I think it works wonders vs. Aldo. Aldo was mentally a mess come fight night. It helped also I feel in the Alvarez fight, Alvarez fought like a complete idiot. Aside from that I don't think it played too much of a factor.
He took those shots from Rumble before the Gus fight and before the Jones knock out. He's also 38 years old. I don't want to see him lose either but Volkan punches like a truck.
I still think Jones is the more naturally gifted fighter, but Ngannou is close. They are gifted in different ways however. Jones has almost NO punching power.
He's taken a lot of shots and had a lot of fights. I don't think he's too far out of his prime but a little bit. The weight cut has always been difficult and his game is not evolving. I think he can afford to take a year off, move up in weight class and move on from there.
Great point TS. In fact, the very fact that Max was in the UFC long before Conor even at his young age just proves what a talent he is and how much he's grown over the years.
