TJ does not have a speed advantage. Aldo, even with his fight mileage, is one of the most explosive fighters in the world
 
I love Aldo, he's always going to have the champ status, but that's a tough pick and only because I'm bias. TJ might take it, but Aldo might find a way on the feet. It's not like TJ can't be caught and I know the same can be said for Aldo, he can be finished as well. Truly though, if I had to pick, it would be Aldo.
 
I think Aldo can KO/TKO him early. TJ doesn't have the best chin and gets dropped easily and Aldo is the hardest hitter in the division.
 
TJ is chinny. I could easily see Aldo cracking him good and getting the TKO

Aldo's main weakness though I'd say is a lack of power, he'll likely try and jab a decision over TJ which I think plays into DIllashaws hands.
 
TJ is more crafty with his striking and definitely has better cardio.
 
I like both fighters and I believe this would be a great fight. I lean slightly toward TJ though. Aldo tends to gas later in fights, as we saw tonight when, instead of attempting to finish, he was content to sit and suck air for a couple of minutes. TJ's cardio holds up way better than Aldo's, and that along with TJ's awkward movement would be the difference.
 
TJ's at a height and reach disadvantage, has glass knees, and has never had a great chin. He also likely wouldn't be able to rely on hugging Aldo to win large portions of rounds. I favor Aldo, but of course Aldo's cardio is always worrisome.

I don't think he'll beat the champ but Aldo should arguably move into the top 3 after this.

What more it does he need?
This was a tough fight for him. I think next fight is going to be a bad beating. There is no shame for Aldo. He is the man but he has slowed down a lot.
 
TJ drowns him in a five round fight. In a three round fight, maybe Aldo. Depends on how TJ is really and where Aldo is at time of fight. Too many variables, but, would be fun for everybody involved.
 
I think he would beat Sterling.
He doesn't have the cardio to deal with Sterling's grappling. Sterling's goofy volume approach might drown Aldo too or at least win him the first few rounds. Aldo hasn't finished anyone in BW. Sterling might be slightly bigger than him. I don't think he will enjoy the same size advantage like against Font.
