He's the most accomplished for sure, but Max is a better fighter. Max hasn't even reached his prime yet and finished Aldo twice. He's getting better with every fight. He didn't just defeat Aldo once. He finished him twice. Not because his style. It's because he's just better. If Aldo was better he would have found a way to win the rematch. The Conor loss was obviously just getting caught.How is he not the greatest. Just because you beat a guy doesn't mean you are an overall better fighter than him since styles make fights and Max or Conor are now the greatest. Max has a huge task of defending before he has a better resume than Aldo or accomplishes half as much. I don't view Bigfoot or Henderson better fighters than Fedor. I've watched combat sports since I was a kid starting with boxing. All it takes is a year at the very top to lose that step that once made you champion even if it was just a fraction. All the wars Aldo and Edgar have been in and with my own eyes their time is done. A new era doesn't automatically mean those fighters are going to be better than the fighters who only come around once a great while and Aldo was that sort of champ.
