Striking coach: McGregor will embarass Aldo
Owen Roddy: “I think Aldo is going to come out very aggressive, Conor will make him miss and then he’s going to punish him for that with his devastating striking.”
Conor McGregor is one of the featherweight divisions top strikers and his striking coach recently told VICE that he believes Conor will embarrass Aldo when they fight:
I think Conor is going to shock everybody again, said Roddy. Honestly, I think he’s going to make this look easy. I really think Conor is going to embarrass Aldo. I think Aldo is going to come out very aggressive, Conor will make him miss and then he’s going to punish him for that with his devastating striking.
Aldo has to close that distance and Conor is a lot bigger than him, he’s a lot longer. In order for Aldo to land, he’s going to have move forward. He has to get on the inside to land them shots and that’s when he’s going to get clipped. Conor is going to be very elusive and he’ll crack him as he’s trying to come in.
