How would McGregor vs Aldo 2 @ 145 play out?

[Titan1980]

didn't Aldo lose to Holloway whom Mcgregor also beat?

Serious brah? Conor is a stud. Are you being facicious?

As others have said. Conor has no chance of making 145 at this point. I would be an interesting fight once Aldo got a few leg kicks in.

what I think is: Mcgregor wouldn't have the run Aldo had at FW. Aldo was a competent striker with amazing TDD, which makes him perfect to beat wrestlers. Mcgregor is an elite striker with just okay TDD, which makes him perfect to beat Aldo but not as good to beat wrestlers.

McGregor’s power is gone. He can’t even KO old men in bars anymore.

Zzzzzz

we using this tiredass joke in 2021 and onwards aswell?

I hope he KO’s Poirier in violent fashion so I don’t have to read this boring shit anymore

 

[Bilzerian]

Easy win for GOAT Aldo

 

[CrocopHKtotheballs]

Aldo doesnt have the reach to contend with conor.

 

[aroptedi]

The exact same.

Aldo doesnt have a chin anymore

 

[Crash Lance]

I could definitely imagine Conor McGregor going 2-0 against José Aldo.

LOL at Conor making 145.

 

[Bartosh]

McGregor dies trying to make weight

came here just to say this.

Probably the biggest "What if" fight that actually happened. Had Aldo not played right into Conor's bread and butter, the fight would have been incredibly interesting. Hell, I'd favor the Aldo that fought Max against Conor at 145.

Edit: We never know how well Conor does if he cuts back 145. We don't know if he can actually make that weight anymore.

Problem is that he still fought in a way that would get him KO’d by Conor, even after the fight. I’d be more interested in a younger Aldo that still threw kicks fighting Conor

McGregor probably won’t go back to 145 but it’s amazing how many people think a pro athlete can’t lose weight.

 

[NationWideNinja]

Sherdog doesnt seem to realize how hypothetical questions work.

I think Conor destroys him with ease, not in the first 30 seconds easy, but round 1/2 clear domination easy.

Conor beat holloway when holloway was a literal baby.

I agree with your point, but if there is one that should always be used literally... its literal. He was not a literal baby

Aldo fights at 135 now and McGregor fights unranked fighters at 170 and occasionally ranked fighters at 155. Those facts strongly point to the larger taller/longer man with less wear and tear winning the rematch, but it would never happen at 145.

I'm sure Aldo would avoid getting KTFO in the first minute, but he would still lose. Possibly get TKOed later in the fight.

Wow, the Conor fan boys are out today!

There are a couple different reasons why the UFC refused to give Aldo the instant rematch he deserved. One of them is they didn't want to risk Conor losing.

Aldo is an all-time great who got caught. It happens. If Cain and JDS never fought a 2nd and 3rd time, then you would've thought that JDS was gonna own him every single time. Same with Rockhold/Bisping and Hughes/St. Pierre. The idea that rematches can end differently is nothing new.

If Conor and Aldo fought again at 145lbs, I would expect that Aldo would employ a much more disciplined game plan that involved wearing Conor out in the championship rounds. He's done that before to numerous opponents, and Conor is proven to not fight very well in the championship rounds.

Conor isn't making 145 ever again so the fight wouldn't make it past the scale
