this thread is for when McGregor beats Aldo
 

''he won't!''

yea, but you said that about Chad

i'll up this in due time

The heart says yes.


The brain says no.

@oats

I wish the mafia were involved

This can go either way
I dont fucking know

I got Aldo, Weidman, Jacare.

ahhh man i'm the same, heart says McGregor, not thinking with the head

them leg kicks tho...

anyway, i'm buzzing for it

wish i went Vegas for it

fuck it

5am and the whole country will still come together

Normally when a fighter acts like McGregor it enss up bad for them. Like they are insecure deep down

Tyson/Lewis
Judah/kosta
Penn/gsp
More recently... Rouser/holm

But this feels different. Like McGregor is the real deal

First ufc fight I've looked forward to since silva/Weidman II

I got stitches by ko

I'm pulling for the Irish, if anyone can he can...

That weidman/rochold though... Shiiiit

Get this rep

i'd like to see mcgregor win but i'd also like to see aldo win

and i also think aldo will win.

so thats that.

U hear stitches diss track? Roflz

I don't know what to say

It wasnt that bad tho. Lol

top 3 billings are all pick ems, but I got Aldo, Rockhold and Romero. Would not be surprised if I go 0/3 in those though, really competitive fights. really stoked for this card, plus my boy Holloway should pick up a good win.

Not familiar w/ Aldo, how good is he @Orc

http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/11/2...conor-mcgregor

hear it from the people he beat

What. Are u being sarcastic to fuck with Orc?


Aldo, the ONLY ufc featherweight champ ever. Was wec champ before that defending his title against the same caliber guys. Ufc absorbed wec.

Aldo a beast.

I'll look him up now. And @Useless no sarcasm bro, dead serious lol

here's a good side-by-side of the Aldo-McGregor fight ;)

I liked this ^^, very detailed and insightful. Aldo sounds like he has the edge from reading this imo. I like ppl that can use angles and are defensive minded since i myself use to box.

Should be a good fight. Is that this Saturday?

Aldo is #1 PFP

Also a good fight tonight between Edgar/Mendes

Yea I'm lookin forward to Edgar vs. Mendes. Frankie is super under rated, and has been on the losing end of a lot of questionable split decisions. But, he won his lw title by questionable split decision so can't complain really.

I like mendes style. And tbh I think he might've best McGregor with a proper training camp.

@quaker oats u see Paige van zant get beat down last night?


Was pretty bad, I like thug rose tho so its aite.


Wiedman vs. Rockhold isn't getting the attention it deserves imo. That's gonna be a good fight, and I can't pick a winner.

i picked mcgregor against mendes.

if i were to pick here, i'd lean towards aldo (but that is mostly sentiment).

if mcgregor wins, which he can because he's on some other shit, he'll have deserved it. same goes for aldo, and that's that.

i'm just tryna see two savages on the top of their game privilege me as a spectator. fuck anything else, really.

edit - weidman, romero, gunny, holloway

what a fucking card. ridiculous.

@Useless yeah I figured Rose would win, but that was a royal beatdown. PVZ is tough, and she honestly assessed her technical shortcomings in the press conference, so I'm still bullish on her long-term. I'd like to see Rose get 1-2 more solid wins before contending though, Joanna would piece her up right now.

I'm as excited, if not more, for Weidman-Rockhold. Romero-Souza should also be fireworks, Edgar-Mendes could end up the best fight of the weekend. Such a good time to be an MMA fan haha

I'm really curious to see if McGregor is on to something training-wise, focusing on counterintuitive movements and being fluid/unpredictable etc. He'll either look like a genius or an idiot come fight time.

but word to that last sentiment. when the UFC does it right, they kill it. these matchups are all worthy of being 5 rounders on other cards (maybe not Maia-Nelson or Holloway-Stephens, but you get it).

the stuff with ido portal really interests me, actually. but even before that, his focus on yoga and atypical methods of training were there - and it shows in the cage. i don't have faith in nova uniao as the most intelligent camp looking at their history (barao largely colours this perception, but pederneiras has said some weird shit) but i've faith in aldo's intelligence as a fighter.

they could headline fight pass cards or something. but yea, fantastic matchups throughout.

the type of sparring McGregor did with his team on TUF was pretty dope imo. he just might be on the cutting edge of martial arts training.

agreed with Nova Uniao, they still train like it's mid-90s Vale Tudo. but yeah, Aldo is a smart, technically gifted fighter, and an underrated athlete. fuck I can't wait. you see the weigh-ins?

just a snippet of aldo apeing mcgregor, which i found hilarious. both guys look intense.

I usually don't watch or invest much into weigh-in stuff, but that was a pretty great moment. Weidman-Rockhold were talking shit to each other the whole time, too.

i'll probably watch the replay at some point. i do sometimes watch them on big cards/if i'm betting - they can be surprisingly telling. i think weidman has rockhold, not even sure why.

he's eerily calm and composed, Rockhold seems more anxious. could probably read into that several different ways. I'm still leaning Rockhold, but I'm eager to see how they deal with each other's pressure.

aldo boutta shatter that man's legs

I put dough on Aldo and Weidman. Only confident on Aldo.

Barboza and Ferguson is nice so far

Ryan Hall god tier BJJ

ugh that was hard to watch. love me some good grappling, but I will always hate backflops and guard pulls. 3 fights till Hall gets cut

Talk about early stoppage wtf

Watch it again.

He was out cold. Edgar's fists woke him back up. If it wasn't stopped, it was over anyway.

Not Hall's fault that Lobov was too scared to do.. Literally anything. Lol.

He stayed active. 170 ground strikes don't lie.
