Aldo VS Henry 2020

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Do y’all think Aldo could of taken the belt off Henry if Covid never happened? Aldo’s takedown defence is insane but I wouldn’t doubt Henry wall n stalling Aldo

Henry vs Aldo was supposed to happen in 2020 in May but then the pandemic happened, Henry ended up fighting Cruz and Aldo would end up fighting Yan for the title when Henry “retried”

Aldo over Cejudo in 2020. Bout would probably be some kind of war.

Aldo from back in the day would rock any version of Cejudo.

 

[SamuraiBro]

I would’ve picked Henry by Decision 48-47. Maybe a split decision

That version of Aldo gets controlled in the clinch by Henry. But prime Aldo runs through any version of Henry.

Would have been close in 2020 although Aldo's cardio in the late rounds and Cejudo's chin would be possible tipping point for either.

Prime vs Prime, Aldo via murder. Cejudo gets FAR too much credit and is not even a top 30 fighter of all time IMHO

So let me ask, what makes you think a younger Aldo is able to avoid the clinch?

Defense against fence pressing is not related to youth just so you know.

 

[Ludwig von Mises]

Would have been interesting for sure. Id favor Henry at that time. A better question is how would prime Aldo do against prime Henry. I'd take Aldo.

Prime Aldo fought with more urgency and was bigger/stronger. He also racked up damage quicker since he was more explosive and less tentative in general which will affect Henry's ability to grapple.
