Yeah it sorta is, except Aldo is finishing violently and has a history as the greatest FW ever. That said, I understand where everyone's coming from.After two stoppage losses to the current champ in his past four fights, a third shouldn't really be on the agenda imo. It's like the DJ - Benavidez situation was at 125.
That's pretty backwards imo. UFC needs to get better at scouting talent me thinks. You don't need name value to put on good fights, just skilled fighters. PPV's need the names to sell, now moreso than ever due to the ESPN+ thing.wish they wouldnt staack a card too deep and make one of these shallow fight nights actually decent
That makes a lot more sense than just denying Aldo for losing to Max twice. Much more up the UFC's alley at least. Well damn. Looking like Frankie or Volk if he wins. August should be enough time after 237, no? Unless Aldo hurts him.aldo wont get a title shot unless he signs a new contract - unlikely right now unless they promise him title shot and a shit ton of money that hes satisfied with - again, hes not a huge draw so idk how contract negotiations would go
aldo fighting the top guys and knocking them off makes no sense for that reason - but i guess he didnt get the fights offered that he wanted to move up to 155 - probably a conor rematch or maybe another top guy.That makes a lot more sense than just denying Aldo for losing to Max twice.

I really don't care either way, all three are fun fights for Max imo. Even the trilogy nobody wants. The other 2 fights where still fun, regardless of how one sided.
Yeah but my response was to a guy suggesting that every card should have it, it’s fine every once in a while but if every card had it we wouldn’t appreciate itI mean you're right, but they've done it before, and very recently. If anything though, the international fight week card would get the rub.
Luque has already been booked against Magny in some fight night card but the rest of the fights sound great.I'll post it on here once it's over, but Max is live on IG right now, and stated multiple times that "Anaheim is looking nice". Sounds like a pretty dope PPV to me:
HW Championship: Daniel Cormier(C) x Stipe Miocic ll
FW Championship: Max Holloway(C) x Frankie Edgar or Volkanovski/Aldo winner
How would you round out the rest of the card? Seems pretty solid with those two fights, so I don't really expect the UFC to stack this too much. Discuss.
Edit: I want to see something like this
UFC 241: Honda Center, Anaheim, CA
Daniel Cormier(C) x Stipe Miocic ll
Max Holloway(C) x Frankie Edgar - Aldo/Volkanovski
Brian Ortega x Zabit Magomedsharipov
Vicente Luque x Elizeu Dos Santos
Uriah Hall x Derron Winn
I can’t wait for you to fall down stairsCan't wait for Holloway's chin to finally crack.
This. Holloway has Aldo's number and I don't wanna see him butchered again.Holloway vs Aldo again? No thanks never again.
3 fights on 1 card better than anything on 238Imagine this
Stipe vs DC 2
Holloway vs Aldo/Vokanovski
Colby vs Usman
