Every punch in the first round felt like a KO was coming! Inane! This one much like Lawler vs Rory took a lot out of both of them. So many wars. Once Aldo got to Connor and Robbie got to Woodley they had just been in the trenches for so long. The pace, hand speed and power in this fight is ridiculous!

[@too_sturdy]

Right But i think Aldo was juiced up here. Before USADA days. He was also young. Like 26-27 here. Prime age i truly believe. On speed and durability. Last thing to go is power. Now Jose fights at 135. Which is crazy! And Conor still the only one to ko him. Max tko'd him. This fight was epic tho. Miss Chad. Always liked him and rooted for him.

[@BuggyChokeTheWorld]

@@too_sturdy if jose was doing steroids which i believe he wasnt hes made a crazy comeback (post USADA) hes not old in terms of age of fighters but the competition hes fought over the years is already worthy of being one of the goats of mma and to see him move down to 135 is crazy but i feel like its a better weightclass for him now (guys at 145 just seem to be getting bigger and stronger)

[@jsilva7005]

in my opinion had Mendes had a full camp he beats McGregor. Mendes won both rounds against Mcregor until he got caught. Mendes even said afterwards that he went for the guillotine because he knew he couldn’t go all 5 rounds. Also he’s the only person to knock Volkanovski down. He won both rounds in that fight as well until getting finished. I know he lost both fights but what my point is, is that he’s probably the best to never have won a belt.

[@anton-th8yl]

Nah, max was just a way superior fighter compared to Aldo.. Connor had nothing to do with the way Aldo has been put to shame by max and yan.. They're just the better fighters. Prime aldo would not beat max, volk, or even yan..

Though he was shitty to Aldo during the pre fight conferences, he was actually hella humble and kind to Aldo after the 13 second loss. "I am always cocky in preparation and confident in preparation yet humble in victory OR defeat"

[@CallumHofler]

I know he took a lot of damage throughout this contest, but this is the scariest version of Aldo we've ever seen imo. It felt like he combined early Aldo with championship-calibre Aldo; throwing everything into every punch and leg kick, and varying up his combinations to go for finishes like WEC Aldo used to, and at times, we also see the calculated Aldo who showcased gorgeous head movement, a wicked jab, blindingly fast counters, and an ability to slow the pace down just enough to force his opponent to fight at his clip. So the fact that Mendes still gave him heaps of trouble is just a testament to 2014 Mendes' skills (and juiciness).

[@sirleo5103]

*This is the second time I'm editing this comment because there are some incredibly stupid people on here and I'm shocked by the fact that I even need to explain this to people. So, again, here is what I meant and I'm going to try and explain it as simply as possible for the little kids commenting in here who clearly have no understanding of fighting or the world in general. Here it goes: Aldo began to throw a combination right before the bell rang. As he was executing his combination, one or two punches (I don't remember which nor do I care enough to go back and watch the thing again) landed after the bell. The momentum of the combination drove him forward. He was clearly in the moment and couldn't perceive and react like the people sitting at home watching. Also, there could have been several other factors that could have contributed to the late punches. Factors such as maybe he didn't hear the bell ring? That is perfectly plausible as sometimes it is so defeaning in the arena that people may not even hear the bell. He also could have been so focused on the fight that he simply didn't expect the bell to ring or even paid attention to what was going on around him. Aldo and Mendes are fighting. They are focused on each other. They're not necessarily aware of what is going on around them. They are focused only on each other. I'm sure I'm going to have to edit this again at some time but I hope this clears at least some things for people reading this.

[@alessandroscuderi7300]

@@decmadine Mendes was 12-1 in his 1st 13 WEC/UFC fights before this one and the only loss being to Aldo. He was ranked top 3 for like 7 years. Cerrone has probably never been ranked top 3 in his career. Guys like Swanson, Lamas, Koch were top 5 when Mendes fought them and guys like Elkins and Guida were ranked as well.

[@jsilva7005]

in my opinion had Mendes had a full camp he beats McGregor. Mendes won both rounds against Mcregor until he got caught. Mendes even said afterwards that he went for the guillotine because he knew he couldn’t go all 5 rounds. Also he’s the only person to knock Volkanovski down. He won both rounds in that fight as well until getting finished. I know he lost both fights but what my point is, is that he’s probably the best to never have won a belt.

Jesus is Fake McGregor was a machine yes, but Aldos career has been far more impressive. Aldo was undefeated for 10 years, mcgregor has lost more than him and never defended a belt. So far, Aldo has a far more impressive record than Connor. You’re a blind fanboy. I love McGregor as a fighter but you gotta respect Aldo....Connor got a lucky punch in that fight and got in aldos head. Doesn’t mean Aldo is bad at all, he’s one of the greatest

Because he’s old and weathered now. He doesn’t have the mobility and explosiveness that he used to have here. Hence why he’s more of a stationary boxer/striker now. He’s worked on his head movement to compensate the lesser mobility, but with him getting older you can only do so much

Well the two losses to Max Holloway didn't help either. But at least Aldo was constantly able to re-invent himself after a loss and comeback stronger. Now with his recent retirement, most fans will acknowledge that Aldo was not merely a highlight for Conor but a legend of the sport and one of the greatest to ever do it. Aldo is a future Hall of Famer and we're looking forward to his induction.

[@paparoach007]

"left in our Collective MMA memory" speak for yourself mate, do you mean for the short-sighted and ignorant brains out there? Aldo fights like his life is on the line every time and you know you're in for a good time when he fights. Pre-Conor era, Aldo was a force to respect he won the Featherweight Division twice in 2010 and 2011 if I recall correctly, something which nobody had previously done before. I like Conor but Aldo deserves recognition for his success, likewise with Conor. I really dislike when people shit on Aldo for the 13 second fight with Conor, I reckon Aldo would of flattened Conor if the fight continued but we'll never know now unfortunately.
