Man, first off if he becomes undisputed champ, we will all tip our caps and wish him well. He's an exciting fighter. But seriously with this "you'll have to listen" schtick is old as hell. You are acting like Connor is the first loud mouth arrogant sob, he may be the most obnoxious but he's far from the innovator. Coleman, Sonnen are just a couple of greats who did the whole WWE gig long ago.

And he will run the 145 pound UFC division, like that earns a lot of respect. Look how you clowns treat Aldo. Not much to gain here IMO.

aldo has done it to himself.

he pulls out of too many fights.

he never finishes anyone.

and unfortunately for him he'll always be thought of as a guy that "might be" on steroids because hes guilty be association.

aldo should kiss conors feet regardless of what happens on december 12th, when he says its "the mcgregor division" it truly is.

lol @ comparing conor to coleman and sonnen... his talents are leaps and bounds above where either of those two ever were.

Not about talent. About showmanship.

And to even suggest that anyman kiss another mans feet disturbs me.

Meh, Chael Sonnen was a lifelong gatekeeper. 2 UFC tittle shots, 2 losses. Arguably his Sub win over Maurico Rua is a better win than any of Connors. (Except Shogun was washed up right)

But, just to be sure we are talking about the same Mark "The Hammer" Coleman is a "lol at his skills to connors?"

Mark Coleman career accomplishments:
UFC 10 tournament champion.
UFC 11 tournament champion.
First HW UFC champion.
Among countless other quality wins.

Connor McGregor career accomplishment:
6 career UFC wins, & interim title holder.

Stop insulting the sport and true fans, Connor has proven nothing yet. He has earned a title shot, he has earned the interim belt. Can we just stop it at that for now?

& if I took your quote of of context, I'm sorry.

But if we are talking "possible skills people possess" we should acknowledge Rousey "has the skills" to tear his arm right off. He would get rekt by Rousey's skill set. Am I doing it right?

Some people can spot the talent and greats early on, and then there's people like you... You let your hate for Conor's persona or your lack of MMA knowledge.... Or a combination of both.. Ruinin what you are seeing. You're going to need to watch conor destroy aldo before you give him his credit.

Then it'll be "oh I never said he didn't have a chance." Blah blah blah. Great thing is, it's only 9 days away now. You all will learn.

All three of the "feats" you listed disqualify him from any merit, the sport was full of bums back then, none of those champions would even be gate keepers if they were in their prime today.

Decisions are never a bad thing lol. I think he's had the same or more finishes then GSP in his title reign in the UFC. All his opponents can't be Dennis Sivir. He's fighting top tier talent as they are peaking more often then not. Your mind set becomes different when you become a champion especially these days.

As for pulling out of fights he's fought twice every year except for 2013 and 2015. Seems fine to me.

Aldo's got another year or two left in him and I think it's very possible for him to grind a decision. I think he will find his jab and straight right early on and the kicks will come later as well as some knee taps.

Dumbest post I've seen in a while.
If anything it was harder to be successful back in the early UFC days.
There wasn't Greg Jackson camps, personal chefs, and a single coach for every single aspect of your training.
Mark Coleman excelled because he was a bad motherfucker, the guys in the UFC today wouldn't have lasted back then.
Fighting 3 times in one night etc.


Skill-wise, obviously this generation is far ahead than the last, and 10 years from now it will double over again and so on.
