Aldo vs Cub is great precisely because it is exactly what it is.

Edgar was the p4p goat And Aldo embarrassed him

Mighty Mouse is apparently the greatest of all time. It's a shame that Ian McCall had to find out the hard way that Australia is a lovely country that sucks. It's also a shame that he can't get himself together enough to still get credit for that mighty mouse fight.

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. put jose and conor at ww and mm to fw and edgar looks crazy impressive.

Oh no i agree but it is still an all time phenomenal performance by Aldo in the all time history of MMA. To see how good Edgar has been since then and before in the same division against top contenders just shows that Aldo is ridiculous. If Edgar looked worse since it could be argued downswing but he's still #3 in the world... and I'd pick Edgar over Holloway any day of the week.

To sound like Joe Rogan for a moment, "If you had to design the perfect fighter to beat Frankie Edgar it'd be Jose Aldo". Styles make fights and everything Aldo loves doing is great again what Frankie loves doing.

i think probably aldo will shut holloway down for a 50-45 or 49-46 but there'll be a lot of cool moments along the way

CommonShore posted:And Max has 10 wins since then. Max today would beat Conor. Let's just calm the gently caress down. I think Max did much better on the feet vs Conor than most people seem to think, even prior to Conor's injury. But at the end of the day max Holloway was wrestled by Conor fweaking McGregor. Sure it would be a compelling match but it's a bold claim to make, particularly because it will never happen at 145

There's a lot of stuff about how they match up with each other that won't change though for example their comparative sizes to the rest of the division etc.

I am reasonably confident that Mayweather would beat Conor in a boxing match, but beyond that, I'm not confident at all with predicting a loss in a MMA bout by Conor, unless he tries to jump to LHW or something similarly stupid.

Mayweather will gently caress him up barring a miracle and McGregor's air of MMA invincibility isn't especially large considering he got choked out by Nate Diaz last year.

I feel like any orthodox fighter at a reach disadvantage is going to have a real hard time with Conor. I want to see Conor fight Tony Ferguson. That's an interesting match up to me.

As long as Aldo doesn't face the man who made him look like a collar from Mad Men he is unbeatable and the best fighter in the world, except for when he's not.

GSP has found a perfect quantum state because hes never going to fight but if he never fights he'll never lose and have to retire.

Frankie is second best to Aldo. Aldo pretty much outclasses him everywhere, except maybe he moves fewer miles in a fight than Frankie does. I think it's funny that Chad$ was considered #2 for so long and then gets back to back murdered by Conor, Frankie, and an acne cream. Max is very good but he'd lose to Aldo and Frankie. I'd love to see him fight Conor or Tony Ferguson though, those would be sick fights.
