People don’t realize this, but boxing is harder on the body and brain than mma, it’s easier to have a longer run in mma. Boxing you’re getting punched in the head and body nonstop both in training and in fights (boxing sparring is brutal). MMA doesn’t have a gym wars culture like boxing.
I dont know. Not getting past Merab sets him back aways. Cejudo is still a pick em fight. Hed have to beat someone like him or Aljo
Im sure Aldo is training smart though.
Yeah it could be that O'malley would have liked a win over Aldo,but the Chito thing wrote itself. They planned that fight for sean even before he won the fuckin belt hhaha
The fact there's a lot of people who forget he built that division, Was undefeated for 10 years and champion most of those years it makes me laugh. They put Max and Volk over Jose yet even though Aldo should have retired after Mendes 2 (you could see he had lost reflexes and timing) he's still able to hold his own and even out of his prime he's always been a hard fight.
Aldo's story is a bit like GSP being rated behind Usman by some fans
despite it being almost universally agreed top 3 of all time is filled by GSP, Jones and Silva the only argument being in which order you have them. Personally I am I think it's only because like Silva he didn't know when to quit for the good of personal legacy, GSP understood after the Hendricks fight that father time had caught him and retired, only coming out for a one fight at MW for a fight that was absolutely made for him
Yet George Foreman was the HW champ at 46 and Floyd was the best in the world till his 40’s.
From my understanding relatively few MMA gyms have that (Chute box for e.g.), in boxing it's the norm.
