[I'm a prophet] Aldo destroys McGregor

[StopDucking]

I've long noticed I was able to predict the outcome of the fights 80% of the time (when I decide to make a prediction). I've thus decided to become a prophet and make gamblers who believe in me awfully rich.

On a serious note, I'm going to post more prediction threads from now on and keep track of all of them to see if I can become the anti-Nam Phan. The only official prediction I've made so far was for dos Santos vs. Velasquez 2: http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f2/cain-going-kill-junior-2336813/.

I also made this thread prior to Weidman vs. Silva 2 but it was a troll thread: http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f2/proof-anderson-winning-tomorrow-2636285/.


These were my picks for the last 15 UFC events:
- Maia vs. LaFlare (March 21, 2015): didn't care, no prediction
- Pettis vs. dos Anjos (March 14, 2015): dos Anjos
- Rousey vs. Zingano (February 28, 2015): Rousey
- Bigfoot vs. Mir (February 22, 2015): Bigfoot
- Henderson vs. Thatch (February 14, 2015): freakshow, no prediction
- Silva vs. Diaz (January 31, 2015): Silva
- Gustafsson vs. Johnson (January 24, 2015): toss-up, no prediction
- McGregor vs. Siver (January 18, 2015): McGregor
- Jones vs. Cormier (January 3, 2015): I hate Jones so no prediction
- Machida vs. Dollaway (December 20, 2014): Machida
- dos Santos vs. Miocic (December 13, 2014): dos Santos
- Esparza vs. Namajunas (December 12, 2014): who vs. who?
- Hendricks vs. Lawler II (December 6, 2014): toss-up, no prediction
- Edgar vs. Swanson (November 22, 2014): Edgar
- Werdum vs. Hunt (November 15, 2014): toss-up, no prediction


This is why I think McGregor doesn't stand much of a chance:
1) His stance is very vulnerable to leg kicks
2) The way he attacks leaves him wide open for counters
3) Aldo is faster and more technical

Unless some crazy injuries occur during his training camp, Aldo should win this fight with ease.


Also, here are my picks for April 2015:
- Mendes vs. Lamas (April 4): Mendes
- Gonzaga vs. Cro Cop 2 (April 11): pointless fight, no prediction
- Machida vs. Rockhold (April 19): Rockhold
- Johnson vs. Horiguchi (April 26): I don't watch Flyweight fights.

Betting slip?

I also made this thread prior to Weidman vs. Silva 2 but it was a troll thread

Reported for trolling.

 

[robjenkins2]

Go back and watch the Mendes rematch, Jose got tagged hard all night and the low kicks weren't a factor. No one can tell me that Chad is a better striker than Conor.

 

[76Knockout]

You pick the favorite a lot, not as impressive.

 

[WinZip]

You are neither outsidehammer nor Thrawn33, therefore you are the prophet of exactly nothing.

With analysis like this I can't see how you'd ever lose!

 

[Goonerview]

The only prediction that you made that was impressive was RDA > Pettis

The rest of your predictions, I.e. Rousey > Zingano is nothing to sing and dance about

TS picked massive favorites over a wide set of times and avoided all hard picks = prophet. Smh

lol....all completely obvious choices and the ones that weren't you got wrong or didn't even predict. A good amount of people guessed Dos Anjos would Guida himself to the belt, but he did way more then that.

Really pointless, your not a prophet. Safe to say a bulk of Connor's camp will be leg kick defence/counters and tdd. Aldo's been hit hard before so its not like hes untouchable defensive beast.

Fight depends on Connor's answer to the leg kicks and td's, so no point in even speculating further.

This.

 

[Ash Ketchum]

Every time there was a hard pick (except for rda) you chose not to pick. Picking rousey to beat zingano doesn't make you a prophet, it just means you aren't fully retarded

 

[dirtymick]

done with sherdog till next year too many of the same thread haha

 

[Drake]

You picked all the favorites except for Dos Anjos. OMG STUNNING...

Then no predictions for "freakshows" & toss ups...

TDD? I've seen Aldo go for about one takedown in his ufc career

 

[Drew314]

Oh yeah, TS. Well I got all of those right, plus picked every single fight on each of those cards correct, as well.

Of course, I have only made one "official" claim on sherdog, but trust me on this one...


This fight will be very interesting. If I was forced to pick, I would pick McGregor, because I honestly think Aldo is growing complacent, and he has looked vulnerable in latter rounds. I love how people use the fights that Conor has had to discredit his chances. It is the old familiar song. People did the EXACT same thing when Weidman fought Silva the first time. We shall see.....

 

[Vae Victus]

I used to agree until this annoying world tour they did, Conor just looks so much bigger than Aldo.

I've got it 50/50 right now.
