"It has definitely been my most difficult period in life so far," Gustafsson told Swedish newspaper Expressen. "I was completely serious about quitting MMA. I don't care really about the title, it was that it happened in front of my home crowd. My cousins were in place. It just took it too hard. I didn't have the will to continue. I was really close to quitting. But I have received so much love from fans, loved ones and my team."
"I had to bite the sour apple and now I have a new fight that made me very motivated," said Gustafsson. "If I had not wanted to do this anymore, I would have stopped. But I want to continue. There is no doubt about it. No one is forcing me. I'm not doing this for money, but to be the best in the world."

I dont think ppl appreciate how good aldo really is.
He's possibly the most complete fighter in the world right now.
#2 p4p in the world, fool hasn't lost in 10 YEARS! 18 STRAIGHT!!!!!
if he was 6'4 I believe he would beat jones.
Aldo is a TRUE complete mixed martial artist, every aspect of his game is just as good as the other, no weak links. + He still in his 20's!
Another moot point alot of ppl talk about when discussing aldo....KNOCKOUTS/FINISHES
Dude when your the Champion for as long as Aldo has been, you ALWAYS fight the divisions best, EVERY TIME (10 years and counting).
Its rare that championship fights end early based purely off the fact both fighters are EXTREMELY good (unless the contender was just weak)...neither are prone to make amatuer mistakes and both are on top of their game.
getting dominated 5 rounds >>> getting dominated 3 rounds>>>>sub >>>>> ko >>>>>split decision .
Aldo just goes out there and dominates guys exactly how Jones does, shuts them completely down for 25 minutes. Some guys win a round or 2, but thats about it man.
All aldo has been doing for 10 years is DEFENDING
he doesnt have to go out and knock peoples heads off, thats the CONTENDERS job, all aldo has to do is successfully defend whatever the contender throws at him, and thus far hes done it fairly easy and in impressive fashion.
Im telling you, if you watch mma bet the house on aldo....
We arent even talking about aldo's BJJ/wresting! If he decides too he will take conor to the ground and drown him.
plus we haven't even seen Conor go 5 rounds in the UFC yet! Cmon man,conor is not a smart bet at all.
Im not trying to convince people aldo is better/will win, just posting facts.
Aldo is CLEARLY the better fighter.

They don't tink like I tink.
I'd love to rematch the world tour with he true Aldo translations. You can just tell they're not expressing the amount of vitriol and venom that he's been saying in Portuguese.
The fight is going to be insane after touching Aldo's neck and taking the belt. Hopefully, Aldo keeps his cool in the first two rounds.

Can't wait for the main event tomorrow.
But that Aldo vs Conor bout is gonna be epic. The UFC promoting the hell out of it and it's a ways out still. Conor as much as I think he's a clown he's a hell of a promotor.. dudes gonna get murdered though. Them Aldo leg kicks gonna have Conor crawling by the end of the night. Now I do think Conor does have a chance, but he hasn't fought anyone really elite yet.. so we haven't really seen him tested. Aldo has been through all the top contenders in the division.

Well then it's a good fight for Connor. This will definitely test his skills.
I heard on the MMA Report that Connor possibly tweaked his knee training with Rory McDonald.
Hopefully, injuries don't derail that card. No disrespect to Lawler/McDonald.

There just might be real tears shed in this thread if Aldo loses
It's pointless to say "if such and such was a certain height he'd...."
I think the MMA world appreciates the greatness of Aldo. Who doesn't appreciate his greatness?

Pena on this weigh inDAMB
I DVRd it last night, was FFding to the weigh ins for the last 2 fights, saw her strip down and.....hol' up.
A bit worried about Masvidal. Never seen a fighter hit the stage in his sauna suit. But according to Cormier/Kenny, being 1/2 pound or so over was likely the result of a slight miscalculation.
Was on the road for 10 straight days and got home at 12:30am. Kind of loving my lazy afternoon with a live UFC card right now.

I like the team vs. team concept.
On that note, pulling for W's for Dustin+Jorge today.

Jorge showing me exactly what I thought of him. Pretty good fighter (great boxer) but I don't see greatness written on him in any sense, especially in the best division in the UFC
