Dopexot Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 You guys can't deny it. His only legit opponents are Mike Brown, Kenny Florian and Urijah Faber, and people act like he is the GOAT of the featherweights? I'm not saying that he's not good, I'm just saying he didn't prove himself really that much. Although I think he has a big chance of winning against Frankie.

Stevo_Junior_AldoFTW Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Aldo is the FW GOAT LOL! but I would like to see him at 155 as he wouldn't have to cut weight and that could make him better.

Jose has faced the best and beat the best 1. Hominick is a can, are you mad? 2. Manny is a can, are you mad? 3. Cub Swanson wasn't half the fighter he is today when he fought Aldo. 4. Mendes and Kenny are his most credible wins by far. 5. He has not beaten the best of the best at 145, not even close. He may though, Aldo is a monster just keeping it real.

Sisti Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 There's no one good available at FW. The only legit guys he's faced are mendes, faber, and florian. He did take them all out convincingly so I give him his props Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juzie Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I wouldn't go as far to say he is overrated but I do think Frankie Edgar is easily the best fighter he has fought and with the current betting lines im definitely going to put some money on Edgar.

No because the guys he fought in the wec are still legit opponents. That's like saying if Jon Jones beat Dan Henderson in DREAM that he is overrated because it happened in DREAM But since the merger they have acquired more legitimately fw's as well as gave the smaller lw's the option to move down. It just means that Jose has more legit opponents for him to fight, koch kz poirier frankie swanson(again) hoiki lamas and more! Jose has already made a name for himself as on of the p4p greats. If he can hold his title and dominant like he has then when he finishes his career he very well could be seen as the GOAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can hold his title and dominant like he has then when he finishes his career he very well could be seen as the GOAT I was basing that off the fact that you said the UFC is better at getting top talent, but I think I misunderstood your point. Aldo wont be a GOAT of anything. He's beat inferior FWs for the most part and now that the division is heating up he's going to jump to LW after he loses to Frankie. His trainer has already detailed his problems with cutting weight. Hell even if he beat Frank I could see him vacating the title because LW is a more comfortable division for him.
