With Almeida getting put down like a dog by a counter puncher only months after Aldo getting put down like a dog by McGregor

it feels like this ultra aggressive Brazilian style of faux muay thai striking is at its end

If you've been watching MMA long enough, you'll know that everything goes in cycles. We have heard "Style x" is a thing of the past, then 5 years later a champ arrives.

Saying Chutebox is ultra aggressive brawling is like saying boxing is ultra aggressive brawling. The reality is that some fighters are making mistakes and getting beat. Their style isn't to blame. Their poor utilisation of the style is.
 
It's not the style it's the fighter.

Especially when you consider Almeida just backed up the whole time and got run the fuck over

I don't think it was ever the best form of striking. It works well against guys who have trouble with being pressured, but if you face a good counterstriker or a guy who can seize the initiative and pressure back it falls apart.
 
Aldo rushed in uncharacteristically and got knocked out cold with a counter by a power puncher whilst Almeida got rushed and before he even had a chance to get going he was steamrolled, it happens.

And it's a crying shame, because it is so much fun to watch.
 
"ultra aggressive brawling" is a thing of the past for a couple of years now since almost no top MMA fighter utilizes such a style, neither does Aldo, neither did Almeida yesterday
 
Aldo, nor Almeida are a primed up, reckless Wand or Shogun.

are you refering to the lack of defense or epo?

True.

For years the guillotine was seen as ineffective because fighters practiced defending against it all the time and eventually it was no longer an effective weapon so it wasn't worth defending against, only to make a return years later.
