Wouldn't having Yan vs Moraes and Aldo vs Faber at UFC 245 make more sense?

Great matchmaking again from the UFC.

<[analyzed}>
 
Faber doesn't have a leg to stand on with Aldo. Hopefully Yan re-retires him.
 
kind of but this is probably Faber's last fight, maybe he doesn't want to go through Aldo again
 
Aldo and Moraes are coming off losses. Yan and Faber are coming off wins. This is pretty basic matchmaking stuff.
 
The ufc wants more contenders they don't give a shit about aldo or Faber they are hoping both yan and moraes will win.
 
Yes all the sense. Fuck Sean Shelby for ruining bantamweight. Post ufc 238 before faber's return was beautiful, now we're stuck with some BS.
 
Faber might Tito Aldo at this point like Tito did to Liedell
And if dinosaurs r going to fight id rather they fight any contender and not just old guy vs old guy
 
That would’ve been a good storyline and would have added onto the PPV buys with

“2 legends rematch 10 years later.”

but of course UFC Monday morning meetings go a little something like this:

The whole point of having past-their-prime legends in showcase fights is to get the younger guys over. It would completely defeat the purpose to have Aldo and Faber fight each other at this point in their careers. That will only come if they each lose on Saturday and then lose maybe 1 or 2 more times to younger fighters.
