It was real good but I think Aldo came out ahead, he took his shots but he always seemed to have the upper hand as far as I could tell..

Watching the rematch now and I'm actually pretty sure I watched this show before since I remember the controversy over Silva coming in as a late replacement and Cormier getting booed for not going hard out against him, but I don't actually remember this fight.

yeah that's reasonable.

you probably did watch the rematch but it was considered tedious by people who didn't have context. hope you find it more enjoyable the next time around.

just like the underdog look like he's winning when he's simply being competitive, ufc 200 poo poo the bed despite it having miller killing gomi, lauzon burying diego, sage not tapping to an armbar and winning, tj schooling assuncao, kelvin schooling johny, cain spin kicking brown and collapsing that stupid idiot, and frankie / aldo II.

Yeah it was their "biggest show ever", and of the three cards that weekend, it was the third best.

then that was a good weekend. 200 wasn't half bad.

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.

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.

pretty much. oh and jose is like 8th on the all-time tdd list, but the times he was actually taken down he pops right back up. they shouldn't even count they're so worthless.

i think edgar held him down for like 20 or 30 seconds once. i think. man he's good.

that said though i think holloway will give him problems. an unorthodox, young, hungry striker seems like a guy who could make jose work. keen as heck.

Aldo's like 5'7 he's not a gigantic featherweight.

mark hunt is 3 inches taller than aldo.

50/50 is fair at this stage, imo. floyd / berto did gently caress all. conor and nathan for no title did like a quarter of floyd / pac.

also read earlier in the week that pac offered to fight conor after he fucks up horn in australia. that could be interesting, negotiations wise, as conor / pac is nearly as big of a fight and it would actually be a way more thrilling and entertaining ppv. and pac would definitely take 50/50, maybe less.
