UFC 189 Embedded Series: McGregor-2 Aldo-0

On Episode 2 of UFC 189 World Championship Tour Embedded, headliners Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor arrive in Las Vegas on the second stop of their whirlwind trip. Featherweight champion Aldo stokes his competitive fires in his room by playing ping pong and pool. “The Notorious” McGregor takes a more serious approach, acclimating with room service, a nap and a hard workout before the media duties begin. on.ufc.com/1Hw8O4z

The wait is over ! Please keep posting these until it's fight time. - All fans

Dana and the UFC simply CAN'T WAIT for Aldo to lose the belt. he doesn't speak English, he's always injured, he never even makes an attempt to sell a fight (other than shoving Mendes for no reason). this is why they gave Mendes the title shot after beating nobody, gave Frankie the shot after losing his belt @ LW, losing the rematch, and dropping down in weight. Conor jumped over everyone because we all know he's going to SMASH Aldo. Aldo was dominant because he was bigger than everyone, and now he's fighting someone bigger and faster than he is. Scarface is done.

It is becoming increasingly clear to me that Jose Aldo speaks some sort of foreign language.

Episode 1 went viral so they made episode 2 right away. Keep it up I love it.

McGregor is in Aldo's head. McGregor is in McGregor's head. It's a win win for Conor. Indeed.

embedded videos= awesome

Waited all day for this..Embedded videos are brilliant

The UFC should tank Conor, tank him right now

I love how Aldo says he believes in showing respect to all athletes, that's whats up. I love that Honorable Warrior Respect.

0:33, he missed that counter left though. Must of blinked.

I believe Aldo when he says his eyesight is near perfect. His instinctive reactions in the pocket are incredible. Conor's management of distance along with his power will be the difference in this fight.

Before we ate dinner today I had my kids tank Conor McGregor. The skinny little Brazilians didn't want to but I made them.

So Connor knew that Jose was playing Ping Pong? So the camera men snitch the Notorious huh? Not fair UFC, not fair...

Legends are here in 2023 ❤

I love these UFC vlogs

Freaking love these videos! Please keep em coming! Can't wait for this fight.

Who ever came up with the idea off doing the Embedded episodes for the world tour deserves a big bonus.

"I show respect no matter who it is" *immediately gives Conor the finger when he walks on stage. 😂😂😂😂 shut up, Jose.

Can't wait! Aldo has been great. But it's time for a man like McG to bring the devision to a new level of attention.

I like this episode because it shows you that Aldo believes in himself just as much as Conor does only he doesn't feel the need to shout it at every press conference. Good luck to the both of em. Going to be one hell of a fight.

"i'am here at 12 o'clock, and he's playing ping pong." i'm dead haahhahaha

If Conor was playing pool and Aldo was training he would have said something like "Jozay is scared, he's down there training brushing up and whatever skills he has while Im up here relaxed playing pool with some friends"

Best thing going in this clip was Aldo's Muay Thai coach wearing a "Suicidal Tendencies" t-shirt haha

make these vids fucking longer

That's pretty damn cool of conor to be training his friend even though he doesn't stand much to gain from training with such an easy opponent... that's a true friend

The king has arrived.

Crazy how confident both men are.

these vlogs are so great!!!

So damn entertaining, these episodes.

Aldo came out looking better in this vlog. He was redeemed. Talked a better game and was more confident. He was like a deer in headlights the first one. The way the first ep was edited, it might as well been a 10-8 for mcgregor. Mcgregor is just eating and eating. He looks like he is putting on some weight. Is he really Staying Ready? Vlog scorecard so far: 19-18 for Mcgregor.

If McGregor wasn't so big for the weight class I wouldn't have any doubts picking Aldo. But seeing how much taller he is, I have no idea what is going to happen. No outcome will surprise me.

I love both fighters they are both amazing. I feel sorry for aldo but I know he will get back stronger and McGregor slowly revolutionizing ufc

Make longer videos.

2:49 Jose predicted the damn fight

sleepy connor mcgreggor is the first time ive see him just be real, seems like a good dude. nice change from his usual antics.

And Newww ufc champion!!!!!

Mcgregor is the reason for this vlog which shows all it takes is personality to be a top star in the fighting business who of which is fucking awesome!

So stoked for this fight@$!%!

Aldo eres mi ídolo!,se que no me conoces pero aquí tienes a una gran fan que te ah seguido desde tu comienzo con la UFC... Vas a salir Campeón de NUEVO!😁😃😘😍

That laugh at 3:10.

Who's watching this in 2020? McGregor absolutely destroyed Aldo in mind games and then just finished the job in the Octagon, what a journey it has been to witness

My dream is to live in a place like this, oh my god, the scenery is beautiful...

5:55 is so perfect.

Aldo is acting... Strange...

It seems like every conor fan has a degree in psychology. "oh Aldo isn't smiling. He must be scared! "Aldo is walking left right, when he should be walking right, left" Somethings up! "Aldo is playing pool" He's trying to distract himself from the fight"! Aldo didn't make eye contact.....blah blah blah haha

2:00 Tank you so much lol

Must admit, they both seem cool out of the octagon.

AND STILL!!!!!!!!!!

R.I.P Conor

I want McGregor to win just because of the fact that a Conor W will be a KO and an Aldo win will be a decision.

5:01? So giving McGregor the middle finger is a sign of respect?

2:35 🤣. Good ol' Mystic McTapper

king is king and joker never will be king!! Go aldo

Praise the notorious

It's going to feel so great when Conor realizes what he's gotten himself into as soon as the first round begins. You'll see it in his eyes, all confidence lost. I'm going to enjoy it.

