Pendred win that?? Dood tried to hug for 3 RDs, got outstruck, rocked a few times, what are we watching?

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) January 19, 2015

WOWWWWWW!!!!!!! SPENCER GOT ROBBED!!!!! HOPEFULLY HE STILL GETS HIS WIN BONUS#UFCFIGHTNIGHT

— Roger Narvaez (@Silverback316) January 19, 2015

That whole fight was dumb… Both the meat & potatoes. Horrible technique plus absurd judging. My brain hurts & I feel dumber. #UFCBoston

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) January 19, 2015

U saw that last decision. That’s why I passed on fighting in Boston. #DumbAssJudges

— Cole Miller (@colemillerATT) January 19, 2015

Nah, real talk. That decision was bullshit. I just hope Uncle @danawhite takes care of Spencer w/his win bonus. #UFCBoston #WoulddBeNice

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) January 19, 2015

Rematch in Dallas. Please make it happen @danawhite @ufc @joesilva Give me a shot at justice Thank you to all the media who are writing it

— Sean Spencer (@seanspencer170) January 19, 2015

WELCOME HOME, MR. LARKIN

Larkin looks lean at welterweight. Crazy to think he’s than faster than he was at 185. #UFCBoston

— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) January 19, 2015

THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT! @da_MONSOON my man!!! Well done bro.

— michael (@bisping) January 19, 2015

Fast as lightning that Lorenz Larkin is @UFC

— Felice Herrig (@feliceherrig) January 19, 2015

WOW! Larkin connects and finishes Doomsday. Great performance! #ufcboston

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) January 19, 2015

And that’s why I’m a Lorenz Larkin fan… #UFCBoston

— James Krause (@TheJamesKrause) January 19, 2015

Larkin got them hands tho! #UFCBoston

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) January 19, 2015

WOW!!! THAT WAS SICKK!! #UFCBoston Larkin just looked soo much faster than Doomsday. Pinpoint accurate and super fast!

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) January 19, 2015

HOLOHAN GETS THE PARTY STARTED

Is Paddy Holohan wearing shorts? Because I don’t see them

— Felice Herrig (@feliceherrig) January 19, 2015

Wow! Shane Howell does not give up! Thought that was over then.

— michael (@bisping) January 19, 2015

Nope joe rogan…he’s not out cold…still awake and fighting #ufcboston

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) January 19, 2015

@PaddyHolohanMMA #lesgo !

— Julianna Peña (@VenezuelanVixen) January 19, 2015

Can’t believe he made it out of this round.

— Justin Edwards (@FastEddyMma) January 19, 2015

The crowd is pumped holohan will get the win. Hope they get a decibel meter for when Conor comes out #ufcboston

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) January 19, 2015

It’s raining free cash tonight #UFCBoston
