Long time champ, dominated everyone, toward the end of his run he had a few decisions and people were starting to think he was boring, loses his title to Conor in devastating (arguably embarrassing) fashion.

Takes time off, beats edgar in a great performance, gets his title back but then loses to max holloway, twice.

So its been a while and its pretty clear he aint messin with Max, where do you see Aldo at the moment? Has your opinion on him changed?
 
He's one of the most skilled and dynamic fighters ever to compete. And one of the greatest champions as well. Top 5 all time.

Aldo is a legend that’s nearing the end of his awesome career..

Hespect!
 
I wish he would go back to throwing kicks.
 
All-time great, somewhere in the top 10 no question.

Why was his loss embarrassing? Would a sustained beating over 5 rounds be less embarrassing? He got hit with a perfectly thrown punch from a great fighter. 13 seconds, 13 minutes, 13 hours.
Nothing embarrassing about it at all. If you measure it against his entire resume, then you would acknowledge that it is unlikely that it would happen again. He deserved an immediate rematch, and that was Dana's first mistake with Conor.
 
Great fighter that got sparked out mentally and physically by another great fighter in his prime(Conor)
 
He’s currently a top 5-7 fighter ever. He’s been fighting for a long time. He’s slowing down just like every fighter does. But people who have watched his career know he’s an amazing fighter. Only the casuals on this board and Conor nuthuggers don’t appreciate how great he truly is. It’s sad when people only know him as the guy that got knocked out by Conor in 13 seconds.

Conor got in his head and caught him. Max is a really really good young fighter as well. The game catches up to everybody.

This is coming from someone that wouldn’t even consider himself an Aldo fan.

I agree. The only "embarassing" thing about it is that it happened after that media tour and all of Conor's shit talk.
 
One of the greatest champs we have ever seen. I think his time is past us now sadly and I see him losing more than he wins from here on out if he keeps fighting
 
Right now, in the second tier of greats, on the tier down from Fedor/GSP/Anderson/Jones (in my eyes).

GOAT FW for sure.
 
FW GOAT based on resume. Top 10 all-time, if not top 5 (depends on how you measure it and what you value). GOAT TDD and God-tier leg kicks. Seems his weakness was longer strikers.
 
Undisputed FW GOAT, top P4P during many years.
Time seems to have caught him, tho.
He is an all time favourite of mine.
