Does Aldo get hurt by those Edgar punches if they're thrown by a power puncher (e.g. McGregor)?

[brackis1]

He got clipped with at least 4-5 big shots that I can recall.
What say you?
I've always considered Edgar to be on the Bisping side of the power spectrum. Great fight by Aldo nonetheless; Edgar landing is a result of handspeed.

Chad Mendes 1st round KO says hello.

I think you know the answer to this question. That's why I won't be answering it.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

A lot of the shots edgar lands are because of the threat of takedown.

So you're wondering if Conor can KO Jose Aldo?

 

[what-wut]

Yes. Also the threat of leg kicks is less because Conor is a southpaw

Luke Rockhold and Chad Mendes seemed to have considered the same, look where it got them.

I think Conor will have a harder time getting inside to land those shots than Edgar. Unless of course Aldo comes charging in like he did last time, to which Conor will respond with a counter. I'd like to see how the fight plays out if Conor goes on the offensive and pursues Aldo.
He doesn't have Edgar's movement, but he has more height / reach.

I'm wondering if he would have KO'ed and/or dropped Aldo with the shots Edgar landed. He seemed to connect flush with Aldo at numerous junctures of the fight.

Conor will have.... a harder time?

Seriously? Not only is he taller than Edgar, he's taller and has more reach than Aldo. And way better movement than Edgar.

What a weird question.

 

[OneManGang]

If thrown by McGregor, they are no longer Edgar punches. If thrown by Mendes, they are no longer Edgar punches. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

 

[TobikanJudan94]

The rematch is never gonna happen. Conor would get Serra's in that case anyways.

This post gives me a headache. Your asking if the punches Frankie threw would work on Aldo if they came from McGregors hands? 1. Very odd question. It's like me asking If I think My punches would work if I had Mark Hunt throw them for me. 2. Your question is answered months ago when Aldo and McGregor fought. 3. Sure?

What a weird question.

In what universe does Conor have better movement than Frankie? Definitely not this one.

In the universe where his movement doesn't consist of awkwardly running forward with arm punches to catch opponents, aka this one.

That.
That's seriously the best assessment you can put forth of his movement? He's been mauling fighters for years and years by "awkwardly running forward with arm punches?" Come on now, let's use common sense here.

In no universe does Frankie manage to pull off something like this:
