"My court is full now. I am the king, Chad is the prince, and there is a joker now... He's a guy who just talks. He hasn't fought anyone as tough as us. So to get here right now and talk, I've heard that a lot. Chael Sonnen did that a lot in his weight class, and now he's lost, so he can talk as much as he wants."
-Jose Aldo takes some verbal shots at Conor McGregor at the post-fight press conference after his win over Chad Mendes at UFC 179 (via MMAFighting.com).
Penick's Analysis: Well, he's got a point. Talking gets you only so far before you have to make sure you're backing it up in the cage. Sonnen did that for quite some time, but came up short when it counted. Will McGregor follow suit? Or will he prove to be everything he says he is? A win over Dennis Siver won't really tell us anything we don't already know about McGregor, but if he winds up in a title fight and wins, that takes him to a level Sonnen could never reach.
