We must have missed Aldo's amazing BJJ. He didn't seem to have much off his back against a mediocre kickboxer.
He took the rnd off

1) & 3)
Cant believe he is a huge favorite in this forums. Mark Hominick destroyed Aldo in the last round and showed to the world the blueprint. The moment Jose Aldo tries a LK he is going to end on his back, but lets pretend he is not going to trow any and he will focus on his boxing. What Edgar will do is just exactly what Cain did to JDS: Constant pressure, constant takedown attempts and clinching. Edgar will not tire in the entire fight and Aldo
Out landed doest realy mean much when you eat power shots and get dropped. Aldo was also rolling with them shots, he was rarely hit flush or with anything with sting on it

Aldo can match Frankie's speed, and I don't see him swinging and leaving openings.
Aldo's speed and set ups will be the difference. He might catch a few, but while he was catching Ben's kicks he was actually getting hit with them. If Aldo keeps connecting, after 2 rounds Frankie will be limping.
Except Aldo has amazing BJJ plus he showed ridiculous TD defense vs a great wrestler in Mendes. Also he hasn't really gassed besides the Hominick fight, and that was because he was very ill.
Aldo via leg kick destruction. He'll completely outclass Frankie.
I think this is one fight where anything can happen.
Aldo has never faced as complete of a fighter as Frankie.
Frankie has indeed faced powerful all around fighters in BJ Penn and Bendo but ... he arguably lost the first fight against Penn and did in fact lose to Bendo (arguably won the rematch).
So I could see Aldo win as he seems to be a bit of a combination of BJ Penn and Bendo combined ... crushing Frankie. He has Penn's boxing, and supposedly Penn's level or greater BJJ ... and he has Bendo's amazing leg kicks with arguably more power.
The one area Aldo is not at BJ or Bendo's level is TDD ... so far.
With all that said ... I could see Frankie wearing Aldo down and winning a classic Frankie style point match.
Or I can see Aldo out kickbox Frankie until he quits if he has any quit in him.
Either way ... can't WAIT for this fight!!!
