Jose Aldo Father is dead - Lost respect for Conor

Seismic said:
The haters are hoping ANYTHING sticks. They're still discussing Conor and the model hoping it will bring Conor down. Heck even Aldo hasn't jumped on it. Desperate people do desperate things.

You right Aldo don't care about sh!t like that he's just focused on kicking that ass, Conor's the one wrapped on and into public perception.
 
Fuck i don't know Who to root for. I'll Just enjoy the fight and celebrate the champ. Fan of both guys, both are awesome fighters

Truth, it's embarrassing, but even moreso that folks took the bait. Still cannot get my head around why so many people on this site are so ready to dislike people they've never met.

Maybe for the same reasons people like or admire those they've never met before, c'mon man it works both ways...

As usual, thought provoking stuff from the dude with the awesome Sagat AV.

I'll acknowledge there are plenty of people who one does not need to meet to know whether they are a good person or a bad person. That's a fact. But I'd hope people would also acknowledge that often professional fighters are playing a role which will benefit them in their careers - in fact I'd say Conor is one of the best examples of that - and that he cannot be known all that well just from his edited, scripted moments on screen.

Someone like Jones, who is involved in a hit and run and returns to grab his cash 'n' stash obviously lacks some sort of moral imperative and we may not need to meet him in order to determine he is likely a bit of a prick. But often things just aren't that simple. You (and I) may find Conor's character offputting, but I am willing to bet that he doesn't behave like an obnoxious wanker at all times in his private life.

Agreed. With all his cockiness and brashness, I still believe that Connor is a good guy who just knows how to play the game. Whereas I didnt buy Jones' holier-than-thou attitude at all, not even back in the day when he was fighting guys like Brandon Vera. I dont know what it is, but Jon Jones just oozes this narcissistic and self-absorbed vibe.
 
Conor haters again being insane. Conor must win.
 
oh my fuck, shut up lmao.

you act like this is some bobby southworth/leben type shit, like conor would know.

I agree. I think at minimum we need to restrict our opinions within the scope of the information available. Even if we take it one step further and make assumptions. Even if I think Conor is not using a public persona (and I agree a good portion of it anyway most likely is an act) than the information I have may justify me at least forming an opinion on whether he is arrogant or disrespectful to others when it comes to opponents in his profession. That is all I really know. I don't know how he feels about giving to the needy or how he treats the elderly or if he respects his parents or whether he would help someone in trouble.

I know enough (maybe) to decide if the is the type of guy I might want to go have a beer with and shoot some pool. I have no idea about the man's heart or moral worth. I can judge particular comments within their respective context and form some opinions about his personality but that's really it. I agree people take a small piece of information about someone and turn it into their biography. I know i would hate to have my life summed up by my worst choices or by a few isolated examples or based on a comment i may have made. The hypocritical judging is less of a problem than the blind judging. But they are both problems. I know you particular views on faith so I will add there is a reason only God can judge the heart. And thanks for the kind words earlier.

Peace

Explained this in a subsequent post. It's pretty clear that a lot of what these guys say on camera or do on camera isn't what they are really like.

Anytime. I know you only by your posts and AV, and I know I'd have a beer and shoot pool with you. Take care mate.
 
RIP to Aldo Sr. and Jose is gonna kick the living Shi* out of this contender.
 
Haha, Christ. The amount of sand in the vaginas of sherdog is reaching peak levels.
 
Like most of his fans, Conor "Josh Mario John" McGregor is just a pampered white privileged kid and that is whence his appeal comes. Anyways, in a way, I'm glad he got a title shot so we'll be able to watch Aldo send this swaggerjacking scum into oblivion.
 
Aldo proclaimed himself "King of Dublin"...Sigtrygg Silkbeard was the king of Dubln and is now dead...lost hespect for Aldo, brah...so disrespectful.
 
Conor's a dickhead, but he didn't mean disrespect to Aldo's dad when he said that.

Even Aldo laughed it off.

That being said Aldo is going to fuck Conor up worse than he's fucked anyone up.
