I completely switched to Aldo after hearing it was in Rio De Janeiro..
I think Max Holloway will have a very hard time winning, basically has to dominate Aldo in Brazil to win.
the old "brazilian judges" random argument hahah
Dont listen to anything I say

If any of you are interested in betting the Aldo vs. Holloway fight, I'll take Holloway.
My terms:
• $50
• You take Aldo, I take Holloway
• Even odds (+100/+100) with a twist: I give you +100 on Aldo, but if Holloway loses by split-decision, our bet is a push/cancelled. All other methods of victory will be normal/standard
• Money sent via PayPal
• I'm only making 1 bet, and the person who accepts my bet needs to be a LP.net regular, not a new person
The thing about Aldo is that his style is just perfect for facing wrestlers/grapplers.
Also he is usually the bigger guy in the cage, giving him the ability to control the fight with his jab/leg kicks. Combine that with his insane takedown defence and athleticism he is just a nightmare for this stocky short wrestlers that he has made a career of beating up.
Everytime he has faced a striking based opponent though he has looked less than stellar. He was getting outboxed in many exchanges by Hominick , had to resort to his takedowns against Korean Zombie and even then looked bad in this fight before Zombie disclocated his shoulder and then He got KO'd stiff by Conor in 13 seconds.
Holloway has been on a really impressive run and has been improving constantly every fight. In his last fights he has looked like a killer against some tough opposition. But even that aside he is just a terrible match up for Aldo, just like Mcgregor is. Tall, rangy and diverse striker with decent ground game. I see him overhelming Aldo with his pressure and volume at some point and putting a beating on him en route to decision or late stoppage.

Didn't Aldo break something in the KZ fight? IIRC he turned into wrestler-Aldo because of a broken hand or something like that...?
Hominick fight was so long ago but only part I remember him doing poorly was in the last round (even though Hominick's face looked like he'd been stung by the worlds biggest bee at that point as far as I can remember). Wasn't he quite sick for that fight as well?
Don't mean to be making excuses because I don't necessarily disagree with your overall point, just some details.
guess aldo will get smashed if its the same aldo pre mcgregor post wec
but he looked better in his last frankie edgar fight, maybe he got extra motivation after mcgregor trauma
can see the fight going either way, its a hard one to predict. hope aldo looks sharp and wins. if he wins there is literally nothing left for him at fw, he would have to move up or just make superfights.
im a regular at nl5

It was Korean Zombie who dislocated his shoulder when throwing a punch, which allowed Aldo to get the finish once he saw KZ holding his own arm.
Aside from the KZ injury, Aldo hasn't won ITD since nearly 5.5 years ago, and only one true finish in the last 6.5 years (against Chad Mendes). Even the Mendes finish was interesting, as there was like 10 seconds left in the round and he turned around real fast and ran into a knee. Most guys back up and separate themselves nowadays when they're in the same spot Mendes was in.
