Really, How come?
It was very similar to all the fights you mentioned, back and forth action the whole time and like all those fights (minus Aldo vs Mendez 2) it basically came down to who wanted it more and was willing to step it up and gut it out in the 5th to secure the win.
How can you possibly use those fights as your barometer and say you couldn't put this fight in the same class?
I loved this fight and it will definitely go down as an instant classic, not the greatest IMO but obviously that is subjective to each person.
