Because Conor beat Aldo? Aldo's way above Conor in FW ranking.

I know nockndiaz took down tibau several times. So was he the only guy to take him down.
because everyone Aldo fought would try to take him down.
I would assume Aldo has fought over 100+ more takedowns minimum than tibau as everyone wanted to stand up with him.

Yes, he is the FW GOAT. Conor, Max and Volk still are better fighters

Hater and delusional about Aldo fighting wrestlers.
he coasted against a midget
not impressed by his performance tbh
amazing TDD btw
Only exists to hate.
Conor walked around calling everyone manlets and almost died to make 145 but wants to prop himself up by size and weight bullying then crying about Nate and losing most his fights above 145? Yeah, the guy can't have it both ways. So dumb.
Aldo is the best FW of all time. Also, if you think any of those losses happened in Jose's prime, you're a fool.

... and he's behind someone who never even defended a belt. Right.
I got a 1752 chess rating, so with a gun on the right day, I'd probably be able to beat Magnus. History will forever show that because I shot that motherfucker, then made him play opera house, I am vastly superior forever!
My status amongst the best will never be challenged, for I spend my time not defending, making shitty booze, and punching old fuckers with no rounds. RAWR.

Aldo looked as good as ever last night. His speed, his power, reflexes, technique and fight IQ was on point. His cardio looked better than normal. The leg kicks were there as well. He’s only 34 and might still be in his prime today. To say he was out of prime already 6 years ago is ridiculous and a baseless claim. He still had amazing performances after that fight. And after Max’s fights as well

This might be one of the dumbest posts I've read in a long time. I say this as a big Max fan.

Mendes hit that exact same takedown like 5 seconds after that and Aldo still managed to get back to his feet in like 0.2 nanoseconds.he coasted against a midget
not impressed by his performance tbh
amazing TDD btw
Aldo grabbed the fence once in his career and somehow it's a big narrative about him lol. It was completely irrelevant regarding the outcome of the fight

Aldo is most definitely on the GOAT shortlist. Holloway is an absolute gem of a fighter(and by my account should be holding the belt), but I have to say it was comical to see him being lauded as the featherweight GOAT on the back of his two wins against Aldo. It's one thing to be the undisputed best fighter in a division at a point in time, it's quite another to hold that spot for many years while taking on all comers. Hard to see many people making that argument now.

Man, you're a fool if you think he was in his prime in these fights. Go watch his WEC career right now, I can tell you haven't. Go watch his Pancrase fight against Maruyama. That's prime Aldo. Compare it now to his UFC version. I don't even care about the level of opposition (which was not too shabby already, btw). Just look at the form and the speed of strikes, look at the output, look at the level of aggression. He never quite performed like this in the UFC.
He used to be such a fucking beast man, not just with stand up or with TDD either, like he still is nowadays. His offensive grappling was almost akin to Khabib's ffs. Look what he did to Mike Brown or Nogueira on the ground. Or what he did to Uriah. Basically the best grappling competition you could offer him in MMA back then. He fucking SMOOSHED them on the ground. Not the slightest hint of competitiveness levels of smooshing. His top control and GNP were insane. His takedowns too. That's Prime Aldo. Outside of one timid back take against Chito and a few meaningless takedowns againt KZ, we haven't seen SHIT from Aldo offensively grappling wise in the UFC.
There's no smoke without fire. If you hear about WEC Aldo everywhere you go in MMA communities, there's a reason for it. WEC Aldo is the GOAT. BJJ, wrestling, striking. 10 out of 10 everywhere, all while being as fast as a cat and more agressive than a pitbull. UFC Aldo is an old and patient Chinese master compared to this guy. He's more experienced, that's it. You only see sparkles of WEC Aldo there and there. He used to fight like that for the ENTIRETY of his fights. Munoz wouldn't have been able to put any weight on his leg after 2 minutes against WEC Aldo. Most probably wouldn't have seen the end of the 1st round.

Conor is not a small lightweight. He just can't hang with people whis own size so he had to kill himself cutting weight to bully smaller men in a lower weight class
