Conor snatches Aldo's belt again!

CANT WAIT FOR THIS FIGHT!!!

I really think Aldo is going to be something fierce for this fight. I could see Conor winning but I really think he woke the beast.

Aldo is mentally ****** up.

I can't get over how tiny Aldo looks next to McGregor.

Conor looks like the big brother that took the toy away from his younger bother and is holding it above his head while the younger bother is saying, "give it back."

I mean, Conor and Aldo have different builds but they really are about the same exact size. MMA fans are kinda stupid. They automatically call the shorter guy, smaller which clearly isn't an accurate measurement of size at all and if they don't do that they use walk around weight which again isn't an accurate measurement of size at all. 

Conor has a bigger frame, so he will look bigger in clothing. Conor also has very petite legs and a very thin torso....Aldo is not just more muscular, but has a thicker body naturally and larger legs.

I really believe Aldo wins this fight without much trouble. People claiming McGregor got into Aldo's head.. no. There's a drastic difference in what it means to be in someone's head and what it means to just straight piss someone off. This situation is the latter. McGregor has been disrespectful and has quite honestly become a bad joke at this point. McGregor has no respect for the belt yet people want this clown to be champion. He probably doesn't even look in Aldo's direction when camera's aren't on him. He only does **** like this at the pressers because he knows Dana won't allow it escalate to much more than a yelling match. I sincerely hope Conor keeps this up. Aldo is one of the most underpaid, under-appreciated fighters of all time. When he thrashes McGregor, he's in for a huge payday.

@Nomad,


Ive literally seen you argue the same thing your excusing other MMA fans of stupidly doing several times.

Aldo's one of my favorite fighters. Second favorite to be exact. But Mike, you're delusional if you can't see that McGregor is good enough to give Aldo a real fight. And pissing off Aldo may actually be something he wants to do. Aldo went for the KO against Mendes in their 2nd fight and looked sloppy at times. 

The style clash here gives me pause. I'll still pick Aldo because he has faced great opposition and been in bad situations, but hasn't wilted. We've only seen McGregor in a bad position once, when he tore his ACL, but he was fighting a green Holloway that really had nothing other than striking at that time. To beat Aldo, I truly believe you have to beat him on the feet. If you can't outwork him on the feet, you're not gonna beat Aldo, because his TDD and general instincts within scrambling positions are just above and beyond everyone else. His counters to TDs are also amongst the best in the sport. His striking, while typically sound, is simply not all that varied. His back leg leg-kicks are up there with Thiago Alves' and his jab has gotten to be a useful weapon (not as good as GSP's, but Aldo's as close to using the jab effectively as anyone since GSP). He can do a lot of the other things in striking, he just doesn't. When he does use the left hook to the body (actually, that's my favorite technique that he throws) he has a ton he can do, but he rarely uses it. Conor's size, speed, southpaw stance, and striking savvy are something Aldo has not seen as champion. The last guy that would be the closest matchup to Conor would be Cub Swanson. Yes, I know how that went, but I've wanted to see a rematch forever because I don't think for a second that Aldo puts Cub away in one round a second time. 

The thing that I think is interesting is Conor saying he can put Aldo away inside of one round. That....I find really hard to believe. Unless it's a flash KO, Conor is not going to put Aldo away inside of one round. Conor keeps talking about his KOs, but here's the thing, Aldo was knocking out everybody until he became champion. He brutalized Faber and Hominick bad enough that most guys would have been finished. Yeah, he changed his style to be less wild, but it's not like the guys he fights have been getting finished left and right since he beat them. McGregor hasn't been fighting championship caliber fighters, so we'll see if he can keep KOing guys after he starts fighting the same caliber of fighters Aldo has been for the last 5 years. Just like a lot of other champions, once you start fighting consistently high quality fighters, finishing becomes a lot more difficult. 

Sonnen paid for all his ******** against Silva, Connor won't be any luckier that Chael

I might be the only man in Ireland that wants to see this ******** knocked out July 11th.

If Connor a ********, what does that make Thiago silva?

I mean you must see the irony in the fact you want Connor to lose because you say that "he a ********", yet you are rocking a Thiago Silva username/avatar..............

Conor can taunt Aldo all he wants, but it won't have a positive effect for him come fight time.  Chael tried to get in Anderson Silva's head with all of his trash talk and it failed him twice. DC (as much as I hate to admit it) tried to get inside Jon Jones' head with trash talk and it resulted in a convincing decision victory for Jon Jones.  Nick Diaz trash talked the hell out of GSP, and it ended in GSP turning Diaz into a grappling dummy and cruising to decision victory.

All Conor is doing is throwing gasoline on a fire by trying to do all the head games ********, and I honestly believe it is going to backfire on him in the end.

@Franklin's observation is relevant. 

I was pretty confident McGregor was going to win when this fight was announced but now I think Aldo may be so pissed he turns in another Faber performance.

If Aldo gets aggressive like he was against Chad Mendes, he might have a problem against a more diverse counter striker like McGregor who excels against aggression. McGregor's boxing style just matches up ridiculously well with Aldo's.

However, if Aldo brings that ruthless aggression that he brought back in the WEC...who ******* knows. Will McGregor even have a chance to throw a punch when Aldo is swarming him like a mad man? I doubt that.

I also know that Poirier was having a decent amount of success with leg kicks against McGregor, who didn't even bother checking them. One kick eaten from Aldo is going to make him regret the **** out of that.

But honestly, who ******* knows who wins this fight. I have no idea. This is an amazing title fight.

Fair point @franklin 

Although that was disrespectful, it was funny lol can't wait for this fight, hope both fighters stay healthy for the next 3 1/2 months.

Dude we all know thiago his boy, and seen him defend him on multiple occasions. Please don't try this ******** with me, where you go full ****** over **** you dam well know. He even admitted it was a fair point, which by the way props to him.
