How would Aldo do at LW?

[Iroh]

Who would he win against? Who'd he lose against? What fight would basically be a toss up?

Aldo is not a small FW and talks about him moving up have taken place on here before. Seeing how people still think Aldo is better than Conor, I wonder what people think his chamces at LW are.

 

[CJohnny]

Would get wrecked by Conor again.

Would lose but do fine against Barboza, Cerrone, Khabib, Johnson and Ferguson.

RDA is a cool fight, not sure who wins.

 

[Happiness]

I think he'd do very well to great at LW provided his defensive wrestling held up. I'd have concerns over reach as well.

 

[Agnawedbone]

Throughout most of his reign as UFC champion he could have taken the lightweight belt IMO.

He'd eat Alvarez alive.

 

[Happiness]

Most of his reign as UFC champion he could have taken the lightweight belt at any time IMO.

Bendo would have been his worst match-up imo.

 

[Malvo]

I hope he moves up soon. I think he'd do great. So many many awesome fights for him at LW.

 

[Agnawedbone]

Bendo would have been his worst match-up imo.

He would have been tricky because of the size difference, yeah.

 

[TrainInVain]

Think he would do great. I think he would beat anyone outside of the top 5 and I would still like his chances vs top 5 anyway.

Let him fight Nate.

He would have been tricky because of the size difference, yeah.

Bendo is totally relentless to go with that size as well.

 

[Bookerman]

I just don't think Aldo is big enough when you look at the names listed above. 145lbs is the ideal weight for him.

 

[Happiness]

If you count his WEC days, the list of LW Champs while Aldo held the FW are as follows; Bj Penn, Frankie Edgar, Benson Henderson, Anthony Pettis, RDA, Eddie Alvarez.

 

[Striderx5]

 

[NoContest]

He would be the UFC's first FW champ to move up and fight at LW.

 

[Busa]

They will all slap him around just like Conor did.

 

[Iroh]

He would be the UFC's first FW champ to move up and fight at LW.

Depends on Conor's next move, when he makes it and when Aldo would fight at LW.

 

[ortizgnp]

Think he would do great. I think he would beat anyone outside of the top 5 and I would still like his chances vs top 5 anyway.

Let him fight Nate.

You want one of Nate's legs amputated, bro?

:>

 

[Chrome Brutus]

Throughout most of his reign as UFC champion he could have taken the lightweight belt IMO.

He'd eat Alvarez alive.

Yeah I doubt that. Alvarez would KO him just like he did to Dos Anjos.

 

[Zefram Cochrane]

If you count his WEC days, the list of LW Champs while Aldo held the FW are as follows; Bj Penn, Frankie Edgar, Benson Henderson, Anthony Pettis, RDA, Eddie Alvarez.

Murderer's row, but we know he would have beat Frankie.

 

[Happiness]

Murderer's row, but we know he would have beat Frankie.

Very probably Pettis too, right?

 

[WhitebeltXL]

Aldo would be a top contender at LW and think he'd have a chance against any in the division. He dominated former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar. The only guy to have done so in my opinion.
