Jose Aldo vs Dominick Cruz

[Thuckey]

Who takes it and how?

It's close but I think maybe Cruz by a very close decision. Easily a draw perhaps.

If the UFC were smart they'd try to market this while they are still in their primes. Aldo has lost some stock but with his last win surely people realize he is still very much one of the best.

 

[ARONAbeetFEDOR]

Cruz by decision. Speed and avoiding baseball bat leg kicks all day bay bee.

The two best p4p fighting each other. Would be great.

 

[BBKAllDay]

Also is Cruz's worst match-up 145 and down. Mind says Aldo, but I'd love for Cruz to win

Great fight aldo by decision

 

[StopDucking]

Cruz wouldn't even get past Frankie Edgar.

 

[TheNinja]

Hmmmm. This is tough. It's hard for me to vote objective b/c I cannot stand Dom. I want to say Aldo by Decision but it's tough to catch Dom. Dom would probably find some way to steal rounds and avoid getting hit. IT would be a boring frustrating fight to watch for sure.
It would be like the house cat avoiding the lion for 25 minutes and then claiming it somehow "won" the fight.

 

[MayhemMonkey]

its hard to see how Dom could get Aldo down, and he would have to at least threaten with takedowns to be effective on the feet

its a really tough fight, as much as I love Dom I have to think Aldo would be too much for him

 

[Redrum741]

I hate picking against Aldo, so I'll go with Aldo by decision.

inb4 "McGregor kills Cruz just like he did Aldo"

 

[Themonsoon]

Aldo and Cruz have been my two favorite fighters since there wec days.

But Aldo is a horrible match up for cruz, if anyone thinks cruz can beat Aldo well then mm is not for you cuz no way Cruz can beat Aldo he has nothing for him

 

[MuyThaiElbows]

Great match up imo.

Aldo by kicks

 

[Bookerman]

I feel the pain in Doms knees before the fight even happens

 

[BoosieBoo]

Lol at anyone thinking Cruz has a chance in this fight. just Lol.

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

Cruz by his footwork

inb4 people say aldo will break cruz leg with legkicks

Aldo threw like 2 leg kicks in the frankie fight cause he was afraid of the takedown. He wont throw them in a Cruz fight for the same reason

Thought this was happening

This is really one of the last intriguing and fresh fights the UFC could do right now, and it is doable. Maybe non-title catchweight.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Cruz wins by decision, Aldo is hitting air with his punches, he might land a few leg kicks but not much more.

Don't think Aldo could cut anymore though?

Cruz could always take it at FW, McGregor fight after would be crazy...

Upset we never got cruz vs barao at that peak.

MISMATCH,.....what does cruz have to offer in this fight.Dont get me wrong, Cruz is a very good fighter but this guy has become the most over rated fighter in the world.I actually thought he should've lost the fight with T.j

Aldo has the size and power to just walk right at and thru dom cruz.Jose has nothing to worry about.Has soon as he lays his hands on dom, its over(and he will catch him)

 

[I see stiffness]

Cruz...easily!
