No one seriously believes that McGregor can beat Aldo do they. This is such a mismatch. This will be another Ronda Rousey moment I think.
-
I hope to hell you're right. I'd love to see McGregor get that cocky smirk knocked off his face. He like Rousey is starting to believe his own hype. ::)

I agree he was such an ass on TUF.
-
crappy 24/7 ripoff
-
I like McGregor. No comparison between him and rousey...rousey believed she could beat a man. She needed knocked down a notch. McGregor truly is a great fighter
-
McGregor is in a heavily talented division, Mcgregor beat the no.2 and the best wrestler at that division. Not only did he dominated him but he made him quit and finished him.
Aldo also fought Mendes however he won 1st by lucky punch and 2nd by barely eeking a decision of which many argued that Mendes won.
Mcgregor is legit make no mistake about it, he beat Porier who is destroying at lightweight now, Holloway who is on 7win streak since losing to Conor.
He verbally owned everyone at the Big Press conference:
-
i might actually buy this one
first ppv event ever... sick of sitting through shitty streams, clicking popups
-
Well, Connor better win. He has really set himself up for a crash if he doesn't. I mean, if he loses decisively what's left? He'll still be a good fighter and contender but losing will be such a let down to his fans because of the way he built himself up. Rhonda's hype was built up mostly by others. Conner's hype was built up mostly by himself. He loses and he will be considered a phony. Just another big mouth trying to hype himself to bring in the dollars.
-
europe mendes took that fight on less than two weeks notice, he was out of shape for sure.
mcgregors best chance is for early round ko- he cuts alot of weight, and also the ufc has enforced the no iv drip for rehydration which will
hurt alot of guys who cut a ton of weight. mcgregors best chance is for an early round ko the longer the fight goes, the more it favors aldo .
cant wait to see this fight and card
-
Connor is a great guy and a great fighter. Don't be fooled by the act. It's how he gets paid.
-
I would put my money on Mc Gregor but definitly supporting Aldo. As much as I think McGregor antics are funny hes just too much of an asshole.
Aldo comes from the slums of Brazil favelas hes a real tuff guy.

Amazing how most people are overlooking Aldo, he hasn't been beaten in over a decade and his resume is second to none. McGregor's Resume on the other hand looks fairly average. I think many fans are buying into Connors bullshit. Personally, I don't think Connor deserves to share the octagon with Aldo, but we will see this weekend won't we.
-
i agree radical
the only way i can see mcanal winning is if he wins by ko by the second round after that hes in trouble, i do not think mcanal can go 5 rounds.
he was losing the fight with chad"mini anal" mendes, before mendes gassed. i am interested to see if aldo will utilize take downs in this fight.
because mcgregor has no td defence- if mcanal goes up in weight he will get ass raped as lw. i cannot see him competing with dos anjos
or that russia whos name i cannot spell.
-
the important question is can aldo land his vicious kicks or can connor avoid them

LOL
Conor is going to destroy Jose, it won't be close.
Conor would have KO'd kenny florian, mark hominick , lamas (who mendes beat senseless). Conor also had a 80% torn ACL in the mendes fight, it was the reason he was moving so much slower, and had such a bad weight cut.
-

Starting to believe his own hype because he's beaten everyone they've put in front of him in the ufc and that includes a man who pushed aldo to the brink in a five rounder. 18 days training wasn't enough time for mendes to have the gas to go two full rounds? Nah, it was dem beautiful body kicks that stabbed away at his tank.
Going to be so happy to see you babies and bitches cry yourselves to sleep when he KOs Aldo
-

Never trained in your life and can't recognise a great fighter when he's right there in front of you...jealousy is an awful thing

You know it's a bb forum when lads are calling one of the most anticipated fights ever (amongst even the pro fighters) a "mismatch"

I guess that makes mendes, poirier and holloway even more phony.
Mcgregors hype built by himself alone? Dana, Lorenzo and zuffa had no hand in it? ThIs world tour (which the ufc organised and paid for, not Conor lol) had nothing to do with it?
The fact he dominated every fighter he's faced had nothing to do with it? (Yes he did dominate Chad every second they were standing)

Your old wrinkly ass is gonna get some shock. Mendes stays in shape all year round he even admitted it himself. No mention of Conor's torn acl you dumb fucking clown. "Mcanal" would knock your fucking head off and give you brain damage

