McGregor 8/11 Aldo 11/10

[Vermilion]

My mistake, but i was more referring to the people i've heard talk about the fight on the various clips watched, but of course that's only their opinion.

Good to know anyway, was getting a bit worried for him.

Yeah the submissions are a cunt, in the fight where he fought the replacement for the Champ, a wrestler iirc, he was in a tight spot on the canavas, with the wrestler going for a submission with a hold he's known for, Conor saw the danger, and swiveled to get out of it, but the way he did it...i thought he actually risked breaking his own neck so tight was the grip and so violent was Conors attempt to release himself, but release himself he did, and with the work the wrestler had done on the ground making him tired as they got up, and the new found urgency in Conors work and accuracy, he was chinned shortly after.

McGregor has some spirit that's for sure.

McGregor has some spirit that's for sure.

and a head made of rock, should be a good fight.

Mcgregor is very very calm, and almost respectful.

He's been the similar way in the embeddeds too. I dont know if it's something to do with what happened to Rousey, or if he's trying to get in Aldos head. But its strange.

[Gibbo]

Tame conference, if anyone is thinking of going back at it don't really need to bother.

Zen Conor is out in play.

Prefer it that way, the **** talking is incredibly tiresome. Nice to see he's shutting up and set on doing his talking in the cage.

Zen Conor with a respectful head nod towards Aldo. This is weird, I think hes trying to confuse Jose, Jose would've built himself up for a mini-scrap here and it's all nice nice.

Think the Weigh-ins may see more action because Dana wants to sell them PPVs.

Also worth noting that Conor's stance, although very bizarre is orthodox, maybe nothing, but maybe him trying to get in Jose's head.

Maybe ive just been so excited about this fight ive began to over analyze everything.

I've been over analysing everything about this fight

I thought McGregor's stance was to make Aldo think he was going to fight with his leading leg forward, which plays right into Aldo's hands with his kicks - could it be a ploy?

Can't wait for this. Sod Joshua vs Whyte, this is the fight of the weekend.

He's been training a lot with Ida Portal a world renowned movement expert ..expect even more unusual movement from him then usual

Mcgreggor seems to be in the best shape of his career, I didn't give him any chance until recently, still not sure what way it will go. Reckon Conor will have to win in the first round.

just watched half an hour of creepy blokes and drunken and drugged up dubliners asking HH questions.

[Gibbo]

I am so intrigued to see what Conor turns up here.

If he goes Zen Conor mind games again, or if hyped up pissing Jose off Conor turns up, I think Dana will have had a promote the fight whisper in his ear so don't be surprised to see some talk.
