AHEAD OF THEIR featherweight title unification bout at UFC 194 in Las Vegas a week from Saturday, Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor took questions from the media tonight.
You can listen back to the conference call — which also featured middleweight champion Chris Weidman and challenger Luke Rockhold — in full below.
I want Conor to win just as Much as any Irish fan or bandwagon hopper for that matter.. I’ve watched all his fights and took a keen interest in all the build up and interviews before fights.. But haven watched many of his interviews regarding the fight with aldo it just seems different he either seems more focused or there’s an element of fear and self doubt there! We all know he’s mind games and the fact he always wants to get an edge over his opponents psychologically before fights.. This time around its seems to me he’s more and more nervous using that tactic to a larger degree (which is a Form of fear in itself) it’s going to take a lot to win aldo, ain’t None of this 1st ko bull$hite that’s for sure! Aldo is an animal and if Conor can overcome it there’s no stopping him.. He’ll be feared by everyone! The only thing is its aldo he has to overcome…
You’ll be thumbed down to death for even suggesting Aldo has a 0.001% of a chance.
This is a competitive fight but all things being equal, Aldo should win a close fight on points.
I’d say it’s more the fact he went around the world promoting the fight last time and the time to talk was over and now it’s time to keep the mouth quiet and time to go out and show everybody what we all know, that he is top level and he’s revolutionising his division and MMA in this country.
I hope you’re right Ciaran
