Conor is bigger, longer, faster, younger, stronger and has better cardio than Jose

Conor won. He's getting the Anderson Silva/Jon Jones quick jump in competition now. No more hypotheticals, we'll get to see if he sinks or floats. Why speculate?

lol j/k aldo by murder

I have asked you this before. Got no response. Is that Bubbles the Muscle Shark in your AV?
 
He is not faster than Aldo why keeps everyone saying this.
He also never went 5 rounds so we don't knwo what his cardio is like maybe it's better than Aldo's maybe it's shit.
How do you know he's stronger than Aldo?

Also what about fucking technique.

This is egtting out og hand Mcgregor is talnted but wow is this hype annoying
Annoying? Lol you're just fuckin JEALOUS
 
I have to disagree with this for one reason, if you shadow box you notice that punches and kicks thrown at less than 100% force, are actually much quicker than punches or kicks meant to inflict maximum damage. So actually, Connor throwing at less power actually would make his punches seem faster. Make sense?

Of course, if you watch Conor shadow box you can see his crazy hand speed. But look at him in his fights, you can tell he isn't throwing all of his strikes at 100%, because he knows he doesn't need to. Muhammad Ali is actually another guy that was like this (no, I am not comparing Ali and Conor, I'm not insane) Ali knew he didn't have to throw everything at 100%, he never forced his punches, he picked his shots intelligently, was very accurate and is known for being able to throw the rear straight like a jab, much like Conor also throws the rear straight (only he's southpaw, so rear left) like a jab. It doesn't have tons of power packed behind it, but it's landing and if it's landing, you're winning and after awhile, those shots will take some serious effect on your opponent.

Aldo, on the other hand, watch him and you see that he forces his punches, he goes 100% on every strike. His strikes look very forced, whereas Conor's look a lot smoother and he's a lot more accurate because of it.

He's still throwing at a good speed, he isn't pulling a Nick Diaz or anything like that, but look at him shadow box and then look at him in his fights, he's not throwing at full speed in his fights.

Then look at Aldo, he's always going 100% on his punches and kicks. You can tell that Aldo is basically throwing as hard as he can, in short bursts, he still plays it smart and takes educated rests.

If Conor wanted to, he could easily do the same thing. He could throw everything at 100% and it would make his strikes look quicker because he's trying harder.


It's the same with Nick Diaz, in a way. Look at him earlier in his career, Nick never was really explosive, but you can tell that earlier in his career, his punches came at you quicker and with more heat on them, whereas today, he simply relies on volume and throws like 60%, much slower punches, but he is picking his shots, making him more accurate, instead of throwing at 100%, forcing his strikes, and being very, very sloppy.
 
Aldo fans keep throwing it out there that Conor has shit striking defence. Siver's striking defence %age was ranked 4th among active FW's with at least 5 fights in the Division. Conor's striking defence %age was higher but was unranked due to only having 4fights on his ledger.

Look at Conor's face at his post fight pressers. Now go look at Aldo's.

I'm still waiting to see these "devastating" left outside leg kicks to a southpaws lead leg gifs of Aldo's that a lot of folk are predicting will lead to a TKO victory for Jose?

Jose isn't dangerous with both feet like Pettis. The only significant damage he's inflicted with his left foot was:

- An inside thigh kick to sub specialist Florian, whose striking is v mediocre
- A self inflicted broken foot against KZ's shin after a simple check to another inside left kick.

Conor has length, speed & accuracy. The perfect antidote to Jose's point scoring explosiveness.



EDIT: Scratch the 2nd example. He broke his right foot from being too over reliant on it against a southpaw.

I'm kind of disappointed you put your account on the line.

After repeatedly making statements like this you really should have to stick around so we can all make fun of you.

I seriously enjoy reading that guy he truly makes me laugh. He talks like Conor has this amazing body of work in fights that all should be totally awed and amazed by, when in reality Conor as fought 5 fights in the UFC and only 3 of them were against guys that had real fight rep and even then Conor was predicted to win.

Aldo was a champ in WEC voted fighter of the year in 2009 by Sherdog & MMA Live. When UFC took over WEC Aldo did not miss a beat in securing down that UFC FW title and continues to be his.

Conor looks like a real good young contender that I can't deny, but I don't get all starry eyed because the guy has a fancy style against lesser opponents. Aldo is not a lesser opponent he's the man on top and for very good reason because his belt says "I've beaten the very best in the world" what's Conor's claim to fame most twitter follwers of any mma fighter..?
 
If Conor wanted to, he could easily do the same thing. He could throw everything at 100% and it would make his strikes look quicker because he's trying harder.

