What do you guys think about this fight? I think this is a great fight to really see Aldo fight and be exposed. I think the way these two guys kick will be interesting.
Depending on how the next fights go and the way the news has been with Aldo talking about moving up. This is a possible fall 2013 fight.
I think it will be similar to Aldo vs Mendes. Aldo, imo, is miles ahead in stand up, so Bendo tries taking him down and cops a few knees to the face.
However, Bendo is much bigger than Mendes and Aldo, so may have some success taking him down and pounding Aldo to bolivian.
Sippy Cuppy - Bendo would take him down a grind a win
legit lol @ 221 vote downs in one month.
The key to beating Aldo is out there
Take him down in the open so he can't grab the fence. Stay on top and keep constant pressure. Tire him out and he's vulnerable.
Now someone just needs to execute this, and I think Edgar is the man
I know aldo had thought about it when Edgar was champ. Since he was a smaller 155 pounder. We are now in the age of these bigger 155 pound fighters. The way weight classes are looking is changing. Meaning guys who used to look like they fought 170 fight 155 and same for 55 to 45, 85 to 70 etc

Very well put.

BJ didn't get the memo apparently
Aldo can hold the Featherweight and lightweight titles.
If bendo could get dropped repeatedly by Edgar then can get finished by Aldo.
We may also see Aldos much hyped BJJ
Aldo is way better, and that isn't a knock on Benson. It would depend on if Benson could use his size and pace to wear Aldo down before getting knocked or his legs rendered useless by Aldo's kicks.
I'd like to see his BJJ defense or even offense for that matter. Heard its spectacular. He seriously faded in the Hominick fight. There's no excuse for how bad he was dominated in the 3rd round.
