I agree Aldo is very good. I just don't think he's on the Jones/Anderson/GSP level of dominance that would say top 3 p4p (If Weidman wins the rematch i'll reconsider Anderson's current status there) I just don't think he beat Edgar, think Edgar had an off night even in the close fight AND think he cheated to beat Mendes who hadn't had the benefit he's had now of improving his striking with Bang Ludwig - the TAM guys are much better strikers now than at the time of that fight and he showed vs Florian and Hominick that he's vulnerable to guys that aren't actually that amazing. I don't expect Jung to win but he's +640 now there are worse underdog bets to make imo
I think everyone in the world agrees Edgar won round 4. Therefore the myriad 49-46 scores out there lead me to believe most scored Round 5 for Aldo.
Evidence.
This Edgar had an off night **** is a joke. He looked fine. He was simply up against a better fighter.
Florian and Hominick didn't show ****, they got dominated except for Hominick taking the last round after Aldo won 4 straight including a 10-8, knowing he was safely far ahead on the scorecards.
It's sad that you won't recognize how good Aldo is, I would figure as an MMA fan you could appreciate him but I guess not.
Also, if Aldo loses, I figure there's a decent chance it's because Jung subbed him. Guy is one of the slickest grapplers in MMA, bar none.
