Conor McGregor looking to become the UFC's next two-division champion, calls out RDA...
"We will take (Jose) Aldo and we will take (Raphael) dos Anjos, without a problem. The featherweights must beg now. They must beg for pardon, beg for forgiveness. If that's the case, if they apologize and beg, I'll leave the division. I won't terrorize them anymore. They can have their division back. They can go back to being on the prelims and I'll go to the lightweight division." ~McGregor

yeah I saw this the other day

RDA would absolutely destroy Conor. It's all talk from Conor anyways though so it doesn't really matter...

conor is much longer, and fights much longer..

IMO aldo's thai style is going to be the problem. he fights too "short" and compact, and will get picked apart from the outside.

conor hits significantly harder than aldo does and aldo has a war battled chin thats begging to be finished.

add in that mcgregor is a southpaw and how well he hand fights and slips straight left hands down the pipe.. i think aldo is in serious trouble.

what his distance control is going to do is stop aldos leg kicks, any sort of clinch work, and the chance of a take down.

conor is a much much much more diverse and unpredictable striker on top of all of this.

i think it seriously is going to be a beat down... all trolling and shit talking aside.. im surprised this many people think aldo is gonna walk through him.

Aldo is gonna work those legs and not just the front leg, he has a nice way of stepping in and targeting the rear leg.

Also Connor is actually quite easy to hit... his more flashy style works vs mediocre strikers but will be exposed vs someone with good basics... like Aldo.

Gotta agree with this. We have seen Conor excel because the caliber of strikers he has faced is not at the elite level that Jose is at. And even despite the fact, Conor has still been hit by almost everybody he has fought. It will be an interesting test to see how well his chin holds up vs somebody who actually holds power in their hands and feet.

Conors straight left will be the difference.

I'm so excited for the fight though... I'm so curious to actually see what happens.
