Would love to see Holloway knock him out
Hollow victory either way
Jose will break a nail a week before the fight and have to pull out.
Not a hope Pa, fights in Rio so that means a home camp for Aldo and dodgy Brazilian PED testing….he’ll be like a beast for the fight I bet. He has never been the most prolific fighter but don’t think he’s ever pulled don’t of home fights.
Out
€10 in Paddy power that the fight doesn’t happen
Once again the ufc bending over backwards for cry baby Aldo,having the fight in Brazil is a huge advantage for him
Now this is one quality fight.. I fancy a 5 round belter with Holloway to win in unanimous points decision
Go on then lads, fight for yer fake belt. We all know who the real Champion is.
I know where you’re coming from. But let’s be honest. Conor had no intention of defending that belt. The ufcs hands were kinda tied.
Karolina v Gadelha apparently could be on the card too
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Nunes Shevchenko on this card too
Hope holloway wins can’t stand crybaby aldo
Aldo is a great fighter easy win for him.
Ur a decent MMA fighter yourself Gearoid. It’s a pity u picked up that injury
Some cheek wearing a belt he didnt win on his shoulder.Hope Holloway slaps the head of him.
