Anybody feel like Aldo's sold out?

[RiotWyatt]

He was always revered to as a humble champ who never talked trash and brought it all in the cage.

Now he's doing exactly the opposite of what he's stood for because of Conor McGregor. He's essentially trying to talk trash like McGregor in order to get attention. At least Conor has been straight forward about who he is.

 

[Frode Falch]

What a hero..

 

[Fahrenheit1221]

He's following McGregor's lead which is to talk shit, generate hype and hope it equals dollar signs. The problem is he's in a weird place right now. If he loses his next fight peoeple will be talking about Aldo in the past tense. If they're not already.

i dont care for aldo he calls out this man after he loses as if he was scared to lose again or somthing and just got some confidence. he doesnt deserve a rematch imo because he ducked the fight give it to franky who physically couldnt take it at the time. i dont like champions that take easyier options to look good.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Conor changed him indeed

 

[MMAfanboy4life]

Aldo comes off as an incredibly angry dude nowadays. Refusing to take fights that aren't title matches, and demanding the UFC reward him his rematch do nothing but taint his reputation as a supposed badass. Plus, his trash talk is horrendously unoriginal, I wish the guy would just stay quiet and fight like the FW GOAT he's supposed to be.

 

[campbecc]

As a fan I wish Aldo would have stayed above the fray and been classy. But I understand why he (or his management) made those statements to try to get the fight.

 

[Sparkie]

Conor is getting the whole stable to rethink their approach to media (and dress)

 

[12ga.]

I think Conor gave him brain damage

 

[berimBOWLoh]

Aldo making peanuts most of his career. Conor his only payday. He is smart to play up a rivalry.

Edgar needs to come out and say McGregor has AIDS and his girlfriend looks like a tranny. Then he'll get the title shot.

 

[johnyboy]

The people who can't keep up with the smack talk are the ones who say they let their actions do the talking

 

[Amst3rdam]

Mcgregory v Edgar and then McG vs Aldo again if McG wins

 

[Reaperman]

He's just so bitter and annoying to listen to. I can't stand that guy. If he is trying to be loud in order to get attention, he might be succeeding, but in my opinion he's just coming off like a total imbecile.......

Nah. He'll only get a title shot of he says McGregor's girlfriend IS a tranny.

1st he's accused of being too quiet being boring not sell fight and promoting like Conor. Now he talks up and puts himself out there after a devastating loss now he's being out of character not true to himself a sell out...?

If anything he was revered more for his quiet humbleness than anything. I liked it when he just went in the cage and did his thing. I don't like this Aldo at all.

 

[Abazzdeboom]

Conor got into his mind and broke it then he knock the old josé out of that body

 

[itz reggie]

Aldo is on the downside of his career trying to stay relevant you can't blame him. With all his injuries and what conor did to his chin WEC Aldo is long gone.

I think he gave him dain bamage.
