Connor has holes in his style. He uses aggression to bully nervous opponents. Use angles to find openings but plants his feet when he starts to unload which makes him a sucker for the TD. Aldo on the other hand is an excellent counter striker with solid ground game. Connor almost like Jon Jones apart from the complete fighter thing.
Aldo is quicker, more well rounded, double the experience, proven chin and beaten all comers.

But I see what you did there.
That's way too much muff IMO I have to waders on
Jimmy Recard - That's way too much muff IMO I have to waders onI see what you TRIED to do there A for effort F for execution. Have my VU for enthusiasm broski.
john joe -Actually you can box both ways Joe Louis planted his feet to throw COMBOS. You can definitely throw effective punches while being light on your feet given they don't have the same force behind them but planting your feet in a low square stance while facing a Thai boxer is not a smart move do you know how to Muay ThaiMikes Pierceing Scream - Connor has holes in his style.

you're supposed to plant your feet when you're throwing punches; do you know how to box?
john joe -You don't always have to there are plenty of examples of boxers fighting both way. It's just that one of the styles is suited to stopping TD. Rather than only moving forward with striking in mind. That's one of the differences between A.S chute boxe and post chute boxe as well as let's say Bisping and Leben. So I think the question is do you know how to MMA.Mikes Pierceing Scream - Connor has holes in his style. He uses aggression to bully nervous opponents.

john joe - girls, girls, please. I know how to box, muay thai, kickbox, glorybox, pridefight, ufc and pyjamaroll.Connor has a tko win from a checked kick and broke max holloways shin(or foot i cant recall) with a check.
I understand the different requirements of each sport. The fact remains, you cannot punch effectively while on one foot or bouncing around midair.
I dont mean set your feet as in literally stood still like your feet are nailed to the floor, only that you 'stick and move', you don't bounce around trying to hit strikes at the same time as moving. Which is exactly what beginners tend to do, actually.
Re conor vs aldo, leg kicks will be the big thing. I am sure if we on a forum have picked up on that , that a coach as intelligent as Jon Kavanagh may also have spotted it. Conor did take a couple leg kicks off Siver but i almost feel like he took them on purpose, to feel what they were like, and then felt comfortable ignoring them. I dont see him doing that vs Aldo
He's also a southpaw, the lasttime aldo threw lowkicks a t a southpaw it was tkz and he broke his foot. I dont see leg kicks being as big a deal as people think unless mcgregor just doesnt try and defend them at all.
Where did you say unloading?? You said you have to plant your feet to throw punches which is false, so you want examples: Ray Leonard, BJ Penn, Nick Diaz, Anderson Silva, Duane Ludwig all throw punches while moving I can keep going if you like.
john joe - girls, girls, please. I know how to box, muay thai, kickbox, glorybox, pridefight, ufc and pyjamaroll.Did I say jump about mid air? No I said movement is important. his style is about aggressively coming forward without consideration of the TD. By the way a lot beginners also only know how to throw punches coming forward. Plenty of fighters can punch whilst moving and there are a fair few that do it very well. Don't come in all high on Mcgregor juice and throw red herrings into a conversation. Most people on here know you can fight both ways question is which way will work. You talk the talk but I'm not sure you really do know how to UFC. I've seen plenty of people get frustrated by a moving counter striker. Timing negates speed and not only does Aldo have better timing he is the quicker fighter.

That way you have complete freedom to generate as much force as possible.
Also if you get countered whilst mid air the impact is less because you're not fixed (planted) to the ground.
It's also one of the reason flying knees are so effective.
Mikes Pierceing Scream - Where you at ProteinOverdrive. Don't be scared homie.Haha, or I'm here, still confident Conor stops Aldo with relative ease.
I'll TTT my thread when that happens.
ProteinOverdrive -That confidence is very Mcgregorian "hespetch". But would you like to put your SN on it.Mikes Pierceing Scream - Where you at ProteinOverdrive. Don't be scared homie.Haha, or I'm here, still confident Conor stops Aldo with relative ease.

McGregor is taller, has more range, is more creative striking, has a better boxing background and unlike most of Aldo's opponents, won't be afraid of him.
People act like McGregor is finished if he hits the ground. He's a brown belt in BJJ under one of Europe's most respected BJJ black belts.
People are in for a shock when McGregor stops Aldo.
JOB - McGregor is taller, has more range, is more creative striking, has a better boxing background and unlike most of Aldo's opponents, won't be afraid of him.Derp statement is derp statement. Not that Conor can beat Aldo of course that's possible but the reasons of which you give.

Speed and timing beat range, to say Aldo's not a creative striker is an oversight and to say his NOT the first fighter to not be afraid of Aldo doesn't count for much.
As for his ground game I can only go by what I've seen of him in actual fights. That is him being submitted twice with relative ease by average grapplers. As well as displaying an average TDD against Siver.
Oh yeah he might be a brown belt under one of Europe's best grapplers but Jose has a black under one of Brazils best instructors/grapplers.
I wouldn't be shocked though, it's the fight game we should expect anything.
Mcgregor is constantly improving.He has 5 months or so to prepare for this fight and will no doubt improve in that time from the Siver fight.We may have seen the best of Aldo as he has over 30 fights and been around a long time which is more than taxing on the body.This could be Conor's time.
I like Mcgregor.He has great fashion sense and wears a suit well.He actually follows British GQ on twitter and has nailed down that Beckham look which is not easy to do.This is a young man that appears to have it.Needs to ease up on the trash talk though as its cringe worthy at times and he doesn't need to do it.When he talks normally anyone can see he's an intelligent switched on guy.

It's not that he just has range, it's that he uses it flawlessly. He knows exactly where to be at all times to hit his opponent and not be hit. He was submitted early in his career when he was barely a blue belt in BJJ, if even that. He has a come a long way since then. You might aswell compare it to Aldo being submitted by Azevado if you think it has any relevance whatsoever today.
Also, I never said Aldo isn't a creative striker. Save your strawman arguments. I said McGregor is a more creative striker, and he is. Aldo is an ABC muay thai striker. A very good one at that, but not as creative.
