Ok. I would like to see him fight Max.http://mmajunkie.com/2016/12/coach-...s-155-pound-title-plans-says-ufc-was-on-board
Max was told when the fight would be by the UFC, he was stupid in not thinking about how close it was, but right in saying Feb is too soon. Aldo now wants to wait LONGER to fight to fight at 155 and not fight Max, his team flat out said Max is not the fight they want .. while keeping his belt. If he wins he then wants Conor, which would be in August maybe. THEN ... if Max keeps defending the "belt" and wins .. Aldo would then maybe drop down from 155 to fight Max a year from now if he fights Conor.
It's ridiculous. Fight Max, THEN try for 155, Conor is taking a break, he's not fighting right now. So first Aldo doesn't want Max at UFC 206 and flat out said he wanted to fight Pettis not Max .. now they are trying to avoid Max again and wait LONGER to fight someone else.
But Conor is the one who made these things normal for champs. Now it's getting harder to find a champ who fights the top guy. At least Aldo has done so every time up until today.
So if Conor gets a pass then Aldo should too. He has defended plenty of times. There will always be a contender who will not get his shot this way.
