The ONLY way Edgar loses to Aldo ...

[Godzilla3232]

Is if he gets leg kicked to death. Everywhere else Edgar has beaten better fighters than Aldo. BJJ, TDD and Boxing he's beaten Penn. Wrestling he's beaten Sherk.

Edgar should be the favorite. Aldo is a great fighter but grossly overrated. You're welcome.

If Edgar doesn't take too much damage in rounds 1-2 its his for the taking

My reservation is that Aldo is more of a finisher than anyone Edgar has faced in recent memory. I just don't know if he can take the punishment and speed Aldo is famous for.

[Grappling Magic]

... is by VICIOUS TKO. Edgar WILL NOT beat Aldo standing up so he had better take Aldo down quickly and keep him there.

This is the first time we'll see Edgar without a speed advantage, and I think that may be trouble for him. Aldo is lightning fast with crazy power. If Gray Maynard and Ben Henderson could clip and hurt Edgar, I think Aldo will probably be able to do the same.

We shall see though - who knows...

Aldo going to tko him Aldo is a finisher and his going to finish Edgar

[rampageSmackson]

Agree with TS, I think Aldo is better than BJ in overall stand up game by a very small margin though

[BiggThump]

If Edgar can weather Aldo's storm like attack,then he stands a chance of winning this fight.

[ISWThunder]

I love BJ, but his boxing is nothing like Edgar's stylistically. BJ has more power behind his jab and is content to stand in the pocket. Edgar uses more accuracy and movement and Aldo falls between the two and uses excellent kicks.

And MMA is not about individual skills but how you put the all together. Aldo is an extremely dangerous opponent and it would be silly to think he only has one way to win this fight.

Aldo's killer instinct > Edgar's killer instinct
