I'll be cheering for Aldo even though I like Pettis as well. I think the match up favours Pettis slightly so I've gotta back the underdog.

I think Aldo will take it to the ground or clinch more than usual. I also think he will try to establish his leg kicks early so he can limit Pettis' mobility early.

what in the fuck are you talking about? Why does everyone assume that if u've held the belt for a few years you get an immediate rematch if you lose. Not even gsp got one after serra .
