Jose Aldo is the nicest fighter ever... He saved Martinez from getting KO'ED

[Substance Abuse]

He clearly had Martinez hurt bad and could have finished him but he didn't want to destroy the young lions career so he took him down instead.

What an amazing human being inside and out of the cage. The Goat, the legend, the UFC hall of famer. JOSE ALDO

We finally agree - Aldo still GOAT.

Aldo looks like he could go another couple years.

Fuck that. That's disrespectful if he did that, to the sport and the fans. You always go for the finish and give your best.

I love Aldo, but if he indeed let Martinez off the hook I'm not cool with that.

Personally, I think he got the takedown to ride out the safe decision though.

I would have liked to seen Aldo close the show on the feet.

I get that you might not like it but some people respect it

Everyone is different

No that's just Aldo. He always lacked killer instinct.

He has been highly risk averse post-WEC at least. The Conor fight seemed to reinforce to him what happens when he isn't.

He briefly went back into WEC-mode vs Stephens and Moicano, likely to prove something after getting KOd by Max twice.

But the rest of his UFC career he got a total of one legit stoppage vs Mendes (Zombie was a random injury). Him becoming a decisionator has been a well kept dirty little secret in MMA fandom.

It was weak as piss is what it was.

Absolute bum move.

The Bum of Rio.

Who would you root for if Aldo fought Topuria?

I'd root for Aldo not to get hurt

 

[ryun253]

Sorry I insulted your alt account. I'll try to be more mindful next time.

Long game
Long title reign

You misinterpreted my reply. I was using the Jon.gif to exemplify your previous post.

Hahaha ok
I'll take your word for it.

 

[Dirty Frank]

I was critical of that, watching it in real time, thought it was a tactical error. I'm now convinced he was going for the safer route to a safe decision.
I definitely don't think it was a "mercy takedown".

 

[glavinator]

He just fought smart for the first time in the last decade.

He took more shots and was in more danger from all those elbows on the bottom then he was on the feet

Fuck that. That's disrespectful if he did that, to the sport and the fans. You always go for the finish and give your best.

Im a fan and he didnt disrespect me. Soon as I saw him get that late TD,i went on my radio and said "bag is secured thats a 10-4"

and updated Aldo's finance reports

Make sure we had more space in his cavernous obscenely immense vault for the incoming cash flow.
