I read a great piece yesterday http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/11/2...regor#comments consisting of fighter's thoughts before, during and after fighting Aldo. Next I watched one Aldo's highlight videos and was simply amazed again by him. Sitting in related videos was Mcgregor's insult compilation so I figured I'd watch it again.

It's like some crazy knight found a sleeping dragon and every chance he gets he tries to p*ss it off. It's gold really. Either the knight finally awakens the dragon and it destroys him or the crazy knight does the unthinkable and slays it. In the end the fans win.
Great post, my man.

I can't wait to see how the fight plays out. I believe in Conor. I also believe Aldo is a true savage. I think people sleep on Aldo's BJJ game. He's got legit "sick jitz" as they say on TUF.
