Joe Rogan says Conor McGregor practiced the knockout punch before fighting Jose Aldo
At UFC 194, on December 12, 2015, in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Conor McGregor reached his sporting destiny, finishing Jose Aldo in brutal fashion, to claim the 145-pound throne.
However, while most respected the nature of the KO, some claimed it was a fluke.
However, it appears, in reality, that it was anything but, with Joe Rogan discussing footage taken in the moments before the bout took place.
On JRE 150, the UFC commentator said: “There’s video of Conor pretending to be Aldo, then him showing what he’s going to do and counter. He does the exact move in the dressing room, knowing that that’s going to be the fight.”

The MMA aficionado then brought the clip up on screen and talked his guests through exactly what McGregor did.
Rogan explained: “That’s Conor pretending to be Aldo, and this is him, boom. He’s literally saying how it’s going to go down. It’s literally what he did, he practiced it. He predicted it was happening.
“He knew Aldo’s movements, he had it timed down. He’s much more light on the feet and when Aldo moved in, he times it perfectly. That left hand is a missile.”
