For anyone picking Aldo of Volk, how do you see him getting it done?
Aldo. He's beaten wrestle-boxers his whole career with wins over prime Chad and Frankie. 3 Rounder + in Brazil. How can anyone confidently take Volk here? I understand passing but I'd want a bigger number to actually bet the dogFor anyone picking Aldo of Volk, how do you see him getting it done?

I got Aldo @-118. But Aldo @-125 is just pure pure pure value. Would cap him @-200ish, Volk had immense trouble with a shot, old Mendes. He really felt the increase of competition quality. Even tho we are not talking about prime Aldo, he’s coming off a great win against top contender Renato Moicano.Aldo.

Aldo did not get injury, he got a small cut on his knee. And because of that got bacterial infection, so just like fever and whatever. This became news because he had to go to the hospital, but 4 days later he was back training. In my view this won’t affect him at all.No doubt he looked great against Frankie, but I would have to say that is a past prime over the hill Frankie. Chad on the other hand that was a close fight through out, not disputing the discsion but Chad gave him a very hard fight.
Of all the fights Aldo has won I would say Chad 2 was his hardest fought victory. Now he is going up against what I see as a younger, less damaged, equally as powerful version of Chad in Volk, and this is after suffering even more damage, a few knock outs, added injuries, age catching up to him and possibly coming into this fight with an on going injury. Even if the injury is healed how much has it effected his camp? Aldo was tired from round two onwards against Holloway. Not say Volk puts on that kind of pace but if he can make Aldo clinch up and wrestle and work non stop he could get him to gas too.
Just to say I'm not disagreeing with you, just saying what I see.

I am on Aldo at -120, it actually got to -110 here briefly but I'm happy. I don't think this version of Volk is better than the Chad/Frankie Aldo already beat and Aldo just beat one of the best in the division. His boxing is good and his TDD is great. Volk is powerful, smart and strong willed but is that enough? I don't think so even though I'd like him to win and face Max on the Sydney card later this year!I got Aldo @-118.

Thats got to have been something lost in translation, no way would he be taking this fight doing just one training session a week.Aldo’s knee injury (bacteria infection) limited him to one practice a week. Hard to see it not having an effect especially since it occurred so recently
Correct, HORRIBLE translation. I’m a Brazilian so I’m going to translate the same interview to English, here’s Aldo’s quote:Thats got to have been something lost in translation, no way would he be taking this fight doing just one training session a week.
By decShe doesn't
I was one of the very few on Volk against Chad. He’s being underrated again imho. Not necessarily going to plant my flag on his side but I’d be wary of dismissing him so easily. He’s of that Hermansson ilk; on a good run and full to the brim with confidence.
You can see the handspeed and power differential in Volkanovski-Mendes, even against a depleted, aged, retiring version of Mendes. Volkanovski's probably gonna run a similar gameplan, but he's a different fighter to the Mendes that entered the ring with Aldo. Most likely Volk tries to pour a ton of volume on Aldo, and either gets his head removed in the first 8 minutes or takes over late. I'm big on fight ends by KO here.No doubt he looked great against Frankie, but I would have to say that is a past prime over the hill Frankie.

Kinda feel like Rose is early finish or bust here. Andrade doesn't stop coming forward, it's in Brazil (which might lead to her edging close rounds) and I don't think Rose has the elite pivoting/distance management abilities of a Joanna. Andrade's gastank is deeper, so I think we see her just ragdolling Rose towards the end. Also don't think Rose has the depth of grappling skill to really trouble Andrade off her back or anything.Only way I see Andrade win is landing takedowns
I just remember thinking that Sergio didn’t look like his usual self. I didn’t think it was the style match up I just remember him looking particularly bad.
There may have been a reason for it I just can’t remember. Don’t know if he had some kind of issue at camp or something
