At the very least it's been impressive considering the competition.

Having long limbs helps.

Nope, Jose Aldo is the undisputed TDD GOAT.

He took down DC, yes, but briefly. You don't become "among the best" from just two takedowns.
His wrestling is solid, that's for sure. Unfortunately his fight IQ against DC was horrendous. Small adjustments and he would have won that fight.

 

[OneManGang]

The two takedowns - both of which he caught his exhausted opponents by surprise - where his only one. He ain't no GSP.

 

[Dead Kennedy]

Damn good for someone who doesn’t come from a wrestling background, especially against the guys he’s faced. Also has a smoking hot wife, so there’s that too...

This. Absolutely agree with you. The guy has a huge reach advantage but decided to stay half the fight taking uppercuts in the clinch??? Terrible.

My jaw hit the floor when he took Bones down. Didn't see that coming in a thousand years.

True dat. Gus goes on a head kick and uppercut diet when in championship fights it seems..

Though about 80% of women look that good in Sweden.