Haha man youre totally entitled to your opinions just get so sick of people bashing mcgregor. I train with pro fighter from mcgregors camp (I don't go near mcgregor personally as I don't wanna fanboy and im new to fighting) but Conor is nothing lik his media persona that's just to sell PPVs, hopefully you'll respect him more after this fight, buddy

Lol and I know you hate him too but you might love him after this one
-

I'm obviously not biased At all, don't be silly ;D
-
irish he is very dangerous, im not sure if aldo can handle his power, if mcgregor wins, i will not be surprised if it is early.
i know he is doing what he has to , to sell fights, the ufc is so fucking cheap, fighters have to sell a ton of ppvs to make any money
they really do fuck there top draws over .
-
Lol and I know you hate him too but you might love him after this one
I don't hate him
I just think he is getting too mouthy
to the point of embarrassment

He's OTT at times but it's all about putting asses in seats and its worked thus far. If he wins I can guarantee hell shake joses hand and be very humble

irish wouldnt you agree its a fucking joke how much the ufc makes off guys like mcgregor compared to what they pay him
they should be ashamed of how they fuck over there top draws.

Totally agree mcgregor will be the first guy to break 6 figures a fight which is a joke when you look at boxing purses. Most of the less relevant lads are only making 8-20k a scrap
-
irish your right, if mcgregor was a boxer and sole one million ppvs like he did his last fight
he would make at least 20 million
in the ufc they way they pay he would have to have at least 7 ppvs sell over a million buys to clear that,
its a fucking joke, and whats even worst the ufc has a bunch of idiots who defend them paying shit wages to there top draws.

im coming to croker park
when he fights there
the craic will be mighty

Mcgregor has an amazing fight iq and a devastating left hand. I think he is going to be too much for Aldo. Too big fast and powerful.
This is an amazing breakdown.
-
Jose Aldo will destroy McGrecgor, make no mistake, Jose will handle his business.
Quite a radical thought.
-

My thoughts exactly. I think this is the fight Aldo begins to "look old" just like Klitschko in his last match.

Good breakdown, but the difference in this fight will be Aldo's powerful leg kicks, which will reduce McGregor's offensive abilities.
-
radical , george st pierre's trainer said the same thing about the leg kicks as well, he gave a very in depth review for this fight.
btw this is the best card of the year on paper at least.

You really can't see the difference? You're obvious bias blinds you.
None of the fighters you mentioned brag and show boat like Connor.
And of course the UFC will follow and encourage a show boater like Mcgregor. But he was a big mouth from day one.
We'll see how conceited he is and how he struts after this weekend.

Aldo is going to dismantle McGregor , another paper champ will go down in flames.

This is one card I am buying.
A good amount of quality fights.
"1"

one more rep
the last three fights i am truly intrigued by
they are all hard to call as well. i wonder how many times they will mention that whore ronda rousey on the ppv, i bet at least 100
-
peoples records and past performances are good indicators of how two fighters will match up, but people underestimate the importance of the psychology of the two fighters together pre-fight. rousy was intimidated by Holly and it may have weighed in on her loss. I feel that Jose has been intimidated by Conner in their verbal exchanges and that may carry over into the fight giving McGregor the edge.

What on earth makes you think RR was intimidated by Holly? From day one, it was considered a mismatch and Holly, which even she admitted, was given a title shot prematurely.
And I believe you underestimate the Brasilian culture. They are a very macho culture and grow up fighting. Aldo grew up in the Favelas that make our ghettos look like resorts. Aldo is a grim, resolute, seasoned, and hardened warrior that fears and is intimidated by no one. I don't know how Conor grew up but Jose knows a lot about hardship and suffering.
This guarantees nothing but you simply cannot "psyche out" someone like Aldo.

Pellius, you took the words right out of my mouth. I was going to respond in a similar way but couldn't be bothered. Amazing isn't it how in retrospect everyone analyzes the situation completely differently. Before the Rousey fight Rhonda was the all powerful, unbeatable, unflappable champion. Now the majority say she seemed scared, out of her league, outclassed or burnt out. The fact is she was as good as she has ever been before fighting Holly. And you are right, she wasn't intimidated, that was her problem, because if she assessed the challenger correctly she should have been and trained accordingly instead of displaying an arrogant disregard for all her competitors.
I can't tell you how good it still feels seeing that cun+ get KTFO, I for one was never on the Ronda bandwagon and saw right through her from the beginning, I knew she was just the best of a bad bunch and once her division developed some depth she would soon be cast aside.
And to touch on your final point, I also think Aldo is being looked over in this fight against McGregor, I think Aldo will win, and win easily. Aldo is seriously TOUGH.

