Really? I have a hard time thinking about the pound-for-pound rankings and (in terms of performance) not calling Aldo one of the top three. Seriously.That's a good point. Aldo is firmly in my #5 spot.
He hasn't defended the belt but he's beaten almost everyone who would be a challenger to it already and in devastating fashion too. He did to Mike Brown what a lot of us didn't think was possible and he made him look like a child in the process. I expect him to do the exact same to Faber. He DESTROYED Cub Swanson who's actually a very, very good fighter (albeit inconsistent). I really don't see anyone in the WECs FW division that's even remotely a threat to him... we'll see though. Like I said, right now he's #5, if he defends his belt against Faber in the same way he worked his way to it I'll have him at #4 easy.Fedor is #5!
and you can't put Aldo into the top 5. He hasn't even defended his belt yet.
I don't have lyoto top 5 P4P anymore post-shogun. If he comes back and wrecks Rua in convincing fashion then maybe, but as of right now Aldo is firmly above him, IMO.That's true Tra, he looked very dominant in his fights. But who would you remove in order to get Aldo into that list??
Fedor? or even Lyoto??
Ok Tra you probably know what's coming now, so fasten your seatbelts my friendI don't have lyoto top 5 P4P anymore post-shogun. If he comes back and wrecks Rua in convincing fashion then maybe, but as of right now Aldo is firmly above him, IMO.
I agree and disagree.Ok Tra you probably know what's coming now, so fasten your seatbelts my friend
Sooo basically you remove a guy who cleaned out a division 3 times with a record of 16:0??? A guy who ran playing through one of the strongest (if not the strongest devision in the MMA World today) with zero resistance and totally domination against his opponents until his last fight?!? Nobody came even close at beating him, in fact he didn't even lost a single round until his last fight in the UFC!!!
You remove a fighter who fought TOP COMPETITON throughout his entire career without being even close in serious trouble until recently?? And you keep a guy named Fedor who keep's fighting cans at Showtime?? A guy who refuses to fight the best HW's in the World but in order you remove a guy who doesn't pass any top names???
And you even say, even if he beats Shogun in convincing fashion you still only give him a maybe?? Are you out of your...?? In fact, if he beats Shogun in convincing fashion, he should be known as top 3 p4p!!! Everybody has a bad day ones, but that doesn't change the fact, that his last bout was very equalised and that in fact Lyoto's victory wasn't a robbery?!
Seriously everybody who removes Lyoto from the top 5 p4p just because of a close decision... VICTORY ...is out of there mind!!!
