News Jose Aldo vs. Aiemann Zahabi UFC 315

Idk why he takes these fights against young up and comers. I know he’s a live dog in these but I wish they put him against some fun vets at 35 and 45.

Aiemann is 37. Not exactly a young up and comer despite his recent momentum.
 
UFC needs to stop matching Aldo up with bums, this is just ridiculous.
 
You know when it was announced that Aldo was coming back I thought we’d see some fun matchups such as

Dominick Cruz

Edson Barboza at FW

Figgy

But nah instead they got Aldo playing gatekeeper he should fire his manger

That was fake news, Dana was talking about Merab & Sean rematching and the OP trimmed the clip down to frame it like he was talking about Sean vs Aldo.

I watched the whole post fight press conference and I swear he was talking about Aldo/O’malley
 
Hmmm people seem to have a weird perspective toward Aldo. I’ll agree that never matching him
up against Cruz was a miss. Even if they did match him against Cruz, there was obviously a very good chance that Cruz wouldn’t make it to the fight. But like how many interesting fights are there to make for him, from fighters that are available to fight him?
Also everyone is acting as though he’s getting his ass kicked in his losses recently. The Yan fight was the last time he was finished, in what was a pretty competitive back and forth beforehand. That was his second fight at BW against a surging Yan. Since then, his only losses, were him getting stalled up against the cage.
You pretty much have to finish him to win decisively at all. It’s not as though he’s had a performance where he’s taken a prolonged beating on his way to losing a decision. Also he’s only been finished by elite competition.
Anyway, he still looks really good and his boxing offense/defense is better than it’s ever been. I, for one, just enjoy watching that man work.

I won’t lie I’m not super familiar with him

you’re right. TBH I didn’t know who he was off the top of my head and should’ve looked him up, I meant in general Aldo’s matchups are less than ideal and genuinely believe someone on this forum could matchmake better for him than the UFC.
 
I don't think Aldo cares anymore. He knows there's no title run left for him so he's just banking those 500k - 600k a fight.

As long as he's not getting embarassed, good for him.

They're content on doing nothing but using him as a building block for other fighter's at this point. They're squandered so many great fights with shit match making. It's baffling. To make matters worse, Aldo should be on a winning streak at this point. I am still of the opinion that he beat Bautista at 307.

If you're judging the fight based on new criteria, i.e damage being the #1 criteria, Jose won that fight.

TVA sports says it's confirmed, and tristar guys and ufc canada have been posting this, so I'm assuming it's true.

Sadly Aldo will continue to screw up his legacy by not retiring.
 
Aldo should have retired after the first Max fight. It was the perfect changing of the guard moment: Aldo had recaptured the belt (and glory), but he was clearly slowing down and there was a new king emerging. And there had already been talks about Aldo retiring.

Eight years later, he's still fighting and chasing glory from years past. If he insists on continuing and taking unnecessary damage, I prefer his fights be mismatches.
 
Should be a gimme fight for Aldo but who knows. He was better off retired he won't sniff another championship belt

Who cares? The guy is still making bank and it's not like he's taking a lot of damage by doing so. I bet he's making like $250k per fight nowadays. Would you retire if you were him? Of course you wouldn't. You gotta strike while the iron is hot and that's exactly what he's doing.
