Get StartedHeard it was 1 punch on Aldo and smashed him like a bug on a windshield.
I guess the ref should have stopped the other fight sooner from I am hearing the Champ took Weidman took way more punches then he should have when he was on the ground. Any thoughts?
I don't know much about about the UFC, but wasn't Aldo a wrestler? And wasn't McGregor weak in wrestling? Why the fuck did Aldo try to box him to start the fight? I've seen Mcgregor's knockouts and I would think that'd be the last thing you should do.
One of the better posters on an MMA forum I frequent actually had some good input to a similar question as yours:
A lot has been made of his doing that against Conor and it being weird, well that's bullshit. I've seen him do it a million times. Some guys have even tried to counter like Conor did, but didn't land as clean or hard.
Here is Aldo going for his signature left hook, right low kick combo. Comes forward a little wild and Hominick even lands a left on him.
Here is another gif of him exploding forward against Lamas. Again a little wild. Lamas simply became defensive instead of looking to punch with him or counter.
Jose Aldo is amazing and one of the GOATs, but what he did against Conor wasn't especially strange. It was a tad strange to open up with, but he was always going to lunge in and Conor talked endlessly about landing the left hand when he did.
Which is exactly why Conor called that he was going to knock him out this exact way.
