It's almost a shame Aldo's TDD is so good, because his jiu-jitsu is something else. When people try and drag anything from his legs after he stuffs them and he just decides to take mount on a whim it's always dope.

Like when he hopped over Lamas' guard right into mount.

I think the only way it ever happens is if Aldo moves up to lightweight, which has been on the table at various points. Conor is never fighting at featherweight again for sure. It'll even be a long time before he fights in the UFC period again.

Conor definitely hits extremely hard but the Aldo KO was also perfect timing and hit the right place at the right time. He probably couldn't intentionally throw a better punch.

Yeah, half the force of that knockout punch came from Aldo himself flying forward with his chin ahead of everything else like a crazy person.

Aldo vs Conor 2 isn't happening because as soon as the Mayweather fight happens/falls through, he's either retiring on fat stacks or he's angling for another big money fight. He'll never defend a title.

I have only seen one Aldo fight that I can recall and unfortunately it was the Conor fight (well, the fight ruled but for different reasons), so I've never really seen what he's capable of. He's supposed to be really, really, really drat good, right?

My friend(and everybody else) you need to read this excellent piece about what it is like to fight Aldo !

He actually hit me with a jump knee, which — I didn’t feel it until later, but if you watch the fight he hit a jump knee that hit me right in the sternum. It knocked me down for a second then I stood right back up like nothing happened. But after my leg stopped hurting about four weeks after, then my sternum hurt for, like, almost two years. I’m not even sure what happened.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

This is the least surprising thing to have ever happened.

It really is insane that Maia has been in the UFC for fully 10 years and has racked up 19 wins in that time over quite a few really good opponents. All while having a limited S and C program for a good chunk of that, being in a weight class he was probably too small for and, apparently, having no idea how punches work. Maia owns.

Jon Jones is the most talented.

Aldo is the most aesthetically pleasing.

Anderson was the greatest.

GSP was the best.

Aldo has the best footwork, takedown defense (not percentage but the number of quality wrestlers he has embarrassed with takedown defense is impressive) and defense overall. He's also gotta be one of the best athletes in mma. Hopefully everyone makes weight this weekend.

Ya at this point I'm pretty comfortable sayimg that aldo has the best tdd in the history of mma. Like it's pretty silly how good it is.

This is true. His wrestling defence is loving insane. To watch Edgar toss around massive lightweights like Maynard and Bendo, then not even be able to get a grip on Aldo is just nuts. Also, his speed, power and composure are all nuts. I was convinced he'd beat McGregor, a good counterpuncher, not because of their skills, but just because Aldo is so hard to bait into making mistakes. I was badly wrong. Aldo lost his composure and rushed the one guy he absolutely could not rush.

Since we're recommending fights of his, watch his fights with Manny Gamburyan and a guy called Rolando Perez to see how much damage he can do in a very short amount of time.

Max doesn't have any huge, glaring weaknesses to his game, but Aldo really, really doesn't have any weaknesses. Except a full year of overtly racist trash talk couple with his bosses praying for him to lose with dollar signs dancing in their eyes.
