Nobody can beat a 2011 Jose Aldo
2011 Aldo wasn't all that dominant against Florian from what I remember it was a competitive fight albeit Aldo always in control. And Kenny was at the tail end of his career and looked very bad at 145 vs Diego Nunes even before the Aldo fight....
Then Mark Hominick was a testament to how shallow the UFC's 145lb division was, Hominick was always a low level fighter, not the kind of guy who's championship contention material and never was. The fact that he survived all 5 rounds and dominated Aldo late is a blemish on Aldo's record.
Ortega is much better than these fighters were at 145lbs. The 145lb division as fastly outgrown fighters like Hominick and emaciated Florian. If you think this implies Aldo is unbeatable, you're delusional. Don't get me wrong, I favor a prime Aldo to beat Ortega, hell a prime Edgar probably beats Ortega too but Ortega is a live dog...
