Aldo's destruction of Gamburyan was expected, I mean Gamburyan isn't an elite FW..Omigawa, Warren, Sandro and Bibiano are the FWs to beat not some guy in WEC
Tell them to get their asses in WEC then.
The onus is on Zuffa to sign these fighters to fight him, not for him to break his contract to go fight these guys to appease threestars35 on the mma.tv internet forum
Grispi!
first off Sandro is out of the question, both Nova Uniao, its never going to happen
like i said on another thread
its not that he NEEDS to be fighting Omigawa, Hioki, Bibiano, Warren to prove he's the best
but having a couple of those guys in the WEC would certainly deepen the division
there are still some great fighters left in the WEC FW division:
Josh Grispi
Diego Nunes
Chad Mendes
Javier Vazquez
Mark Hominick
and you can never count Mike Thomas Brown out of the picture
Omigawa: No better than Gamburyan, but would still be a decent fight
Warren: Worse than Gamburyan, would get massacred
Sandro: Training partner, would not fight
Fernandes: Hasn't fought in 7 months with no fight scheduled, has publicly stated DREAM owes him a bunch of money, can't imagine this guy won't end up in the WEC eventually
Its crazy to think that the Omigawa of today is the same guy who looked horrible in the UFC. Granted that was at 155
Warren is good, but he has not proven himself enough for that to be a fight Aldo NEEDS to take. I would love Warren to come to the WEC and beat a contender or two and then fight Aldo. I think he needs a few more fights to round out his skills first. Of course this can't happen right now anyways, but its not like if Warren was a free agent he would deserve an immediate title shot.
Bibiano vs Aldo is a fight I want to see right now. Bibiano is on a tear at the moment and has beaten many of the top in the world. Stylistically it is an awesome match. We would finally get to see Aldo on his back
According to pretty much every mma ranking system Aldo has beaten 3 out of the top 5 ranked featherweights in the world.

bwahahahahah joe warren?
bwahahahahhaahhaha
lol... joe warren... warren got lucky in his last fight
so you think Aldo will be able to stop Warren's takedowns and control him for 25 minutes?
amberlamps -Hi napalmstyle.

The amazing thing about Zuffa is they got the fans to care about there 'business model' and not the fights, as fans you should want to see the best fight the best and demand the best fights, you shouldnt care about the promotions business model and money they make
FW is just extremely splintered right now, even worse than LW. WEC still has the most depth so it makes the most sense for Aldo to stay put.
DREAM has a solid FW division, but outside of Fernandes and Omigawa (whose career has gotten a boost from a few gift decisions) it's really not that interesting and they probably only have 10 guys in the whole division. Takaya has had a resurgence but I can't help but remember him as the guy who went 0-2 against B-level competition in the WEC.
Sengoku used to have a good FW division but without Omigawa it's really just the Sandro and Hioki show. Sandro wouldn't fight Aldo and Hioki would be a heavy, heavy underdog.
Aldo would wreck all of them
faber ws a very legit opponent and a huge win
Stop caring about Zuffa's business model and worry more about the fights, when 'super fights' are not made it is not because of the fighters or the other promotions
It's going to be a dominant wrestler that takes Aldo down.
Maybe Warren although I don't think he's ready yet.
Nobody wants to fight Aldo.....
I can't remember a fighter where the opponent didn't get seriously fucked up....
All were one sided....
smth416 - It's going to be a dominant wrestler that takes Aldo down.Mike Brown (great wrestler who's massive) didn't have shit for Jose....
Maybe Warren although I don't think he's ready yet.
And striking was the last aspect of Aldo's game that he perfected.....he was a bjj ace first and then learned standup.....
mcpeepants232003 -so true., dude even manages to hate on the WEC.liquidrob - The amazing thing about Zuffa is they got the fans to care about there 'business model' and not the fights, as fans you should want to see the best fight the best and demand the best fights, you shouldnt care about the promotions business model and money they make
says the guy who shamelessly nuthugs SF to the death and supports every move they make. Of course you have no problem with Nick Diaz and Gil staying in Sf and fighting lesser fighters than they'd face in the Ufc but when the situation is reversed it's a travesty that us fans aren't demanding Aldo leave the Wec.
Of course you always fail to mention that Warren, Omigawa and Bibi are in one org while Hioki is in another(Sandro shouldn't even be considered because Aldo will never fight him) or the fact that Zuffa has constantly signed the best prospects year after year and nearly always is able to find quality challengers for their opponents.
Still you are obviously right. Aldo should leave the Wec where he's quickly becoming a star to fight for Dream or Sengoku who hold 5 cards a year all for 3 or 4 match ups.
Isn't Patricio Pitbull basically Aldo-lite?
Patricio got pretty screwed over in the Warren decision, people are forgetting about him.
