In what world does Cub deserve the title shot over Aldo?

The moment I heard Frankie was injured the first name that popped in my head to replace him was Aldo. Cub has been fighting very well recently, but against lower tier competition and is not able to get the finish. The most decorated FW champ and a guy with 2 wins over Frankie should be the obvious replacement.

In the post usada world
What century are we in again?
Aldo dominated Frankie at UFC 200 and had a competitive fight with Max until he got KO'd.
Cub got STEAMROLLED by both Frankie and Max.

I do think some people could argue for Cub. "Aldo already lost to Max so recently, and is 1-2 in his last fights. Cub is on a 4 fight streak, and won fight of the year with Doo Ho Choi so he's sure to entertain."
But seeing as Cub has also lost to Max, and every other top 5 guys in the division (Aldo, Edgar, Lamas, Mendes) I don't think he's the guy.
There's no good contender around who hasn't already lost to Holloway, so that part is out of the equation. (Unless Mendes had came back with a win)

Okay, give Aldo Cubs last 4 and he would dominate.
Give Cub Aldos last 4 and he would lose every single time badly. (Max, Frankie, McGregor, Mendes)
Win streaks don't mean shit when you are fighting cans.

Cub had his redemption match vs Doo Ho Choi in a potential FOTY bout. He's in a 4 victories streak. Before his loss to Max and Edgar, he was on a 6 wins streak and two of his victories were against Dennis Siver and Dustin Poirier. Does that remind you of someone? He's a veteran and has been fighting for a longtime but he never had a title shot. The fact that Aldo just lost to Holloway by TKO. I'm not a fan of instant rematch unless it's a long time champion. Aldo should have gotten one vs Conor but we know he moved to LW. So instead, he got another title shot vs Edgar and won his belt back. Edgar had multiple shot at the belt. I believe it was time for Cub to have one. But since it's his last fight on his contract, the ufc show how much it's easy to lowball their veteran fighters in theses situtations. No wonder they keep losing big name like Rory and Mousasi.