4:32 aldo just said what i thought about him after the fight

This seems as if it's just an embedded for the tour. Are they going to do one when the actual fight week comes up?

Top video

That ending was powerful

Jose good at everything. haha

Hard not to like Aldo...he's a cool dude. I've always liked him, but of course I'm a McGoat fan...gonna be a good one.

1:22 looks really good, "suite" hah.... get it...

Can't Wait!

he's playing ping pong ,mystic Mac Strikes Again

0:50 he went full Irish on us

You can feel the pressure Aldo is under.

And the new..

Connor being champ makes sense 💰💷💰💷

I want to hear everybody in Ireland saying "God save the King Aldo" !!

Can we clear something up.....his name is spelled *"Conor"* not "Connor" get it right. P.S. It seems like there are gonna be plenty more of these embeddeds because look at how much space they left at the end of the video for filler links to previous episodes. (6:04)

From the staredown, you can tell that Jose has already lost the mental game. McGregor will pick him apart, but I'm rooting for Jose, regardless. #ConorBless

Something about McGregor... he's got it.

Aldo should Thank Conor, thank him every morning he awakes and Thank him when he Defeats him for giving him the Honour of Sharing an Octagon with the Special One..... For Mr McGregor we ALL give Thanks.....

Wouldn't mind some of that Las Vegas life!!

These are awesome

That room tho

Aldo by destruction.... Connor will fight Chad next, then Lamas and even Frankie and will lose agaisnt all of them then we will never hear from that loud irish again... now let the critics began.......

Massive big-up for the Dutch football shirt Aldo's training partner is wearing!

What song was that at 5:13 ???

Aldo was way more heated in Brazil. Here he's completely calm and relaxed and looks like he found his 'place'. I'd be lying if I said I didn't buy his "I was born to win. No one can beat me." Honestly no idea who wins this fight.

Love the behind the scenes footage. I was surprised that McGregor's girlfriend wasn't around. She was in all of the last Embeddeds.

They key to the fight will be that standing exchange... Both fighters have very interesting weapons in their arsenal. Being Conor a southpaw and having that karate'ish stance might require Aldo to use inner kicks and if Conor is prepared for Aldo's lightning speed kicks... he might initially sacrifice his closer leg in exchange for a counter punch. We know that each posses power in those limbs... so i believe that the one who has studied his opponent the best, will get that edge to persuade their opponent to change strategy throughout the fight. Maybe against another opponent, Aldo would have had a better time on the ground, but Conor is pretty big for this weight class (I assume, he is a strong lad), and his frame is pretty big... we all saw Jones vs. Cormier.... Cormier had a tough time taking him down. It is an interesting fight... and both of them are quality fighters... I wouldn't be surprised by any result. Can't wait for July to come!!!

Conor is Ready like a scienthologie man , is ready ready ready

Mcgreggor’s approach alone showed you why he was gonna win.

5:58 I only remember the words of cheal sonnean against anderson silva! n the result all we know........

4:53 why does that man wear a t shirt from my country

McGregor has been mind fucked by Aldo; he knows he's playing table tennis. Round 2: 10-9 Jose

I'm a little concerned about aldo going into this fight if what conor said was true about aldo's fight patterns. Aldo might need to change up some of his habits to prevent conor from predicting his movements. I originally gave aldo the edge purely off the technical aspects of striking, but if an opponent comes in with the edge of evolving and adapting like conor, he will definitely increase his odds of taking the win. one thing we haven't seen in a while is how aldo's stand up is at this point against another stand up artist. his past few fights have been against high level wrestlers in the division. aldo has been known to fight dramatically different when fighting against wrestlers, so i'm curious if how his stand up will be against someone who will stand in front of him now. weidman is a good example of a fighter who adapts. He comes in with the appropriate skills for every fighter he faces. He's always bringing something new to the table and constantly adapting. (He's like water). machida comes in with the same fight patterns, weidman knew it and took advantage of it. - weidman adapted the necessary skills for machida's evasiveness - weidman adapted the necessary skills for silva's head movement - overeem adapted the necessary skills for nelsons power - dos anjos adapted the necessary skills to nullify the range pettis needed to be creative with his kicks. - silva adapted the necessary skills to deal with nick diaz' volume - how conor will adapt? we will see! aldo, take conor more seriously. He's one of the smartest fighters you're about to face.

2:09 Artem looked at that chicken breast and scrambled eggs the same way Robocop would look at a jar of baby food.

McGregor is taking that belt to Ireland.

People say Conor is all talk, remember they said Cassius Clay was all talk till he beat Sonny Liston. Aldo is Conor's Sonny Liston! ( And for the young people...that's Muhammad Ali, so now you know. )

This is more entertaining than the fight lol

Nothing wrong with ping pong good for hand eye coordination, difference is jose not a bit worried about mcgregor. Mcgregor is still learning and refreshing himself where as jose is more confident and well rounded fighter and knows that stuff already.

Connor is the real deal everyone hates him now but when he finishes aldo everyone is gona act like they were rooting for Connor

This fight aint going 5 rouns. One way or another this fight is going to end within 3 rounds. In his last 10 fights since 2009 Jose Aldo has only finished 4 people... He has been to the R5 decision with Lamas, Mendes, Edgar, Florian, Hominick and Faber. His Faber fight was absolutely brutal and he still couldn't finish even though he had chopped the legs out of Uriah all night.

Conor McGregor has to improve a lot more if he is plans to dethrone Aldo....Siver wouldn't have made it out of that first round with Aldo....I hope Conor can pull this off though

"Whoever said, that its tough at the top was talking absolute shit" - Conor quote of the day

These video's seem a bit premature with the fight still almost 4 months away.
