Media Free fight: Aldo vs Mendes 2

[Bend NvR Break]

Aldo is one of my favorite fighters ever so he has all my respect no worries. Atleast he used to be before Conor hit him so hard he forgot how to throw legkicks.

McGregor didn't do that. I can't remember him throwing leg kicks in the 2 Mendes, Llamas, 2 edgar or KZ fights.

He just fell in love with his boxing. He was flirting with leaving mma for boxing for a second.

One the classics. A video worth posting here, if anyone missed this. Those were some crazy times at 145.

as for the thread, one of the greatest fights of all time between 2 of the most skilled, well rounded, and explosive fighters of all time. Both men were never the same again after this great war. Respect

Cry more

Stop it. He's too small.. T-Rex Arms always getting KO'd by Conor.. We saw nothing in the career of Chad to say he can beat Conor.. Zero..

We saw him whoop Conor for 9 minutes and 42 seconds before he gassed and got punched.

We also saw Conor beg to get stood up and Herb Dean telling him "no work out of it" because Mendes was landing on him.

We say him whoop Conor for 9 minutes and 42 seconds before he gassed and got punched.

Hardly.. He laid on top of Conor and did little damage.. On the feet he got blasted to the body.. Didn't last 2 rounds..

Was drunk as hell during that fight and remember going nuts. Amazing fight with both guys going at it.

Why are desperate Conor fans dropping his name in threads unrelated to him?

 

[EricSpider]

One of the best title fights of all time. Super underrated.

Dude was eating cheetos lying on Uriah Faber's couch coming off an extended hunting trip when he got the call to fight McGregor.

McGregor had been in a constant camp since fighting Brandão. Check it. A fight every 3 to 6 months. He was living in fighting shape.

As a sensible human being, if McGregor was allowed to right the lose he got from Cabo Nate both Mendes and Aldo had better claims to rematches. Both could have avenged their losses. Both could have loss again.

And at the end of the fight McGregor was the only one bleeding.

Nate Diaz would destroy Aldo and Mendes in a 1vs2. Just because he lost to Conor doesnt mean he isnt one of the best fighters to have ever lived.

lmfao this is delusional.

Compare his gas tank to the second also fight where he was doing ALOT. He went for a ton of takedowns (which consistently got stuffed, something that depletes your gas like a hummer) and most likely spent all of his time cutting weight. Mendes is a very big featherweight and was out of camp enjoying his holiday. This isn't like Max cutting to 155 and looking the same. He straight up had 0 time to prepare for a guy who was planning on fighting fucking Aldo for months.

Yeah he said this endlessly after getting laid out.. He showed nothing in his career that leads anyone to believe he can beat Conor.. He can't strike with Conor. And Conor is not getting laid on for 25 minutes. Chad is not big enough to do it.

McGregor had been in a constant camp since fighting Brandão. Check it. A fight every 3 to 6 months. He was living in fighting shape.

And he was training to fight Aldo.. Not a compact wrestler in Chad. So he did not work with many training partners to mimic Chad.. Still KO'd him inside 2 rounds..

Conor's FW resume is insane. He was not the most accomplished long term. But of that time he was the most dominant. He beat everyone worth beating other than Frankie. And Frankie never held the belt..

 

[torry]

It was pretty much downhill for the both of them after this fight

You just had to do it did you? This thread has nothing to do with conor.

Do you dress up as Dee in your free time?

I worry for Conor’s safety if he ever runs into you

Your infatuation is strange dude

If he took the fight then he believed that he could be Conor under those conditions...

 

[Cooliox]

One of my favorite fights ever

Still have no idea how Aldo survived the Shoryuken by Mendes. Didn't even drop!

Is this a forum to discuss baked goods? I think you are lost. "Why are you talking about a fighter on Sherdog" Yeah dude.. You are lost..

Aldo's camp leaked whether on purpose or accident that they were going to focus on taking McGregor down and using Aldo's bjj to end the fight.

In response, McGregor's camp purposefully told the media they were focusing on McGregor's TDD.

You weren't around on Sherdog for that?

McGregor had a camp designed to stay on his feet. Until Mendes gassed McGregor wasn't executing that plan.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. But reasons aren't excuses.

Yeah I am sure Conor was real concerned about Aldo a smaller man, with no wrestling creds pulling a Matt Hughes on him..

Everyone trains TDD. That's part of fight prep.. But Aldo is not a wrestler, he does the same thing in 95% of his fights. Which has nothing to do with double leg TD's, top control, GNP or anything that Chad is known for. So miss me with that Bullshit son.. Aldo did what Aldo does.. And got laid out.. You want to cherry pick a few TD's go for it. But he is no wrestler..
