real deal? real deal!

 

[BigJonsson]

Do it right now, WWE style....

 

[ChosenPredator]

ALDO is going to murder him LOL

 

[NomarTyme]

lmao Aldo is going to eat you alive.

 

[Reg]

what a can

 

[_DrMario_]

Goddamn I hope Aldo murders him.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lol Aldo ain't scurred

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Pimpwerx]

I like my fighters to be showmen. Connor has that aspect down. Good fun. PEACE.

 

[strikeselect]

Aldo smiling cuz of that $$$ he's about to make.

 

[Jest Chillin]

And two week turnaround. Cowboy won, but it was close

I feel like it could go either way. If takedowns weren't weighed as heavily, it probably goes the other way.


Switching up to the current fight.. I feel like Conor fights like an athletic Diaz brother that has power in his striking.

 

[ChosenPredator]

Aldo laughing was priceless , he can see through him.

 

[dream]

Friends, Aldo hasn't murdered anyone since WEC folded.

 

[alr1ght]

At least Conor is not a boring as shit fighter like Chael.

Will lol when Aldo gets hurt.

 

[BearFlexington]

He just sold the hell out of the Aldo McGregor PPV. I bet Dana White busted a nut watching that.

 

[ChosenPredator]

Friends, Aldo hasn't murdered anyone since WEC folded.

maybe this is the motivation he needs to have that firelit again

 

[FaintColt388301]

Hahaha. Why was he picking his feet up when he was mounted? Keep those hooves on the ground and bump and shrimp dude.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

At this point it makes no sense for Aldo/Conor not to happen. And make it happen quick before Aldo gets injured again. March would be nice.

 

[Plywood]

Conor's looking a little tired, and you would think that a real opponent might be able to pressure him.

Weight cut did more on him than he'd admit.

 

[NervousXtian]

Yeah, Conor's a pretty unlikable guy... he seems like some kind of WWE heel character to be honest... but fuck.. dude's a beast.

He just decimated a guy who's actually no where near as bad as he just looked.

 

[JB1981]

He beat a can. Congrats. Great marketing, Dana

Wow, someone fell for the UFC hype machine. lol, nice job Dana.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Mendes would murk Connor too

 

[abstract alien]

Well that was hype as fuck

 

[BearFlexington]

Friends, Aldo hasn't murdered anyone since WEC folded.

Damn, I'm too slow.

 

[PaulKersey]

Daaang. Bad first round for McGregor, but he's lucky he finished it. Siver got that takedown! That's all that matters anymore.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Nah. Aldo isn't buying into the talk the way some other fighters might. He sees the holes in Conor's style, and there are definitely holes, especially in his flashier techniques. That said, Conor's not a afraid to get hit and he appears to hit pretty damn hard, so it shouldn't be a cakewalk for Aldo.

 

[FaintColt388301]

That tiny little chick thought she could hold connor back. Haha.

 

[DMczaf]

The people of Dublin! *cut to 15 people in a pub*

 

[NomarTyme]

Go tell Aldo to bring his shine box!

 

[Macattk15]

Well. I can't wait for the Aldo/McGregor fight honestly.

 

[_DrMario_]

The people of Dublin! *cut to 15 people in a pub*

Hahahahaa

 

[dream]

Come on, I could knock Money Mendes out in a round.

 

[PaulKersey]

Yeah. Don't know who wins. Aldo is very hit and miss. Looks bad when you don't think he will and great when you think it'll be a fight.

 

[NervousXtian]

Wow, someone fell for the UFC hype machine. lol, nice job Dana.

Dude's a fool.. he's extremely unlikable.. but he's talented... really talented.

 

[BeatnikGunsoo]

well i'm hyped for this fight

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I don't know if Aldo is wawshed up or if Conor is legit. The fight will answer both of those questions so I'm glad it's happening.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Oh man its gonna be like when Aldo whooped Urijah's ass in cali, but even more better

 

[alr1ght]

Dude's a fool.. he's extremely unlikable.. but he's talented... really talented.

Talented and extremely protected by the UFC.

 

[BigJonsson]

Talented and extremely protected by the UFC.

Feels similar to Bisping

 

[Ninja Scooter]

There's also no way that Conor jumping over the rail towards Aldo wasn't completely orchestrated. Even the UFC can't resist the Coker Era.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Conor unlikable? Dude is actually doing a great job promoting his fights. Love him or hate him, you want to see him fight. Its really the answer to the star power problem the UFC has. All you need to become a star is the right attitude. Swagger on a million seems to be the winning formula. PEACE.

 

[zychi]

So whats left this year? Anderson coming back, Conor vs Aldo, what else? Dana put the whole year in Jan.

 

[BearFlexington]

I know its way early for predictions but just looking at how many times Siver dropped him with leg kicks, incidental or not, I imagine McGregor having a very hard time staying on his feet against Aldo.

 

[alr1ght]

So whats left this year? Anderson coming back, Conor vs Aldo, what else? Dana put the whole year in Jan.

Jon Jones vs Random Drug Test

 

[Jest Chillin]

Talented and extremely protected by the UFC.

While this is true, I almost prefer this to the opposing route of making promising talent work their way through so many gatekeepers that can derail them. That's how we end up with stale ass divisions where the same 3-4 guys keep end up fighting each other.

Feels similar to Bisping

Yeahhhh never did Bisping look as good as Conor has even against cans.

 

[Heel]

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Cain/Verdum and Bones vs Gus/Rumble

 

[shwimpy]

Brock vs. Overeem II.

 

[Dysun]

Love the shtick. Conor is the best

Aldo going to murk him though
