I would go with Cruz. His movement and timing is something else. It really depends on which Aldo shows up though. That's why I can't wait for this Frankie fight.
Cruz via decision. He's got better footwork and movement. I don't think Aldo would be able to move straight forward and tee off on them leg kicks against a guy like Cruz.
Aldo struggles to get to 145 sometimes and his gas tank in the last few rounds is questionable because of it so I don't think 140 would ever be doable for him. 145 is probably the lowest weight possible for him to make healthily especially with no IVs. Cruz would have to step up to 145 and at that weight I think Aldo damages those legs badly
TJ exposed the flat footed muay thai style with Barao. Although Aldo is better than Barao, Cruz is better than TJ. Footwork, angles....Unanimous decision.
A great matchup and I'd have no idea who'd take it. If Cruz would win it'd be via the most cautious decision in his life. I'd take Aldo tho if I had too.
