UFC 194| Aldo Vs. McGregor | Weidman Vs. Rockhold

I'm picking Conor in a big upset win. I don't care about the Vegas odds. It will be a huge upset if Conor defeats Aldo, one of the greatest P4P champions of all time. This will be the end of an era, the changing of the guard. Or it will be one more title defense for Aldo.

 

you have described yourself. except you cannot fight.

 

Are You Saying it's NOT Still "The Machida Era"???...





REED~

 

And nor is Rousey a "once in an.... ever athlete."

 

McGregor tries way too hard. He used to be funny but now it seems all manufactured. Probably due to immaturity and once he settled on with all the celebrity, he will be fine.

Still, he's on a real roll right now and I think he will beat Aldo.

 

this. He's similar to Sonnen, in the sense that he was funny at the beginning, but then turned into a caricature of himself that only appealed to kids and immature losers.

 

Lol, I know why he does it, hence the manufactured comment, it's not like it's some kind of revolutionary tactics to sell a fight that only marketing guru such as you understand. Still, it doesn't mean I have to like it

 

As i said, it hypes up kids and immature persons. No wonder you like it. That these contrived tough guy act a la Roussey and mcgregor works at creating hype, only shows the sad intellectual state of the average man

 

They're is also the factor that Connor is the UFC version of Naseem Hamed whereby bravado, public-interest, PPV sales, revenue and prize-money doesn't equate to being 'great' at all.

 

Probably not...but if gets the less-than-casual watcher of UFC / MMA taking interest then it's good for sport overall.

 

No. I've been following MMA for more than the last 10 years. It,s not like it's the first time I post in this forum section. The reason I want to see the fight is because Mcgregor proved he's for real by destroying Mendes. His lame contrived shtick has nothing to do with it. It's all fine and dandy if you get excited by these WWE promos, but I ain't. .

 

Consider who you're talking to dude. There is nothing average or immature about McGregor's pointed verbosity. There is a definitive skill and art to what McGregor says and how quickly he comes up with it.

The idiot is the person that puts McGregor's effective war of words in the same bucket with Chael's verbal diarrhea. Sonnen had funny moments but was typically full of shit.

To me, Sonnen was WWE while McGregor uses his mouth like Ali did. There's a huge difference.

 

Yeah, he's actually 10x worse than Hamed ever was in boxing. ::

 

Difference is, someone like Fury does it to Wlad (sparingly, I might add) and its funny. You can see what he's trying to do.

McGregor's clearly got a chip on his shoulder (like all Irish have, I might add) and goes about things with a deeply sinister fashion.
And to be honest, after the first 2 minutes that video got boring.

For the record, I don't have any affiliation to Brazlians: I don't care who wins.
Other than it gets as close as Jules Winfield's: "if you like burgers give 'em a try sometime. I can't usually get 'em myself because my girlfriend's a vegetarian which pretty much makes me a vegetarian"

Yeah?

 

:::laugh11: Jesus, Aldo's received shit loads of stick from McGregor! You'd think all the insults and taunting would drain him in some sort of way. McGregor really is nuts, but I love his style :: Some classic quotes there from the Irishman.

 

Haha! I bet Aldo will find it difficult, though.

 

i like mcgregor's style of fighting, but he's obviously got some holes in his game. he's not at the level of jon jones or demtrius johnson where their defense also plays a huge factor. for someone who talks a whole lot of shit, he's not as good as he says he is imo.

i'm still leaning towards him beating aldo, but if he ever moves up, i can see him losing to guys like pettis, dos anjos, and cerrone. if benson was still competing at light weight, i'd also see him giving a ton of trouble with footwork and clinch work.
