Aldo won't explode on Conor in 1st

[Lissove]

Remember what's most important in dealing with pressure and adrenaline - doing your usual stuff. In the interviews he very calmly and without hesitation stated that it will be a usual fight, if 5 rounder then 5 rounder. This means he won't go for a finish like Mendes but play smart instead, win exchanges and pile on damage, what will come easy as Aldo is very quick and apprehensive. I suppose by seriously injuring him he means the possibility of kicking Conor's open body or legs all the ring time until he collapses in pain. Conor will be just too slow for Aldo.

Aldo will ease it in until round two before really making it hurt. Just pounding on Conor before exploding on him. Conor's heart will be tested as he takes all Aldo has for him.

Aldo has never been a super fast starter, he picks people apart. I think he kicks McGregor's leg a lot for the first 2 rounds to slow him down a bit.

Premature ejaculation jokes will be coming quickly TS

*Pause*

I think they meet in the middle and stuff starts happening

 

[Gabe]

Aldo needs to take a page out of the Dongs book and wait until the 2nd or 3rd round to explode.

What would be interesting is if Aldo pulls an early career Machida on Conor.

I think it all comes down to whether Aldo can implement his leg kicks.

If not, Conor should be able to land damaging punches.

id almost be disappointed to see an aldo vs cub moment happen.

Hoping for a good scrap, see aldo coming out on top for sure

I think they will be a non factor with conor keeping him back-pedalling with alot of high kicks and spinning kicks

Aldo likes to throw combinations and then catching them retreating with a good leg kick. I don't see Conor evading those. And Conor does retreat when he sees it's not a favorable exchange.

My pants just got tight.

I think round 1 will be more of McGregor trying to impose his will and unleashing a bit of his gas tank. What he does with that is the unknown. If CMG expends a lot of energy and Aldo can take minimal damage it is his for the taking.

Conor will dictate the pace of this fight

A lot will depend on his weight cut

If it is a bad cut Aldo might survive the early onslought and he could take it to the ground and get a decision

If Conor has a Poirier fight cut he will stop Aldo with strikes in the late rounds

Aldo has been preparing for this fight for the past 15 months and bet he has been doing serious cardio to prepare

But Conors pressure will be like nothing he has ever experienced and its fascinating to see how it ends


If Aldo turns up at all

 

[Jesse James]

Aldo will take this anyway he wants......it will be like watching a man fight a boy....Conor is done....he should be looking for a way to skip this one...

Conor's pressure will end with some knockdowns like against Siver, but Aldo will be able to capitalize.
