Conor and Gunnar Nelson learning some weird voodoo movement BS(warning: long sticks)

Aldo almost went pro about 15 years ago iirc

when he was 14?

 

[Tomb Stone]

when he was 14?

That's really not that unheard of. Especially not at 15-16.

Messi was already one of the best, playing for Barcelona at 18.

 

[Greyskull]

that really doesnt mean very much. The standard of soccer in Brazil below the top few clubs (Corinthians, Santos, Inter) Is pretty poor.

How many Copa Libartaores have Brazilian clubs won since 2000? about 5 in 15 years, all the decent Brazilians are in Europe.

FIFA rankings Brazil are only the 4th best team in South America right now.

Lol.

First saying the top clubs in Brazil are Corinthians, Santos and Inter.

Second. Brazil has 5 world titles, trying to diminish brazilian players is foolish.

Third. Using FIFA rankings.

Just lol.

Brazil has 5 world titles, trying to diminish brazilian players is foolish.

And Liverpool have five European cups, but that doesnt mean we are currently the best in the world.

Three of those world titles were before Aldo was even born.

So the point was, that "nearly turning pro" in Brazil, not the strongest of football leagues in the world, isnt particularly anything to write home about.


And actually, the poster i was mentioning was saying that Aldo nearly being pro in Brazil was so much better than better than McGregor being a good footballer in Ireland...

First world cup of both Aldo and McGregor's lifetime, the 2000 world cup

Brazil got knocked out in the last 16
Ireland made the last 8

 

[youknownow]

very smooth and good strength, good to watch

 

[Jackonfire]

Yeah the spinning kick might be a bit harder to master. Agree.

 

[Jackonfire]

Also is screwed, his gameplan relies heavily on slowly moving a stick towards his opponent.

Underrated comment.

Again, you're downplaying brazilian players. Of course the best Brazilian players are in Europe, that's where the money is, but where do you think they did start playing? In Brazil, of course.

And World Cup in 2000? You lost me, bro.

There was no world cup in the year 2000.

There was one in 1998 where Brazil reached the final. And there was one in 2002 that brazil won.

 

[cheezum]

Conor is nowhere near as athletic as Aldo or Mendes.

 

[serr]

Aldo isn't as fluid, but has really sharp hits. I think if Aldo doesn't stand there trying to figure Conor out too much, then he'll win.

1990. brain fart.

Point is, the person i was responding too was downplaying Irish football and up-playing Aldo's footballing capabilities because he nearly turned pro in Brazil. Suggesting that Brazil are superior by some margin.

Aldo and McGregor's first world cup after they were born was 1990 (Italy)

Ireland made the 1/4 finals
Brazil got knocked out in the last 16

 

[LoopingRight]

Ido Portal is the man. Been following him for years on youtube.

You have no idea what athletic means, huh?

uh, yeah brazil's overall ability in the sport is way higher than ireland

i agree, turning pro doesnt mean much, but the quality of players here is a lot bigger, they just all end up playing abroad

Is that the guy who gassed after a few minutes against conor and got promptly KTFO?

Oh dear you really walked into that one.

some of the stuff in ido's video is pretty impressive

Maybe its just a smarter approach to training ? Look at the wear and tear some fighters have put themselves through in training, especially with hard sparing, it adds up.

As for the whole who's the better footballer, it's probably Aldo but who give a shit ? It has no bearing on who is the better fighter and we wont find that out until about 2 weeks time.

I know a lot of Sherbros are completely critical of everything, but I really thought it was a cool video. He isn't someone I'd want to hang out with because he seems like one of those 100% serious all the time characters, but as far as training, I envy his core stability, balance, and flexibility. It really is impressive.
