If Aldo was healthy I'd take him in a heartbeat, but he's never fought a striker like McGregor and doing so with bruised/cracked ribs is gonna be bad.

Yea. I wonder how hurt he really is. I'm a McGregor nut hugger but I'm worried about the leg kicks the way he plants. I don't think either guy has faced a guy like the other.

The leg kick doesn't worry me much here due to McGregor's straight left counter being so effective. What worries me is that Aldo won't get cleared to fight, and McGregor will get wrestled for 25 minutes by Mendes and then we'll never get a chance to see Aldo vs. McGregor again. Even if McGregor doesn't target the ribs and knocks Aldo out with a punch to the chin (the way he said he planned to) if Aldo is fighting with bruised or cracked ribs that's a damn good excuse for being KO'd. I just want to see these two fight each other when they're both healthy and able to give 100% in the fight.

Yeah that used to be the only thing I feared for mcgregor, was his stance and that Aldo loves them leg kicks.  


My original prediction was McGregor winning via sub.  McGregor is scoring on the feet and Aldo catches him with a hard leg kick.  Mcgregor falls.  


Now this is where I'm lost.  I have a wierd feeling that in this situation it's going to be a quick scramble at some point.  A reallly sloppy one. Now here I think one of these ******s is gonna catch the others neck.


If Aldo is really injured, I'm betting on him by sub.  


I guess that's what I was trying to say.
