The most hardest and brutal Pill to swallow when it comes to Aldo

fighters_respect said:
His defences were against fighter's like Urijah Faber, Cub Swanson, and Chad Mendes. Even if it's 9 defences. Chad had McGregor nearly TKO'd and ran out of cardio or something.

Sorry, I know it's unpopular.

Also McGregor was able to watch tapes of Aldo then sit and point out to Dana how Aldo charges into punches.

Urijah Faber, Cub Swanson, and Chad Mendes these are fighters on Arnold allen level, they havent done anything great to be on the same level as Volk wins of Aldo and Max x3

ALDO aint even top 3 FW.
1. VOLKANOVSKI
2. Max Holloway
3 Conor mcgregor
4. Aldo

Lets compare wins...
Volk beaten : Max x3, Aldo, Yair, Ortega (honorable mentions Mendes, zombie)

Max : Aldo x2, Ortega, Pettis, Yair and Ortega (honorable mention Allen, Gaethje, swanson)

Conor : Max, dustin, Aldo, mendes, Alvarez.( honorable mention Diaz)

Aldo: Frankie, mendez, zombie, Swanson. (honorable mention Faber)

You dont get to be the GOAT of the division just because you defend your belt more times against taxi drivers, Aldo literally brought his belt from another organization and started defending it in the UFC.. if Conor, max and Alex were given the same opportunity they'd have 10+ defences. What matters is who has the better wins.

Also he lost to all three of those guys in his prime. Just because you lose to better fighters dont mean you're out of your prime all of a sudden. he was in his late 20s and early 30s when he lost to these guys.

in before you say, he had an early prime lol... he is still winning fights so clearly he isn't washed like Ferg or Woodley... he just lost to better fighters in his prime, nothing wrong with that.

Hilarious take.

You're comparing wins and leave more than half of Aldo's wins off the list.

Hell, Mike Brown was the consensus #1 FW in the world when Aldo beat him. But you don't know who he was so I guess it doesn't count.
Truth is before the merger no major mma promotion was running a FLW, BW, FW division. The vast majority of the top ranked fighters in the world were fighting in the WEC. This promotion was considered the top of the mountain for anyone under 155.

If you only know the last 4 years of mma history, don't make a list of notable wins for a guy that's been fighting for 15 years.

who has Mike Brown beaten? Faber? i dont care if was number 1 FW in the world, it only shows the division wasnt that deep, Megan anderson was also number 1 when Amanda Nunes beat her, so we gon Hype that win aswel?

becasue he is, who has he beaten? just because he's famous dont mean he's an elite win, Masvidal also a famous guy, should we put him in Usmans great wins when comparing his resume against GSP?

I get the feeling you missed that whole era?

If so, that's not your fault and I'm not being condescending as clearly not everyone has followed MMA since 2001 or whatever, but you can take it from the old timers that Faber is an elite fighter.

A WEC Featherweight with 5 successful defences pretty makes him Mr WEC, and don't be mistaken, WEC became the UFC lighter weight classes, so the fact he'd timed out a little bit by the time UFC bought the promotion is null and void as an excuse for overlooking him.

Dude's resume is outstanding, and he has tapped some of the best grapplers on the planet, as well as some of the biggest names.

I wasn't a fan of him getting the 'infinite title shots' treatment some guys get, but they were just so desperate to attach his name to the UFC roll call.
 
If Aldo is a master grappler and master striker why is Michael Chandler fighting McGregor and not Aldo.

Aldo won WEC belt over Mike Brown, who in 5 UFC fights, lost 3, and won 2 decisions, where he threw 38, and then 60 punches.

Then Aldo won fights vs Faber and Gamburyan in WEC.

Mike Brown also beat Faber in WEC. Of 18 UFC fights, Faber lost 7.

Gamburyan, the last person Aldo beat in title fights at WEC. Got 4 wins and 5 losses and 1 overturned decision in the UFC.

Also, Aldo doesn't have a single submission win in UFC or WEC.

Mike Brown was also 34 and nearing the end of his MMA career when he signed with the UFC.

But at the same time, he was also one of the batch of the 145lb WEC super-fighters

Not sure what you're trying to say? It's pretty common for elite fighters to start declining around 34 to 36 years old, so this isn't unusual. Are you suggesting the WEC didn't have quality fighters? Benson Henderson and Anthony Pettis both became lightweight champs. Dustin Poirier, Dominick Cruz and Demetrious Johnson were in the WEC before joining the UFC too.
 
This kid doesn’t even know the difference between FW, and LW (Alvarez), and WW (Nate). And he thinks those other fights affect one’s GOAT status at FW.

Just a real troll, or failed thread. Brutal..

No, that everyone thinks because the UFC didn't have a 145lb division for a period, that the 145lb fighter's they hired from WEC must automatically be savages like Jon Jones.

I can agree Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit were amazing. But not Faber or Aldo I'm sorry.

Anthony Pettis is one of those champions- that if a guy like McGregor was champion in the division above or below - the UFC would be rushing McGregor to take their belt ASAP like Aldo and Alvarez
 
Conor?

When's the last time Conor fought at 145?

having a win over Eddie is better than beating Edger who is coming to lower weight class for the first time on a two losing streak... and thats literally Aldo's best win lol.
Click to expand...
What about beating Edgar on a five fight winning streak like he did in the rematch?
 
Benson Henderson was a winning fighter when Pettis was champion. The UFC could not risk Aldo fighting Pettis for a 155lb belt, because if Henderson took both belts off Aldo, which was likely, Henderson could have left to Bellator with two UFC belts and humiliated the UFC on a level never seen.
