Let's stop with the bullshit once and for all.
http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2015/7/7...t-of-fighters-who-pull-out-of-the-most-fights
a few popular names for those too lazy to read:
Jose Aldo 6 (28 fights)
ratio 4,67
Jon Jones 5 (23 fights)
ratio 4,6
Anthony Pettis 5 (25 fights)
ratio 5
Josh Thomson 5 (31 fights)
ratio 6,2
Luke Rockhold 5 (18 fights)
ratio 3,6
Tarec Saffiedine 5 (21 fights)
ratio 4,2
Alistair Overeem 5 (41 fights)
ratio 8,2
Georges St. Pierre 4 (27 fights)
ratio 6,75
Frank Mir 4 (29 fights)
ratio 7.25
Rory MacDonald 4 (22 fights)
ratio 5,5
So Aldo has only pulled out of one more fight than Jones, Pettis, Rockhold, Saffiedine, two more than St-Pierre and Mir.
The frequency of the injuries has increased later in his career, but this is very normal considering increased wear and tear as a career progresses and also the fact that training for and competing in 5 round title defenses is more taxing on the body.
The important part though, is pullout-to-fights ratio. Looking at those numbers, the hypocrisy of the posters bashing Aldo is revealed; no one on this list has ever gotten a fraction of the criticism that Aldo has been getting over the past year, and yet:
Jones' is slightly worse
Rockhold's is much worse
Pettis' and Rory's are only slightly better
