<p>Conor McGregor takes every opportunity to get a rise of out Jose Aldo and his team in the media, but one person not afraid to engage in the verbal warfare is Aldo's coach, Andre Pedenerias:</p>
"The only fighter who I remember provoking Aldo was Manvel Gamburyan, who spent the fight week trying to intimidate him (in the defunct WEC, in 2010),” Pederneiras recalled. “Aldo will get in the Octagon, show everything that we trained and leave as a winner.”
Pederneiras also believes McGregor was less aggressive in their first face-off for UFC 194, during a recent meeting at the Ultimate Fighter house in Las Vegas, and he spoke of a possible McGregor letdown following his defeat of Chad Mendes.
“What happens to McGregor matters very little,” Pederneiras said. “If he was expecting a Cinderella dream when he had the belt, maybe he noticed this is the real world, and a beating will happen on the day the fights happens. That’s it.”
submit1337 - yea ok nerd weren't you supposed to retire?
That didn't take long.
I cannot wait for this fight to take place. I feel like both guys are saving a secret weapon for on another. You could say I have high expectations for this one.
Man, Aldo is probably my favorite fighter, as far as skills go. When this fight was first announced for 189, I was giving Conor 0 chance of winning. Now, months later, and for a few possible reasons, I'd probably pick Conor to win.

List the reasons
Well, I don't really want to, but I mentioned them so I will. I don't know for sure, but Conor getting in his head is a possibility. As I'm sure you know, when you let it get personal, a lot of the times your desire to not lose to this certain opponent, will make you really hesitant. Which is never good, especially against a dangerous opponent.
I started to kind of look at things a little different since reading that report of the random test by the NSAC. I started hearing things about Brazilian corruption, from people that I trust. I would never accuse somebody that hasn't been caught, but I just have a little feeling that if Aldo makes it to the fight, he may look a little different in there.
Plus, besides all of that, Conor proved that he was better than I originally thought. I mean, not really enough that if it weren't for the reasons I've already listed, I would still give him a shot. But enough that with the possible circumstances, he could maybe do it.

As well as, his size, his power, and his tiger tattoo.

great post +1
I am on the same boat, albiet a speedboat.
I think Conor pays rent inside Aldo's head.
I think Aldo has/is using.
I think Conors skills are waaaay better than I first assumed. He was tested by mendes and passed with flying colors. He's got a hell of a chin, confidence does not waver, adversity does not faze.
Stars are aligned for Conor to breakthrough as the next superstar in our sport.
LOL at Aldo being afraid of Conor's scripted fake shit talking. Dude grew up in extreme poverty in the favelas. You think he gives a shit about some white dude's WWE stick?

I don't think anyone is thinking he is afraid of it. More so that he is really pissed off by it (which he obviously is) and that it will affect him negatively.
Pretty much this. Conor is going to be asking himself for years if the beating he took was really worth the money because he's in the deep water with the shark.
Aldos a hard read. Not sure how he's handling it because of his calm demeanor for the most part. Conor may be getting too full of his own fluff and starting to believe Aldo is a walk in the park can be a very painful mistake
Aldo cleaned out a division and beat everyone put in front of him and yet Conor who has beaten one top 5 guy is going to destroy him according to allot of you?
A lot of people use Mendes as a gauge to how Conor can compete with Aldo. We all know that's never too accurate. But, if we were to use Mendes as a gauge, I'd say that since Aldo KOd him in the 1st and then got the UD the second time, I would think that most would give Aldo the credit as to who did a better job on Mendes. Now, I don't agree with that logic but if we used it that's how I'd see it
I seriously doubt Aldo is effected by anything Conor's done.
Aldo demolished Faber in Sacremento. He followed that by crushing Manny (who as mentioned was one of the last guys to really talk shit to Aldo). He beat Hominick in front of 55,000 of his countrymen. After a horrible weight cut.
