I wonder what he's going to do when he realizes all the talk in the world won't stop Aldo from beating his ass. He seems to want to make an enemy out of everyone in the division. It can't possible play out well for him because even if he beats Aldo he has also pissed all over the likes of Mendes, Lamas, and Frankie. No way he is ever a long reigning champion unless he is the greatest of all time. Its the only way and that seems unlikely.
Maybe Aldo's biggest weapon against McGregor is to dismiss him. To act like the king who is being challenged by his jester. To ignore him. Aldo should just act like he doesn't exist and not acknowledge him in any way. Wonder if it would make McGregor pop a bleeder in his head.
was conor supposed to assault aldo? lol
its all for publicity
Is it just me, or is there a little girl there who looks like she wants to wreck some shit if only she wasn't being restrained.
He hopped on the table and held him for balance. Nice attempt to discredit him though.
So Aldo claims he's the king and McGregor is the jester. Now look at this gif :
Let's ignore for a moment the fact that McGregor is hiding behind the security guard. McGregor runs towards Aldo, puts up an act and Aldo just sincerely laughs, like a king would laugh at his jester.
I don't even like McGregor but I felt bad for him. That must have hit him hard.
I know you're just trolling, but Alexis Davis got absolutely humiliated by Rousey. I've never seen a humiliating destruction like that
Has a fighter ever been as humiliated as McGregor?
I don't even like McGregor but I felt bad for him. That must have hit him hard.
Making an enemy out of everyone in the division just means more big pay days win or lose (much like Sonnen Tito or Wandy did). No matter what happends he will probably have to fight Mendes, Lamas, and Frankie at some time. Trash talking wont change how they fight
Exactly. Conor is full of bravado and Aldo is full of idgaf. This and not coming into the cage to face Conor is the most interesting Aldo has ever been outside of the cage.I hate how people try to hate on Mcgregor saying he was scared. The truth is this was a strait up bad ass moment for both fighters. It showed both their personalities perfectly. I loved this exchange.
It only means more big pay days if he is winning. The moment one of these top dog fighters deals him a loss the train is going to derail. Then he can get back to winning or become obscure because if he loses a second time nobody is going to take him seriously anymore. He has put himself in a situation where its win and keep winning or all the talk in the world is not going to matter.
I guess it works right now because he is winning but he has made the entire top 5 guys really not like him. That means that every fight he takes from here on out the guy he is fighting is going to train extra hard and gameplan with anyone who will help to stop this guy.
We know Lamas doesn't like him. If Lamas ever gets a fight with him he is going to train harder than he has ever trained probably. Frankie, same thing. Frankie doesn't want to get embarrassed, he is going to come loaded for bear. This is assuming he beats Aldo, then he is going to have to beat Aldo a second time in a rematch which will guaranteed be granted to Aldo. This doesn't even touch on the fact that McGregor told Chad "Money" Mendes that he would rest his balls on his head in front of a room full of people. You think an alpha like Mendes isn't already salivating to get his hands on McGregor?
McGregor's fan will play this off as no big deal but I'm telling you. I have never seen a guy make more enemies of more bad ass fighters in such a short time. Bones Jones couldn't piss off the light heavies this much if he tried. Look at what happened to Chael. He made an enemy out of A. Silva and Bones Jones by talking shit and in the end he got WRECKED by both.