Prior to the bout, I had no interest in watching the Holm vs Rousey fight. I was so turned off by the over hyping of Rousey. It was sickening. Hyping a fighter is one thing. But there is a point where fans will turn away if their intelligence is insulted from the hype.
In previous years, to a lesser extent; Chael Sonnen's rants turned me off too.
-
Good breakdown, but the difference in this fight will be Aldo's powerful leg kicks, which will reduce McGregor's offensive abilities.
Well, Conors main "weapon" is his cross, left cross. It's a natural counter to the lead leg low kick, he will have to eat one to land the punch, but I think jose will lose that battle, legs vs head. Who lands first? in the ivan benchmark (fucking autocorrect lulu, fawn) hahaha.
jesus, you can barely type on this site anymore. In that fight he just pistons it down the middle in orthodox stance, I think he will get off before jose, jose puts power into everything sure, but he telegraphs, conor is fluid, it's hard to see his punches coming, like diaz, slow but flowing, it freezes people.

Yeah, I just don't know I am buying into all the McGregor hype, I think he is a good fighter but maybe not on Aldo's level. I could be wrong, and all the hype tends to cloud objective reasoning, but Aldo is unbeaten in ten years for good reason and not because of good luck. Kind of reminds me of Chael Sonnen talking his way into a fight with Anderson Silva, like that fight I think maybe Connor can hang with Aldo, but when push comes to shove Aldo will have his number.
I am watching some of Aldo's past fights to try and be as objective as possible, thinking of maybe betting on the card this weekend.
-
Just watched Aldo's last fight with mendes and McGregors fight against Max Holloway. McGregors style reminds me of the Diaz boys. He works constantly, mixes it up well, but the majority of his attacks lack any real power. But like the Diaz boys he throws in an occasional powerful offensive strike. I see the difference being in power, Aldo definitely throws more powerful combos on a regular basis, and I think the key for him to win is to attack the legs early, weaken Connors stand up and then Aldo should take him down in the middle rounds and look for a submission.
-
Reasons I dislike Jose Aldo and root for Conor Mcgregor are these:
- Jose Aldo has pulled off fights 5 title fights now.
- The strong steroid allegations, when UFC started random testing Aldos trainer called the police on BS visa issue on the commissioner, and they threw the urine sample out. Also they only wanted to fight in Brazil(3x title fights there) and according to many fighters the tests are a joke.
- Remember Anderson getting caught using steroids? he cited that he used it for an injury, well Aldo has been injured a lot. The times he fought in the UFC outside Brazil he was barely eeking wins, and even got dominated 5thround by Hominick who is nowhere near top10.
- Conor has been a strong advocate against Steroids since day one!! He doesn't back out on small injuries like other fighters.
- Mcgregor made the featherweight interesting, before it was lackluster and barely interesting, now it's the Division to watch.
- Brazilians are known in the BJJ world for using heavy steroids. Aldo may seem humble because he's quiet/introvert but the dude is a more cheat than Mcgregor.
-
Connor's last loss
Connor's first loss
-
I think Aldo will gut Mcgregor like a fish. Aldo is a straight killer.
-
Connor's last loss
Connor's first loss
Conor 1st loss he fought as a boxer, he barely knew the groundgame.. 2nd fight he fought against a submission specialist Duffy who had submitted ufc veteran norman parke before the Mcgregor fight.
Aldos' first loss

I didn't at first, but he has made me a believer, from the first spinning kick in the mendes fight, Chad was hurting, he had Chad running near constantly, in the jose fight, chad stood in the pocket and ate shots, in some cases he almost looked dazed as he was standing straight up, like after the bell, jose gives him a 1-2 and he just eats with no attempt at defence.
With conor once he hits you with a shot another is coming down the pipe before you can react (like diaz), punches flowing from angles, half power with an occasional full power to throw off timing.
Watch the second round of the Max Holloway fight, watch his movement, he is much not going full speed almost ever, you can see how quick he actually is.

check my post history. on the 13th before the fight I said it was obvious that rousy was scared shitless. I also said her standup sucks at a time when people were saying she could out box pro males.
