a lot of people claim that Jose Aldo didn't "fight like himself" against Conor

[skullmaskkid]

But has he ever rushed like that in the first 13 seconds?

Usually its well into a fight, after he has introduced other threats like kicks, takedowns, etc. So his opponent is already wary and has been forced to respect his abilities.

He went into a reckless boxing exchange with Conor right off the bat.

rushed in against Cub in 7 seconds

lucky for him Cub wasn't on the Conor level

Excellent post that thoroughly dispels the myth that Aldo was 'off' that night. I've said it over and over again, Aldo was not mad, angry or lashing out. He just genuinely thought Conor was a 'joker' and thought he could embarrass him with an early finish. He underestimated Conor's abilities. What he could get away with against lesser featherweights got him in big trouble against the first opponent he's faced that's better than him.

Aldo was going to get caught eventually. Conor studied that combo from Aldo to perfection. Whether he threw it in the second round or 10 seconds into the first, Conor was ready for it.

a small wild brawling kickboxer like Aldo is ALWAYS gonna get slept by a precision taller striker like Conor

this is the law of nature

 

[Squintz]

Conor stood his ground like a boss as always with balls of steel and threw a ridiculously timed counter.

Who else stays in the pocket like Conor ?

Maybe Overeem.

Maybe Overeem.

so 15 seconds of "running", truthfully resetting, in a 5 round fight?

damn u really hit it out of the park

you dumb pleb

 

[Bewareofdawg]

then how you explain this? Aldo rushing in chin first with the same sloppy wild brawling combo against Mark Hominick and Kenny Florian:

note the inability to counter due to shitty footwork on the part of Hominick and Florian.

when he tried it against someone that can box:

Truth of the matter is Jose Aldo fought EXACTLY like himself and he got wrecked for it.
Jose was literally BEGGING to be countered his entire career. Anyone with good boxing would have SLEPT small sloppy kickboxer down flat much earlier in his career.

Later in those fights. It's ALOT different.

It wasn't a rush, it was calculated.

He feinted, Cub ducked and created an opening, so Aldo went for it.

Vs Conor there wasn't an opening. He just went for it.

*Better than him on the feet.

How can you tell in 13 seconds

Because the only move Aldo made was a move he always makes in fights. He didnt fight out of caractor.

everything is calculated until it doesn't work. Aldo feinted against Conor too, just got read like a book

 

[omawho402]

Hominic countered with a nice left hook, but looks like he didn't put any power behind it. The opening was there

 

[Taric]

You can't garner any information in 13 seconds.

the opening is always there. JOse Aldo has been BEGGING to be countered his entire career, Nate Diaz would slept him as well as BJ Penn

 

[avengedsixfold]

Funny how Aldo is just some bum according to some Conor fans. Are they trying to discredit his best win?

Want to see a rematch.

Idk about Nate Diaz sleeping anyone lol, other than Maynard. I do get your point though, Aldo is open

 

[2GunTommy]

Maybe Overeem.

Good point.
Taking 30 seconds of a 5rd fight as an accurate assessment of that fight or of that fighters behavior is always the best way to prove a point.

 

[MRT]

He has never fought Holloway,and frankies striking is poor

ooooops...my bad on Max. *blush*

maybe I am foreseeing the future? LOL

Frankie's striking may not be elite, by MMA standards, but it is not "poor"...come on now.
