Oh, mark you my words: Inside of that little head of Aldo's, there's a lot of emotions going on.
I see fear in his eyes. Whenever he's smiling, his smile spells out: I'm an insecure little brazillian boy, and I'm about to get Connored.
I'm not sure if you're playing or not but I have seen a lot of similar posts like this on here as of late so I'm just going to give my thoughts for those who actually do believe this.
Aldo has fought the top competition in the world for many years now and hasn't lost in nearly a decade. Conor has had a handful of fights in the UFC and the opponents are at a level that Aldo hasn't had the luxury of facing for quite a while.
Conor can get in his face and scream "ahhh!" like he's being scary but if I was the fighter Aldo was I'd do exactly what he did which was to laugh in his face. I mean, who does this guy think he is?
Aldo's win streak is higher than Conor's total win count and was against much better competition overall. The last, and only time he lost, Conor was not even a professional fighter. Not to mention the guy has spent a lot of time in the favela's where someone screaming in your face would be the very least of his daily worries. It's ridiculous for him to even attempt to try to bulldog him.
I couldn't imagine him being intimidated by Conor in any way, shape or form.
That said, I'm looking forward to the fight. I don't think McGregor realizes yet that he is making a huge leap in terms of opponent quality. I'm sure he knows this deep down but with all the praise and love he seems to be getting, it seems he believes that it doesn't matter.
If he's as good as he and his rabid fans think he is then he will make it a great fight and possibly even get the upset. If the massive step up in competition is too much for him then he will look the fool for all the yapping he has done.
I think he's very talented and will make it a tough fight but I also think Aldo is the man right now and will be more than ready to face the guy that everyone seems to be raving about. He'll be coming in extremely motivated and get the job done just like he has been doing for all these years.
