jose is also known to fade after round 2 and he never finishes so you know if conor doesn't KO him it's going to deep waters.. his only chance is to get an early sub like conor's past losses. i think conor has evolved and matured to a point where he wont make those little mistakes to give up a submission. like i said grace under pressure.. and we all know conor has carried huge weight on his shoulders and even over-delivered in the past.


If aldo doesn't submit conor in round 2 or 3. I don't think he can win.

I feel similar to you, that in rounds 4-5 aldo would be to tired for a submission and conor has looked to have amazing cardio thus far.

I really just don't see how aldo wins the fight. What scenario makes sense were aldo wins? How?

and you say this why? conor hasn't gone into championship rounds, so you have no clue how he will hold up at that point. Aldo may tired but still fights strong.
This is aldos first opponent in many that isn't a wrestler, it's his chance to strictly strike without worrying about being taken down, that makes a huge difference there.

Aldo is the better rounded fighter who has been in 5 round fights, conor's only way to win is knockout I feel. To disagree is absurd. Aldo has been fighting top competition for how long now? And winning dominantly to think connor is THAT much better than anyone aldo has faced is stupid, aldo has more chances to win than mcgregor does.

Uhhhh bcuz conor has never shown even the slightest bit of conditioning problem.

got humped for 2 rounds by arguable the best wrestler in MMA (mendes obvi) and popped up like it was absolutely nothing.

conors biggest advantage is his mind, he's so loose and relaxed it allows his conditioning to be top notch.

aldo finishes nobody, conor doesnt have to worry about being submitted or KO'd because aldo cant get a finish to save his life.. that's what makes the real difference..

one fighter can end the fight at any moment and one has questionable cardio and can only win by decision.

i think aldos only UFC finishes are that mendes knee, which even though it seemed sort of "flukey" was devastating, and the korean zombie... but didnt zombie like hurt his foot or something and then aldo jumped on him? i forget exactly what happened

If Conor is smart he should actually be training w/ his buddy gunnar nelson and working on his BJJ because lets be real Aldo watched that Mendes fight and saw he can exploit takedowns

Conor reach allows him to throw nasty elbows from the bottom but... he needs more vs Aldo this guy is 25-1 for a reason

and you know this how? You really have to get mcgregor's jizz out of your eyes, it's making you blind to the truth. Its great to have faith but to not realize aldo is superior on the ground is stupid. So if aldo does decide to take the fight there mcgregors in trouble. Even standing to fully say aldo stand's no chance is absurd.

Did I say Aldo's ground game isn't superior? Do you know how to read, I said his ego won't let him.

Add in, aldo is a stand up fighter, period. He's not going to completely change who he is and while Aldo's jiu jitsu is sick as fuck he doesn't finish people and he's not Mendes when it comes to wrestling, not even close. He won't be able to hold / control conor on the ground like mendes did, but then again no one at 145 will be able to do what mendes did, besides mendes himself.

Let's not act like Aldo is some amazing ground fighter, he's never submitted or ground and pound finished anyone in the UFC. He's got what? 1 or 2 submission victories in his whole career. Sure he does good in jiu jitsu competitions but it hasn't translated to his MMA game.

btw jose is literally world class on the ground. he has jiu jitsu wins over cobrinha for god's sake....

he just doesn't take the fight to the ground because he prefers to destroy people on the feet.



edit: and also before you start running your mouth like I know you will, I am not saying that jose is going to run through conor or anything like that. just stating that it's silly if you don't think his ground game is legit.
