Official Conor McGregor thread (part 3) *Updated Warning in 1st Post Re:Boxing match

Axwell

The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit so here's part 3.

The same rules as the last thread apply here. People seem to have strong opinions either way when it comes to McGregor and threads here tend to get a bit heated from time to time. Please keep it civil and discuss all things Conor in a mature way.

Any name-calling, trolling, baiting, or being a general ass-hat will earn you a ban from the thread and possibly the forum.
If you have an issue with a post, please use the report post function.

Any off topic posts will be deleted.
Any "Do you even train Bro?" or "I'm an mma fan longer than you" type posts are not permitted either. They only make you look like a fool and as a result, everyone hates you. Yes everyone.

**Upate with Mayweather vs McGregor announced**

Lads consider this the one and only warning - big fight with a lot of hype around it. It brings new fans to the forum as well as the regulars so try and get along. Any trolling or nonsense and people will find themselves on a break from the forum and that applies to everyone.

also cannot remember the last time I saw, aldo spark someone clean without them bouncing back up, his power is in his legs and his dynamism (ability to swarm on you). He was described as the greatest fighter for two rounds, I think that's accurate. His mystique slipped when he moved to UFC, I just never saw it. He's a good fighter who stylistically had just enough to beat a few satellite fighters constantly flying round. until he didn't!!! Boom! legend over and he was found out. as some said, he did look gun shy with frankie indeed and as McGregor often says, he's not the same fighter.

He'd be beaten by Diaz I think, in fact I doubt he'd ever take such a fight, he loves his comfort zone too much. didnt hear much of him tweeting after McGregor dismembered Eddie!!

Conor really did a job on poor Jose.

He will be having nightmares and screaming conors name on his deathbed.

Funny how people are so easily wound up by him.

Aldo would shred the **** out of Diaz lead leg until he couldn't stand any more, or at least debilitate him and keep moving and striking his way to a decision or a TKO.

A little too much is taken out of him getting KO'd by McGregor so fast, without a fight or anything else to go off, all you remember is the punch. Obviously. He is still a superb martial artist and his striking, his movement, TDD and his BJJ ensure he will be competitive against pretty much anybody he gets into the cage with, he isn't going to be going up against WW's ever.

155 is a more natural weight for him, but he doesn't struggle as much as Conor to make 145, I think he comes up to 155 to fight Conor and probably nobody else. He is angling for the money fight again, he knows it isn't going to happen at 145 more then likely, so in his mind, he defends his 145 belt, Conor returns and defends his 155, if both come through they can have a big money fight toward the end of next year.

Can't blame him for playing the game, especially when he was so roundly criticised for not playing the game all his career up to this point, when his stuff gets translated to English things get lost and he is clearly not as comfortable as the likes of McGregor at the smack talk part of the business but a toddler can work out what he is doing.

You really think Aldo would finish Diaz? A man who has finished anyone in 4 years would TKO a guy who is insanely hard to finish or Lightweights or Featherweights? Not likely.

Nate has the range to beat Aldo, probably by decision.

There is a big size difference between RDA and Aldo. RDA can barely make LW without passing out, is at least 2 inches taller and much thicker set.

diaz he hasnt a hope the size difference would be a joke...could maybe beat alvarez if he fights like he did against frankie..at 5'7'' with a 70'' reach hes just too small to be competitive at 155

Nate could easily land in volume at range that could finish Aldo or outstrike him I think. We don't really know how Aldo's chin would hold up at LW. It's actually an intriguing match up the more I think about it.

I will say this much for Aldo, his leg kicks could seriously damage McGregor, who as we saw showed some vulnerability to them vs Siver and a little against Alvarez, early on.

Vulnerability in what way? (Against Siver and Eddie).

Siver caught his standing leg and he slipped. I'd consider that to be pretty standard tbh. Catch anyones leg right and they slip.
There's a huge difference between that and destroy somebody legs to the point where they can't stand up imo

Forgetting the 13 sec ko for a moment, ask yourself how Aldo would fare against Diaz and Alvarez .....different weights perhaps but McGregor's not the first featherweight to move up a weight so why not Aldo......he's talking about beating a man who not only beat both but had both on their arses more times than they've ever been in 1 fight .....I really don't believe he'd fare favorably against either tbh .......so now back to that 13 second knockout :rolleyes:

As Gambred said he might have a chance against Diaz if he could land leg kicks but Diaz would overwhelm him with punches at range and utilize his huge reach advantage. Against Eddie it's tough to call because while he has shown great TDD at Featherweight it'd be much harder at Lightweight but if he could keep it standing he'd have a great shot too.

Gamebred

Aldo could kick Nates leg into oblivion for 5 rounds and keep moving imo to win.

Aldo looked gun shy against Edgar complete masterclass and great game planning in fairness that straight right hand was money Edgars team planned for his leg kicks and jabs from the first fight and got whooped (another Mark Henry failure).

Aldo is obviously a legend of MMA. But, I think McGregor wins a rematch because:

- McGregor is clearly lodged firmly in Aldo's mind. Big factor.

- McGregor is huge compared to Aldo. Another big factor.

- McGregor has become a significantly better fighter since their last fight. This is huge. McGregor grew through his wars with Diaz. During that time, Aldo ground out a decision win against Edgar. It was nothing spectacular. He is arguably in decline over the last few years, when compared to his vicious WEC form.

My 2c...

I thought his win against Edgar was very impressive, sure, not spectacular but nobody beats Edgar spectacularly. Instead he completely shut down Frankie, made him look ordinary and gave him his worst loss since 2008

"I knew that would happen," said Aldo, who lost to McGregor in 13 seconds at UFC 194. "To me, I never stopped being champion. I lost that fight because of an accident. I knew that I would win a rematch, that I would be champion again. It’s not my fault that he’s such a pu--y he was never the champion. I don’t see myself losing to anyone in this division or any other (division)."

He has a certain style of **** talking I'll give him that, I find it hilarious I can picture him steam coming from his ears hes so emotionally invested in Conor the build up to a rematch wouldnt be healthy for him never mind the fight.

You'd wonder does Jose forget that they fought and already turned down a rematch at 155?

he had his bell rung fairly severely a bit of memory loss would be normal!:D:D:D

Its the same event.

Gunnar Nelson and John Kavanagh can clearly be seen in Gunnar's walkout gear from 194. As far as I am aware the only other time they were on the same UFC card was in Dublin. Pre Reebok.

Conor obviously got warmed up in different shorts. Pretty simple.
