I’ll start off by saying I’m not a big Aldo fan but he really got a good argument for surpassing gsp and being the goat if he beat Jeremy Stephens.i current have Aldo at second in my goat list.the first is gsp but it might change if Aldo beat Stephen,so let’s analyze Aldo legacy a little bit.
9 title defense
Unbeaten for 10 years
4 losses
Top wins : Edgar2x, Mendes 2x, Korean zombie,Faber,lamas,Florian, Hominick,Swanson,mike brown
That’s an insane resume. I would say it’s good as or close to gsp resume before he beat Bisping but it’s definitely better than fedor resume
Now if he beat Jeremy stephen then you can argue he’s greater than gsp because you can say a win over Jeremy Stephen at this time stage better than a win over Bisping.sure Bisping is greater or got way better resume but Jeremy Stephen is a better fighter and way more dangerous bisping.Stephen is like hendo if hendo is technical and got ko power on both hand,feet and toe.
But gsp got only 2 losses and avenge both of them so he still got that case over Aldo.
So it’s really depends on if a win over a better fighter is better or a win over a greater fighter is better.
