Aldo isnt gonna be able to stay up against Khabib. He keeps throwin them kicks Khabib is gonna take him down. He is going to have try to stop Khabib before that happens,cos we seen in the MJ fight Khabib kept coming at him no matter what he threw at him. Taking hits didnt discourage Khabib from the gameplan. Comin straight in. Aldo would need to do something to keep Khabib off of him. Can he do that consistently without getting taken down? i dont know.I think something to consider here is whie RDA may have the BJJ edge here, Aldo is a much better wrestler and overall striker. RDA is a very solid fighter but he also gets by on being very very strong for his weight class and utilizes aggression effectively.I dont think you can really say RDA is a bigger version of Aldo, I think overall Aldo is the more talented fighter.
And like i said not having to cut that ten extra is a world of difference for someone that cuts alot of weight.
Its interesting the deeper you dig into it because Aldo could wear Khabib out if he keeps it standing like Khabib could if he keeps it on the ground.
Aldo has unnaturally good fast twitch TDD, even against people shooting counter takedowns against his striking, and hes no slouch at reactive takedowns either, very underrated wrestler offensively, he should use it more honestly especially since he has high level BJJ to keep the worry of submissions at bay.
But again Khabib is more of a guy that gets his hands on you and grinds to the ground or hits suplexes rather than being an explosive wrestler.
I think Khabibs fight against Ferguson will be very telling of how this other fight could go.
Side note huge Aldo and Khabib fan, dream fight for me
Whos faster Superman or the Flash?
no wayAldo dominates him.
what aspect do you see that at all he wouldent be able to stay on his feet long enough and he is infamous for gassing khabib has the best cardio in the ufc. by far the best takedowns and is a Russian sambo champion dominating the best in the next weight class up. to say aldo has a chance is crazy.Aldo 49-46.
Aldo 49-46. Best TDD in MMA history. Better striker than Khabib. And it's a myth and a straight up lie that Aldo is "infamous for gassing". He won rounds 5 against Florian, Chad, Faber, and cardio machine Frankie 2X.what aspect do you see that at all he wouldent be able to stay on his feet long enough and he is infamous for gassing khabib has the best cardio in the ufc. by far the best takedowns and is a Russian sambo champion dominating the best in the next weight class up. to say aldo has a chance is crazy.
Maybe over 200 metres..The flash baby come on now
it would be the most interesting fight ever in the history of this fucking sport
Aldo wins 49-46. Deal with it.
Tibau is way way way bigger than aldoAldo is VERY tough to take down. I could see this being similar to the Tibau fight. Difference being Aldo is in an entirely different class on the feet. Aldo would have a good shot here.
