If Jose Aldo pulled out tomorrow, how would you remember him?

As one of the best, or are you of the mindset that you are only as good as your last few fights?
 
FW GOAT, one of the GOATs.

WEC FW champ, 2X UFC FW champ

18 fight win streak, 9 title defenses

Perhaps the best resume ever consisting of numerous well rounded fighters including prime Frankie 2X and prime Mendes 2X.
 
Pulled out of what?
 
he created this

This is how Jose will be remembered by the masses, if at all

as the butt end of Conor jokes
 
A fighter once considered great by many that was exposed once he started fighting legit comp and went 1-3 in his last 4, being finished all 3 times.

Top 20 GOAT.
 
I'd try to remember WEC Aldo and block out bitter whining Aldo of later years.
 
As the FW GOAT who had a long and impressive reign before falling off.
 
I will remember all the destroyed fight cards and pull outs. I will remember him pulling out of the biggest MMA event in the history of the world after 6 months of a world tour, and then rooting for his replacement. lol. I will remember him having a teammate arrest and detain a drug tester, and then remember him going AWOL for a few days and when he finally pissed in a cup he 'dropped' it on the floor. Then I will remember all the crying and whining.

Then I will remember 13 glorious seconds.

Still one of my favorite MMA moments ever was his walk-out in Sacramento for the Uriah Faber fight.
