How you can make a retarded statement like that, i'm sure thats what he doesnt understand about it.
How is it retarded?
Are you telling me Jose Aldo has been able to control his opponents with the same efficiency as Mighty Mouse or Jon Jones? I must be talking to two guys who've only been watching the sport for a few months.
You're right dude but remember Jose controlled all his fights except 2 the only fights I remember with momentum shifts were with Edgar and mendes other than that no body was able to set the pace with aldo and just Got whooped . Now with McGregor its easy for him to look good because for the most part he fought chumps with the exception being mendes , poirer or Holloway . I think McGregor has the potential to win this fight but I don't think he is as highly touted as Dana and himself portray him to be (not saying he isn't legitimate) but I think also puts it to him . if McGregor wins he gets major props and I'll admit I was wrong lol
I've been in the game since 97. Thanks for playing though.
Your statement was that he doesnt control fights like jones or mm. Guess you havent watched him fight before? You may want to actuallly watch his fights before making a retarded statement like this. Will save you some face.
Yes Sir.
If you mean that the winner of the bet gets to choose which picture of the winning fighter goes as the losers pic.
the winner gets to choose a picture of his choice for the loser to keep as his profile picture until the new (or defending) champion finally lose.
In the case of a draw, nothing happens!
We got some straight up savages here people!
My online reputation is at stake. I have faith that Mr. McGoatGoat won't let me down.
Everyone has doubted McGregor every single fight he's had
Yet he always wins impressively
Aldo has been fighting a long time and is on a physical decline. His skills have eroded. He never finishes anyone these days. Eventually he will be knocked off th e top like all others who have a long reign. Conor very well may be the guy to do it.
Conor is an extremely skilled fighter. He's got a lot less mileage. He's a lot bigger, and I think he is equally as skilled.
McGregor is legit.
It's also amusing to me how people think if he loses once he will just disappear lol. He will always be a top draw no matter what
I truly think that at this point Aldo doesn't even want to deal with Conor. Conor is living in his head rent free. not saying Aldo is afraid of him... but Conor is 100% messing with his head.. and guess what? That's exactly what he wants.. meaning Aldo, thus far, has been playing into Conor's hands. Not the other way around
Gonna be very interesting the night of 194. Personally I wouldn't wager on this fight. But I am leaning toward Conor. let's not forget Aldo is also coming off a layoff.

Almost 20 years and you can't see the difference between a fighter like Aldo and fighters like Jon Jones and Mighty Mouse? That's just sad. Start following something else.
Aldo's not a guy who has controlled opponents like those guys. He's been in a lot of wars and he's had to gut out a lot of close fights, and he's taken some real punishment that you just don't see guys like Jon Jones take. We're talking about a guy who dropped 2 rounds to Mark Hominick. He's never pitched a shut out decision in the UFC. Great fighter, but doesn't control like a MM or JJ. But I'm not saying anything esoteric, I'm sure this is obvious to 99% of the people reading this.

I'm not saying Aldo can't control an opponent, I'm just saying there's a difference between him and a guy like Jon Jones/Mighty Mouse/prime GSP/ect who developed styles to almost completely nullify an opponent's offence and completely dictate the tempo of a bout with a more conservative style that minimizes damage taken. We've seen Aldo lose control of fights fairly often (Hominick, Edgar, Mendes, end of Lamas fight, ect). Not shitting on Aldo, just saying it's not the same as Jones or MM, two guys who have a much better style to beat a McGregor IMO.
No yeah , that's why agreed with you and the reason why he(also) can't take control like those two is because of the wrestling, (of course hes a good grappler but hes never been an offensive wrestler)it adds another thought to their opponents, when your worrying about JJ or DJ striking then they hit you with wrestling , once you start to defend the wrestling then they start striking where as aldos only way to control a fight is with his striking .
Again, you need to watch his fights
Oh man he lost a round or two to hominck. Wow, so shitty he must be lol. Your inferrence is that he's inferior because he has been in wars and its plain not truth. He hasnt lost in 10 years, been champ since 2007 and its longer than you've known about the sport more than likely. Its a reign of dominance that both jones and johnson havent seen. I'd rather watch aldo before i'm actually forced to watch any mm fight. Give me fighters like aldo over shit you're trying to push as the greatest ever. But continue to tell us just how aldo is not good because he has been in wars,

One last thought and I'll shut up lol, Conor has to really come out and be super super aggressive with Aldo who is a slow starter. If he cannot hurt Aldo right off the jump he is in trouble. The long the fight goes the odds go up tremendously for Aldo as he chops and chops and chops Conor's lead leg down as he has done to everyone. Once Conor has no base and his movement starts to limit Aldo will start picking his shots and end this.
Aldo with in 3rds

I think Conor is more technical than Aldo at boxing and footwork. Both punch brutally hard. Agree Aldo has better kicking.
Chin: Both are prepared to take shots. When Aldo got smacked by Mendes, it made him angry (although he got dropped). When Conor got hit with a bomb, he took a step back to shake it off. When they both start smashing each other, who is going to be the one to stay in the pocket and who will look for distance? I think Aldo may edge this. As you say, he's fought at an elite level for a long time. Conor hasn't had the level of competition that Aldo has.
Stylistically, I think Kenny Florian would be a bad match up for McGregor. He's got the reach, skillset and fight IQ to take advantage of Conor's weaker areas and not play to his strengths.
I agree , but I've seen a v ideo of McGregor breaking someone's leg by checking their kick, not saying that would happen I'm sure Aldo will set them up beautiful just look at this clip if how he fakes and comes back with a vicious combo

I wouldn't say that McGregor is more technical but I would say that his style is a little more dynamic where is Aldo is a technical beast but the style he uses is a more basic Muay Thai style , if you just checked the highlights I posted above will see how technical both are let's just hope this is a back-and-forth battle guys but I wouldn't mind seeing a flash ko quickly either
I see the footwork, feints and distancing that McGregor uses and it seems to me to be more strategic and thought out than Aldo's savage, power combo style. Conor is setting you up to knock you out; Aldo is simply trying to knock you out.
I think Aldo mixes different types of striking better though. Blends his hands and his kicks very well and he throws devastating knees.
