Ah yes the typical "leg kick" response, ignoring that Aldo will have to completely change his gameplan from any other fight he's fought to successfully destroy the southpaw's lead leg whom also happens to be the most illusive and best striker Aldo has ever seen. Aldo has never fought a striker remotely comparable to Conor. Conor is the one guy in that division who has more power than him, is faster than him, more accurate than him, and has a reach advantage on him.
Conor will maul Aldo. I don't see this fight even being close. Still think the biggest threat to him in that division is a prepared Mendes.
I wouldn't say faster, aldos kicks and hands are faster, conors movement is faster. Aldo is going to tear that lead leg up because conor always leaves it out. His stance is horrible for someone like aldo who's the leg kick king. And it won't take many to slow conor down a bunch, so conor better hope to god he knocks him out before aldo lands those few.
Now I am not saying conor can't knock aldo out, he sure can. But if this fight goes the distance it's going to aldo who is the ALL around better mixed martial artist. And if aldo lands some of his classic legs kicks nice and early the fight is going to be totally different than anyone things, the leg kicks will do more long run damage than conors body spinning back kicks... Total lack of movement makes you take more overall punishment than just having less in the gas tank.
