Can anyone explain the line in the Aldo/Mcgregor fight??

**tbone123** · 12-07-15, 12:05 AM

Correct me if im wrong. This feels in my gut the same as when the ronda rousey line dropped. The way this line is looking i wouldn't be surprised if Aldo and Mcgregor go the distance and Aldo picks up a debatable decision to make the 2nd fight that much bigger. What are your thoughts?

Aldo fights once a year. He's extremely inactive. He's suspect for being a guy who juices when he's not fighting, outside of competition. Aldo's gym, Nova Uniao, is a suspect gym. A lot of fighters out of Nova Uniao fight once a year and are extremely inactive in a way that is suspicious. The head coach of Nova Uniao, Andre Pederneiras, quit and retired the second USADA testing went into effect. That's not the whole story or all of the facts. Let's just say for those in the know, Nova Uniao and Jose Aldo look shady.

If you watch Aldo's last fight with Chad Mendes very closely, you might notice some things. I'm not going to say what they are but if you have a decent eye you should pick up on a few things about Aldo that have changed over time that make him vulnerable to someone like McGregor. If you've seen Aldo's previous fights, you might also notice some other things.

Conor McGregor is the favorite because he should be the favorite. The odds are exactly what they should be.

Aldo has to be slowing some, I agree. Aldo's toughest tests have been wrestlers for the most part at FW. Korean Zombie was an interesting challenge and Aldo fought like a true champion and took him down, but Zombie is no Conor McGregor. The guy has knocked out everyone he's faced outside of Max Holloway when he literally tore his ACL in the 2nd round and still gutted out an easy decision win by using his offensive wrestling.

Told everyone----take aldo at +160 while you can...

**PaperTrail07** · 12-07-15, 01:16 PM

Personally I see Aldo as a -175 fav...McG did not impress me VS mendes....guy didnt even try to stand back up...

Mcgregor lost to a nobody and to make it worse he tapped out, how he going to beat one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world in aldo.

Yeah, I heard Mcg once got beat up in school by a 5th grader, when he was in the 6th.. That pussy ass bitch ain't ever gonna do shit

The whole thing is suspect to me. How Mcgregor cuts weight is a miracle. This guy is easy 20 pounds over the weight class. Mcgregor is good and he knows how to promote himself and it's great for UFC to bring that international crowd which is great for marketing in these other countries. Don't think he is as good as he talks but i eat it up whether it be his interviews or fights im a fan. Just as i said i believe they will milk this fight. Aldo will win with a debatable decision and it will make the 2nd fight huge with Mcgregor sending him on his way out.

Exactly. Korean Zombie is taller than Aldo and a southpaw. Jose Aldo broke his foot leg kicking Korean Zombie's leg. Being a southpaw makes it much easier for Conor to check that heavy leg kick Aldo has. That's one advantage Conor has, Chad Mendes, Urijah Faber, Frankie Edgar and others didn't.

Conor has other advantages.

Conor had a hard time cutting weight in his last fight as he tore near to his entire ACL and couldn't run to get his weight down until 2 weeks before the actual fight. There are a lot of people fighting at 145 who are taller than Conor. He's not that big for the weight class. Max Holloway, Andre Fili and others might be bigger than Conor is.

Okay you gotta be trolling at this point right?

You talking about him getting punched in the face?

Conor is 5'9.

George Roop is big for the weight class at 6'1.

Will Chope is 6'4 and fought at 145.

Take notes on this: Conor. isn't. that. big. for. the. weight. class.

Yes, because only height determines how big you are. Roop and Chope where literal drained stickfigures. Conor is broad shouldered and muscular.

You feel like the left guy is probably the bigger guy here right? (Pardon the pic, it was the only one i could find to illustrate my point)

I'm disappointed you didn't break out your extensive cache of gay porn to exort to the masses that having a 12 inch dick doesn't mean much if its only 1/4th of an inch thick.

You be slippin, homey.

There are guys taller and wider than Conor at 145. Conor isn't that big for the division, like I said.

How many years before you start to catch on?

Don't be mad because you're wrong dog. And please stop talking about dicks, that's just some weird shit. Conor is big of the division, because there's not many who's as tall AND HAVE AS MUCH MUSCLE MASS. I don't understand how this is a hard concept for you to grasp?

Conor in my opinion and seeing him actually up against guys in his weight class should be fighting at the very least 1 weight class up. Tallest is one thing but hes just seems too big in that weight class. In my opinion i don't know how he cuts what seems to be 20+ pounds to fight in that division. Now even with my views of UFC protecting their interests, i also believe if he moved up a weight class he would be average at best. But that's another convo for another time.
