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

[synyster]

There is a reason Connor didnt fight Lamas, Edgar or Cub for a title shot. And all those guys lost to Aldo, your boy is gonna get lit up at his own game. Speed kills.

 

[Da Speeink]

I would throw in better-looking but not sure that has any baring on the fight. I think Conor wins a competitive decision.

 

[Tsar]

While Conor just might be better than Aldo, he just hasn't been tested to the point where anyone can claim that he is technically sounder, faster, stronger, has better cardio or good enough grappling skills to contend with Aldo.

yeah, it's too soon to say. his lack of wins against top five people makes it hard to gauge where he is skill wise. that said, siver may not be top ten but he's no slouch and conor dominated so he looks promising. it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

 

[ThunderStruck]

Faster? Are you serious? you fucking dumbass Conor cheerleaders are retarded. Aldo is twice as fast. You can't be serious.

Was it 's because he was just so much bigger, longer, faster, stronger and has better cardio than them all???

 

[Aikidoka]

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

Exactly. The hype is annoying. Very annoying.

What makes people think this will be different from every other Conor fight?

10/10 - great. Yeah, what's all the hype fellas? Who's this Jose Aldo dude anyway and what has he proven compared to what Conor has proven? What victories does he have that Conor's victories don't surpass? What exactly makes this any different than any other Aldo fight? Sorry, I mean 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.

No, not Khabib-like wrestling, but Cobrinha-like bjj, yes, he does. http://www.graciemag.com/2012/01/5-of-jose-aldos-most-memorable-jiu-jitsu-matches/

Dynamic as Conor? Maybe not but BETTER than Conor? It sure appears so so far. Conor can be more beautiful to watch, but he's done NOTHING in the world of striking to compare with what Aldo has done. Aldo's beat the elite. Conor hasn't even fought one yet. And his first will be the best ever in the division. Good luck, Conor.

Why will this be a stand up fight? If Jose's losing the standup, which is admittedly unlikely, do you honestly think he'll vacate his belt before grappling?

if I turned it around and asked why Conor fans feel he can survive the leg kicks or the TDs, they'd be like crickets, right?

EDIT: And neither Conor's punches nor his kicks are faster than Aldo's. His grappling presumably not even on the same planet, in terms of skill level.

I can't wait for this. And I like Conor a lot, but he said "fuck him" about Jose Aldo, so he has to get his badge ripped off for that. And as much as I believe in fairness, I will have to watch it happen. Grinning.

But I like Conor.

Jones is bigger, longer, faster, younger, stronger and has better cardio than Cain.

Yeah but Cain has dat mexican coco Jones would tap out for.

 

[Aikidoka]

The hype is so big it's not even interesting anymore.

 

[SlicerDM]

The Conor hype train is disrespectful to Aldo's reign. Best fighter on the planet constantly being discredited by the UFC, sherdoggers. Aldo will end the train with an iron fist.

Aldo is far from the best fighter on the planet.

The reason Aldo seems so much quicker is because he throws everything at 100% and Conor doesn't. Aldo forces his punches and goes 100% in every single burst after he takes educated rests so he doesn't tire too quickly.

The percentage stuff needs to stop. A jab can be one of the quickest punches out there, but also thrown with relatively low power. This fact, alone, debunks any claim about speed and power having any absolute relation. We have no clue as to how much power Aldo throws in any given strike, and even if we had a clue, we couldn't verify it (at least during fight time).

Also, Aldo doesn't throw 100% all the time. He's actually a very crisp, controlled, and varied striker, even when countering on the receiving end. He's certainly much tighter than his own stable-mate, Barao, for example. Aldo utilizes a wealth of offensive techniques, such as the aforementioned jab (gifs), and combinations which include attacks to the body, or leg kicks.

Aldo looks fast, because he is fast. He also happens to hit hard. If anyone has been forcing the punching, lately, you can argue that it's been McGregor: Conor McGregor: The Puncher's Path - Post-Script

Ald-who?

Physics would like to talk to you, it seems you have been ignoring it and it is upset.

The only reasoning i'm hearing from Aldo fans is

- Strength of schedule
- Yet the only lengthy southpaw fighters he's fought were a sub specialist with mediocre striking(Florian) and KZ who he broke his own foot against after becoming too overly reliant on his right inside kick to right lead leg & KZ had checked it with an easy quick invert of his lead leg.

- Speed
- Do you honestly believe his speed will negate a 4" reach disadvantage against a guy with a devastatingly accurate straight left? Chad fucking Mendes put him on his arse FFS

- Devasting kicks
- His right foot is indeed devastating, against orthodox stance fighters. He has much further distance to travel to hit a southpaws inside leading leg & risks breaking his foot against Conor's shin when its checked(ala KZ fight)and/or risks his kick getting timed/caught & countered with a lightning fast left straight down his throat.

Conor sure has some terrible fucking fans.

You could add his grappling to that. Conor will have nothing if Aldo decides to go NCAA on his ass.

Worlds apart in BJJ levels

Aldo better in the clinch.


And in Conor's case: He has looked phenomenal against the kinds of guys who don't get to fight Aldo because they're not good enough.

There is really NOTHING in Conor's corner. Nothing proven anyway.

Finally!!!

Aldo's scrambling is also top f'n shelf!!
