Ayee, The secret to being Champion is to never lossee!!
I watched as well, Wow.. before I say all this stuff I got to say, I wanna clarify Coner trains f-ing hard. He might look small and be a featherweight but holy crap he probably has less then 10% body fat, This dude is made of muscle and he ain't wobbling he's dancing. So lemme begin my rant... Because I've been keeping tabs on this dude for awhile.
If anyone has seen all the post-fight footage of Coner mouthing off to Aldo.. or better referring to it as breaking Aldo before the fight begun you'd know Coner used mind games to help him win the fight. It's all on youtube all this post fight stuff. He won the fight before it even started. The art of fighting without fighting It's all drums and tambourines demoralising your opponent into nothing, utilising fear to crush spirit. I'm not saying Aldo was afraid but it's all contributing factors. There was a lot of TV shows and interviews where the two fighters had to spend time around each other and Coner used every chance he got to antagonise Aldo, he would sit there and insult him, making jokes about Aldo while the audience laughed.. this is all in front of Aldo... While there in the same room... It takes a lot to rise above that when your a proud fighter. Im not a expert and those two ain't friends but Coner was bullying this dude for months and months before the fight even started... He once told Aldo to "Come and sit on my lap" One of his first fights in the UFC Aldo came to watch and Coner jumped the cage and ran over to Aldo after he won and that's when it all started.. The trash talking and demoralisation was gonna be in full force while Coner worked his way to the top. Coner had a lot of Irish support as well, his fans and country f-ing love him. That's just my opinion though../ theory..
Anywayyy. I like them both but I prefer Coner. I don't like the how he treated Aldo at all but it is what it is, like I said they ain't friends so it's hard to say if my opinionated theory is correct about Coners mind games. I've seen loads of Coner's fights and he is a damn decent fighter. It was a bit of a anti climax fight, months of waiting but like I said before, he got inside Aldos head, to the point he couldn't even focus and then K.O'd him.
He's straight outta that Guy Richie film called Snatch. He's the Bare-Knuckle Tatted up Gypsy Boxing Champ. Hey while were at it let us take a moment to remember Ronda, she was a good champ.
