Sisti Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 This may sound rare in the world of internet geniuses, but I don't know the answer to this Do you think Aldo deserves to be up there with people like Jones/GSP/Silva? Let's look at his top 5 opponents 1. Chad Mendes (KO'd in the 1st) 2. Uriah Faber (Won by decision) 3. Kenny Florian (Won by decision) 4. Mike Brown (TKO in the 2nd) 5. Jonathan Brookins (TKO in the 3rd) Discuss. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team_spahr Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 its also the way he smashes guys. his incredible highlight reel. and yes, those are good guys he has beaten. Is he above Jones....no, probably not. But he's right up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumble170cHAMP Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 not even close. aldo either cheats or gasses in every fight since he has been in the ufc. the only reason he even finished mendes is because he held the cage about four times to keep from being slammed on his head. quite sad he even gets support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisti Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Would like to see him against an Edgar or Bendo-level fighter...someone that is very well-respected and has fought many of the greats Edgar-Aldo for me is the perfect fight...and I know Dana would like to see it happen because it would put so much more interest into featherweight If we don't get that, I still think one of the many awesome lightweights should drop down to featherweight so we could see how good Aldo is against established UFC stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaksame Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Nope,just like Silva he has avoided any wrestling.Faber is suppose to be able to wrestle but he never used any of it.Hominick is the one guy who took him down and pummeled him.That Hominick beat down on Aldo right there proved he is VERY beatable by anyone using take downs.Aldo tried to use the weight cut as an excuse,well ya no kidding when you try to cheat the weight class,it comes with the territory. It is imo really sad this so called Joe Silva can't make title fights or match ups that are great style fights.Just making fights because it is a fan favorite or fits the venue location works for the UFC not for the fans or the legitimacy of the champion. Example we know Aldo and Silva are weak to wrestling.Well imagine if these guys had to face 10 wrestlers each?Their records might only 5-5 for all we know.The UFC is signing a LOT of cans and it is helping these guys pad their records.

Shuberling Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Aldo is #2 P4P in the world. Mendes will win the title though when Aldo goes up. He faced a great striker in Cub Swanson! Problem is, he never gave Cub enough time to get anything off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
