5 Most Emotional Moments In UFC History

3. Conor McGregor Vs. Jose Aldo

After a worldwide campaign in which Conor had cussed Aldo from mic-up to mic-down in almost every corner of the globe, it was time for these boys to get down to business. We’re talking peak notoriety from the Irish one punch sniper, putting on the pregame performance that we‘d later come to understand was his greatest weapon of all.

McGregor was so deeply embedded in the mind of the great champion Jose Aldo, a breach which he set the charges for as soon as he won the interim featherweight belt and went over screaming at Jose like a mad man. He turned the screws ever more by nicking Aldo’s strap at press conferences and shrouding him with self doubt right up to the moment they stepped in the ring. It was all a trap.

The lesson here, kids, is do not let the bullies get on top of you. Sometimes you gotta get on top of the bullies and rear naked choke ‘em.
