Have to agree.I think Edgar can wins all the rounds as long as he doesn't get rocked.To me the biggest question is if Aldo can finish Edgar, if he can't then I like Edgar.Then again with how I've been lately you're probably better off switching to Aldo lol.

The two biggest things Aldo brings against everyone are his athleticism and his speed. He'll absolutely retain those advantages against Edgar, but Frankie is going to pressure him a lot more intelligently and effectively than people like Mendes, Hominick, and Florian. He won't be thrown off by the size advantage Aldo will have either after fighting giants in his former weight class like Bendo and Maynard. His ability to pick off kicks will be big here though. I think Aldo can score early but the longer this goes the more it favors Frankie. If it hits the third I see Edgar taking over and with Aldo's questionable stamina and the layoff Frankie's chances look good. Hopefully though it results in a three fight series because there's literally no one else at 145 in the UFC.

That rocking part is the only thing holding me back from picking the Edgar UD. I feel like Aldo is fast enough to go for a vicious kill if it happens, and that is why I'm having trouble committing to Frankie here.

Does Aldo have questionable stamina? I'm asking because I don't have a clue and because I've never really seen it questioned (or praised for that matter).

When he's been pushed(which is rare admittedly), he's slowed down very visibly. The fight with Hominick saw him with absolutely nothing left in the fifth round and just sitting there letting Hominick work him over. That fight also saw him coming off of a layoff shorter than this one. Even Kenny Florian had Aldo breathing pretty heavy and its not like Florian was putting a lot of pressure on him. Aldo cuts A LOT of weight to make 145 and Edgar is a pressure fighter, a quick one at that.

Yeah, I mean, I can see the case for Frankie wearing him down and winning...but his defense is anything but iron clad. If he ends up tagged, I don't see Aldo letting him off the hook the way Maynard did.

The only fight he showed a cardio problem was like BB said was the Hominick fight and that was late in the fight shown pretty visibly in the 5th but that was his first bout back since coming off an injury.Also worth mentioning hes coming off another injury leading into this fight.
