Aldo deserving of the flak he gets for pulling out? The numbers...

[Smoking Indoors]

Conor McGregor ratio 0

Of title defenses in his entire career multiplied by over 9,000.

 

[Nukes]

Everytime Aldo pulled out, he ruined an event. Your ratios matter very little.

 

[CPH]

Now redo thse figures, but only include TITLE FIGHTS

And you will see Aldo and GSP top of the tree.

Its not "puling out of fights" people have the issue with its "pulling out of title fights/main cards"

LOL...

When you are the most decorated champions the sport has ever seen (Aldo, GSP, Jones), the end of your career, which is when your body is starting to get worn down, is going to be a long stretch of title fights. Come on man, try to be just a little bit objective.

 

[The Best JG]

Matt riddle pulled out 9 times?? wtf

 

[The Best JG]

Nah you forgot he finished mendes in their first fight Via the dirtiest cage grab you've ever seen in your life to knee combo.

Cage grab to knee combo LMAO

 

[CPH]

The ratios don't matter why? Because they contradict your stance?

Every time GSP and Jones pulled out, they ruined an event. What's your point? Long-standing champions defend and defend and defend non-stop as their body breaks down from having gone through 20 + camps/fights and previous difficult title defenses. It's not reprehensible. It's absolutely normal.

Did you even watch that fight?

Mendes took Aldo down right after that fence grab. It had nothing to do with the TKO.

Quit repeating this horseshit.

Since joining the UFC he's been an absentee champion:

You talking about Conor? The guy who won the title, said he'd defend it, but just held onto it for a year without scheduling a single title defense and then was stripped of his title? That absentee champ?

 

[John Cena]

technically you could say Conor pulled out midway through the 2nd round of both Diaz fights.

Technically, you can say that he didn't pull outta Dee

So all of Aldo's pullouts were at the end of his career?

ok then..

right....

 

[Agnawedbone]

Dude, the whole point of Aldo getting flak is him pulling out of UFC title fights. That means ruined cards. No one cares who pulls out on the regional circuit. His UFC title fight pull-out rate is 50%, which sucks for fans.

5 times in 9 UFC fights.

You dipshits mean 5 times in 14 UFC fights, or a pull-out rate of 36%. Doesn't sound nearly as bad when you aren't lying, hunh?

 

[CPH]

enjoy your troll thread and childish insults.

Every single one of you who has been fighter bashing Aldo for pulling out of fights has the stats in front of him now. Not some complex stats I cooked up - just super basic numbers which I found on Bloody Elbow.

If you are going to continue to pretend that you were right, that your derision was justified because Aldo pulled out of 6 fights compared to Jones' 5, then you deserve much worse than the vanilla 'insults' I occasionally dish out.

 

[skullmaskkid]

Dude somehow got a FW title shot without fighting Edgar, Swanson, Lamas, Oliveira, Stephens. Guy had 2 top 10 wins and one of those was against Mendes on 8 days notice. He was and still is protected from good grapplers

you mean like Eddie Alvarez and Chad Mendes? don't make me dig through your post history and find posts you made about how Eddie Alvarez is a bigger Chad and was gonna expose Conor.

Thats fucking BULLSHIT and you know it. watch it again, Mendes put all of his energy into that take down, he had aldo HIGH up. Aldo was about to get slammed big time and it was half a minute from the end of the round, That take down would have very likely secured mendes the second round. the next take down didn't have Half the amount of "oomph" and aldo was able to land on his knees, the first one would have put him on his back for sure. Whatever the case, that cage grab should have been a sepration and a point deduction from aldo. but i don't blame aldo for that that was the officials.

 

[CPH]

right....

Oh... you got me there.... No, you are right: he didn't pull out 6 consecutive times this year, therefore: not 'at the end of his career'

 

[Fight Professor]

Weidman, Jacare and Cain should get honorable mentions.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Total fights doesn't make sense because many fighters are very active early on in their careers, or possibly fought many easy jobbers to stat pad their records.

Can you re-calculate for when fighters were supposed to main or co-main a card? That would better serve your argument

Nobody cares about how many fights Aldo pulled out before he was champ, but as champ it seems very frequent.

No, it's not bullshit.

Mendes WAS able to take him down right after the fence grab. The problem is that just getting Aldo down, no matter how "high up" he had him, doesn't mean shit. And right after that TD, Aldo bounced right back up, per usual. So just getting him down doesn't add anything to your argument.

The rest of your post is pure speculation, however, you saying that Aldo got the knee to the head TKO via the 'most nasty fence grab you've seen in your life' seems to imply that Aldo grabbed the fence, then immediately knocked Mendes out, because of the grab. Which is not the case, and is repeated on these forums ad nauseum.

Even if we pretend that Aldo didn't grab the fence and Mendes was able to get Aldo down.

What makes you think that this particular TD was any different than the one that happened right after it, and why wouldn't Aldo just spring right back up to his feet, as he demonstrated in the TD right after the fence grab?

You can't be serious. Go to the mirror, look yourself in the eye and say that had ZERO effect on the outcome of the fight.

Yea no injuries but he just doesn't show up when he doesn't get his way. Much more better.

I like how his "fans" gave him almost 200k likes for not wanting to fight. What the hell lol. Although half of those may have been computer generated from India.
