1st AD posted:Frankie is second best to Aldo. Aldo pretty much outclasses him everywhere, except maybe he moves fewer miles in a fight than Frankie does. 1) Frankie may have better offensive wrestling, who knows since Aldo has never had to really use it. 2) Chad was legit the #2 guy in the division until Conor and Frankie proved he wasn't. He may still be the 3rd best guy in the weightclass. e;f Did I just fall for the Chad was always bad? Remember when Renan finally lost and people were like seeeee he was never the legit champ, all the while forgetting that for several years nobody could beat him. Nobody is invincible. One day sooner than you think there will be 10 featherweights who can beat Aldo, it doesn't mean Aldo wasn't the best at his time.

Holloway is going to beat Aldo because MMA is a sport where weird poo poo happens constantly and it will

Naw, Chad wasn't bad, but he was flawed and his 2nd run for the title includes a ton of dud fights including against Cody McKenzie and Darren Elkins (due to injury replacements, so not his fault, but still). His 2nd Aldo fight was great, but you could see where he was trying really hard to implement Ludwig's movement and gameplan and could only maintain it for about 2 minutes at the start of every round, then he'd be back to being planted on his lead leg and trading shots in close.

Chad definitely has flaws, but I still think he was legit the second best FW until Frankie dropped down. These days I'd pick Holloway over him as well. And yeah I'd expect number two to have 2 min of success (or less) per round against number one. Hell Urijah Faber is an all-time great lighter weight fighter and he has like Clay Guida level stand up.

The only thing Aldo has in common with BJ Penn is they both beat frankie edgar twice.

Marching Powder posted:i still heavily rate edgar p4p. he's a bantamweight. a guy who wouldn't have to fight half as hard to get to 135 than aldo would to get to 145. what he's accomplished is pretty much staggering. Aldo's like 5'7 he's not a gigantic featherweight.

tesilential posted:lol what There's this guy, Conor. He used to be a UFC fighter. He fought Aldo. Maybe you heard about him/it Wise Learned Man posted:To be fair, didn't Conor tear his ACL in the first round of that one? This never made sense to me, even though I know conor was out for a long time afterwards and had surgery. He injured his knee, so he wrestled, which is really hard on the knees even when they're not injured. Also, isn't tearing a ligament basically a crippling amount of pain? Bundt Cake posted:I dont really know what this means but aldo isnt as good as anderson or gsp. hes more like bj penn Aldo's knees still work. DeimosRising posted:drat Holloway with a height 2" above his wingspan, t rex lookin motherfucker It's sort of like Gus, where, since he's so tall, people assume he has a giant reach.

I heard somewhere that Max Holloway did not yet have a striking coach when he fought McGregor, which is pretty nuts.

He really is. We've got some potentially incredible fights coming up. I'm not the biggest Aldo fan in the world but I don't for a second let that influence my opinion of him as really really really loving good with an easy entry into the GOAT argument. gently caress Khabib for loving up his weight cut, I was really looking forward to the Ferguson fight. I think there would have been more impetus on Conor to come back and defend a title if there was absolutely no question who he would be fighting next as well.

I think there'd be more impetus still if his bosses had the sightest bit of spine when it came to him. He's been bypassing the same two dudes during his entire time at lightweight.

Aldo is compact and muscular, like corned beef. There's a reason he's almost killed himself every other fight to make 145.
