Conor vs Aldo HYPE Thread
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.
Totally agree. I am hyped as fuck for Manny vs FMJ though. Conor McGregor just hasn't impressed me.
This hype train is just a bit much for me, gives me a very 'pro wrasslin' type vibe.
Damn near indistinguishable to me. And I don't like pro-wrestling.
I disagree with you guys
If I have no personal or emotional investment in a fight, I am simply not interested to watch. Lots of great fights I'm sure on the prelims but if I know anything about them it's just another fight. But if I really like or dislike a personality, or am following a tear etc suddenly whatever it is that makes me an MMA fan is activated. I don't like wrestling either but understand the appeal... its like Edge said about heroes and archetypes etc. There is something so fun about MMA + great CHARACTERS.
I agree however about 4 months being ridiculously long... whatever energy they make no will have surely settled down by fight week.
Then again, try to remember our anticipation for PRIDE shows was usually around 4 months long, and that was excruciatingly fun I thought. The only reason it seems long now is because of our app culture and that there is a UFC event basically every week.
I think Conor is fascinating, I truly don't know where he gets such confidence from. I think he BELIEVES it, he is on some kind of high. Watching him ride it out (successfully or not) is a bizarre thing to observe. Also how it affects someone like Aldo who is very different... I dunno. I find it so bizarre, its fascinating.
Other fight hypes don't interest me at all though, so I guess its a matter of personality. I like comic characters in my MMA, and imo Conor is an amazing one.
If he can maintain whatever trip he's on, imo he will be unstoppable for a good many years. Mike Tyson said at the top its almost ALL psychological. Both men knew what was gonna happen before it started.
Aldo is great, but Tyson is right imo - its an energy thing; if Aldo can't flip the switch in the ring, Conor will eat him.

They did an event at Eaton's Centre? wtf that's surprising to me. Seems a hard place to create any good security, you're right in the middle of chaos
Watch at 2:14, Conor touches Aldo's neck. Apparently this broke some agreements they had, Aldo gets pissed.
Conor is so in his head it's crazy lol. I can't decide if he's being an ass for it or if he's a fuckin legend :D