I think you're missing my point, or at least, seemed like you had it, then said this near the end. If he did go 100% on his strikes in a fight, he would not look faster, that's what I'm saying, you can punch faster if you have less force on it.

and also with your same logic, Aldo could do the same kind of things Connor does, use less force, throw shots that are not really meant to damage, and he would look faster/quicker.

I think it's a mute point.
 
What makes people think this will be different from every other Conor fight? Does Jose posses some kind of Khabib-like wrestling technique? Or is he as dynamic as Conor on the feet? This will be a stand up fight, and Conor is better in the stand-up, everywhere. The sooner Jose fans realize this fact, the easier the loss will feel.

Why are you McG fans so insecure that you keep making these threads? Are you trying to convince yourself of these "facts"?

McG hasn't even faced anyone of the calibre of Aldo's opponents. How can you hope he has a chance against the man himself?
 
Have as much cardio as you want. When you're limping around because your leg looks like something OP would throw on the grill at his wendy's burger flipping job that cardio wont do shit

That's not very nice...however, it did make me lol, legit!
 
Haahaha Conor is good but this era he will not become a champion because Jose is the champ. If Conor is so good he already a champion of the UFC long time ago.
 
While I'm not going to pick apart each fighter and his performances...good or bad, let's look at something else, that can't be measured; heart and mind.

What do most dominant champs have? Both of these. That is what creates the "aura" that surrounds them.

Specifically, because of what happened to them, look at Anderson Silva or Renan Barao. They had the aura like Aldo, Jones and Cain have...the ability to put fear or doubt in their opponents' minds before they even taste a punch/kick or takedown.

But what happened when they fought a challenger who looked past that aura and saw them as only what they are...extremely gifted/skilled men. TJ and Chris had some HUGE confidence going in their respective fights and it showed. The fact that they are also extremely gifted/talented helps, of course, but the mind is a very powerful tool when you fight. If it breaks, which we have seen with MANY title challengers, there is next to no chance in hell to rally a comeback.

Now, I'm not suggesting Aldo will fall...but the reality is that he very well could. Conor has some great tools to work with. We've seen his fights and we know what he's capable of. He fights differently then most do in the cage. He walks his opponent down and doesn't get into a game of tag. He goes and does what he wants. Skill...of course he has this in spades...but it's also his confidence.

A person that has the utmost belief in themselves to accomplish greatness has a huge upper hand when it comes to...anything, really. His will/mind/heart was also tested in the Max fight when he incurred an injury. He continued to put a beatdown on Max (who as of late, looks like fantastic - a topic for another date) throughout the fight. Conor is a real threat to Aldo and anyone who doesn't see that is blind.

Now for Aldo...there isn't much to say. He is a champion, a P4P great and one of the greatest of all time. He is all that for a reason. He is a true champion in every sense of the word...his heart/mind cannot be questioned. He has put it on the line numerous times and has showed why is one of the greatest. I believe Conor has never faced anyone else (or remotely close) to Aldo. I also believe it is true on the other side.

Sorry for the long rant...and of course, this is just my 0.02. I just figured with all the fanboy bitching back and forth we can use some clarity and facts.

IMHO, this fight is a real pick-em'...either man can win or fall. For the record, I am rooting for Conor.
 
Fail TS.

Aldo is the better striker, kick boxer, boxer, and grappler. His muy Thai, ju jitsu, TDD, judo, and dirty boxing is above average. His cardio can last as long as anyone's and his length and timing is used to his advantage every time he fights flawlessly.

Aldo via TKO over Conor. I'm sick an tired of These fucking bandwagon fanboys. McGregor is good, yes, but hop off the man nut sack. You fake fanboys are worst than actual fanboys, and make us root against who your rooting for.
 
I'm not sure about the speed and cardio factor. He is quick when he wants to be so that's up in the air but I would have to pick Jose there. The cardio is another unknown. He went the distance with Max Holloway but that's a while back now and with all that weight cutting we just don't know what he's like now for 3,4,5 rounds.. Jose doesn't have a great tank anyway and I don't care what his fans say about winning the last round against Mendes. He visibly slowed down after the first round against a little bodybuilder.

He does have the reach, power, boxing and technique advantage tho but he may struggle if it goes to ground.

Still think Conor is gonna beat him tho.

I agree actually. Mcgoober is physically superior, because Aldo has declined physically owing to his long career in fighting. Aldo has better footwork, antiwrestling and kicks though.

Is your descriptive title from personal experience?

No homo?
 
But is he a better mixed martial artist/fighter though? We will soon find out.
