No. Aldo is definitely not along the goats (Fedor, GSP, Silva).
Conor is a better striker based on his flawless performances, while Aldo takes a lot of punishment from guys who have limited standup skills (Mendez and esp. Lamas).
I think everybody agrees that Aldo is far more proven than Conor, and that's what you are basically trying to say, but proven doesn't mean better in any way.
According to your logic, underdogs will never win fights. And I don't think that McGregor will be that big of an underdog. In fact I will not be surprised if the odds are equal (given that Conor finish Siver in the first).
Aldo was among the GOATs right up until people found someone they wanted to beat him.
