Brazilians are fukking drama queens, breh. I was a huge fan of Aldo and really - I still am. I lost a ton of respect for him after Conor, though. All he did is bytch and complain about how it was a fluke and how Conor wouldn't give him a rematch. Meanwhile, this nikka wants to sit on the sidelines for a year, pull out 3 time for any minor injury, and then finally get the balls to step into the octagon when nobody cares about the fight anymore. Say what you will about Conor, but he steps up to the plate. Aldo had plenty of opportunities to make the same "history" as Mcgregor in his 10 year reign, but he never got the balls to actually go to 155. All he would do is sit and make excuses about clearing out his weightclass first. I've also never seen Aldo take a short notice fight...ever. All this shyt combined with the fact that he's probably the sorest loser I've ever seen made me see him in a whole new light. How are you going to laugh at a dude for losing a fight at 170 or in a pro boxing match when he took your belt in the most embarrassing fashion he possibly could have?

UFC refused to let Aldo move up....

Yeah it's well documented he wanted Pettis when he was champ and Dana nixed it. Much like how he nixed the thought of cody/MM or Woodley in any money fight. If you are going to make some kind of history you have to be fav like a Bj,GSP,Ronda or as we can see conor who didn't have to defend fw to fight at LW and didn't have to defend his LW to go to boxing. What a joke

Spot on. It's another gripe I have with Conor's achievements. It's not like other fighters before him had the same opportunities.

Anything can happen in MMA but on paper this should be handedly one sided

Yeah.... :patrice: idk what Rose can do but if she some how pulls this off :ohlawd: I am a fan of both these fighters. JJ a killer for real tho. Low key probably my second favorite fighter currently behind Jones if isn't suspended.

:russ: so if he manages to skate through some loophole again he's cool with you? Lol. Being a fan of his has become exhausting dude is basically a part timer who makes appearances once every 2 years now. And if he was always on gear (which it's looking like) we are talking about a certified fraud

I highly doubt any supplements they test will have Turinabol in them. He's done and he only has himself to blame for literally pissing away his legacy and his prime. I shouldn't even be as angry as I am about it but :pendejo:

The only thing Rose has going for her in this fight is that Joanna isn't a grappler. I just don't see her winning a kickboxing match against Joanna.
