I recall someone mentioning he has back problems after a motorcycle wreck. I dont know how much truth is in that but it made sense in the discussion.I never understood why Aldo stopped trying to take down strikers like he used to.

I think its Conor since Aldo plays directly into Conor's strengthsAldo got too agressive at times and gassed himself out.
Holloway is the worst match up for Aldo.
Possibly, a rematch would have answered a lot of questions.I think its Conor since Aldo plays directly into Conor's strengths
Saying Frankie isn't tall enough to do well on the ground against Max is a moronic statement.
Conor's retired so...Possibly, a rematch would have answered a lot of questions.
Do you think Edgar will do better on the feet against Max than Aldo did? I do. I think that even if he can't secure a takedown, max will respect the threat and be thrown off by Frankie's takedown feints.
Bonus pic--the size difference is real. I wish Frankie went to 135lbs after UFC 200, but Frankie gonna Frankie.
It isn't at all. Being taller in grappling exchanges provides just as many benefits as it would standing. Have you ever tried shooting in on someone taller than you compared to someone who is shorter than you? That's not to mention the advantages that he already has from being larger or heavier in general. And keep in mind he doesn't have to be a better grappler than Frankie to do well. He just has to keep him off, which requires considerably less skill. This is the comment someone would make or like if they've never grappled in their life.
Frankie can't hang on the feet with Max, he needs to get this to ground. Aldo has much better stand up than Frankie. i give frankie about a 10% chance here. Other 90% he loses a 50 - 45 maybe 49 - 46 decision.
Defensively, probably. Offensively? Doubtful
You realize that frankie spent a lot of his career outgrappling elite BJJ guys and good wrestlers, the majority of whom were taller and bigger than frankie, right?
