People calling Aldo washed is annoying. Go look at his record. His most recent lost was to Merab. Before that he was on a three win streak. And his other losses were Max, Volk, Yan, Moraes, and Connor. This will be the last fight on his UFC contract. Show the guy some respect. Win or lose his legacy is still intact.
Him v Dominick Cruz would have been nuts

Based Aldo, still the 5th GOAT. His very arguable win vs Merab (defended every single takedown, landed all the significant strikes and exchanges of the fight compared to Merab winning the total strikes by kneeing the thighs after failing his takedowns) is more impressive every day.

Kinda sad some people have no life so they comment about the killing hope of others. Just fyi Aldo has only lost on points very close to volk and merab and when he fought merab he and Luke rockhold both did well despite the altitude change. He's also beaten chito who got a shot, rob font, Stephan's and many others. Dudes still young too. But hey hater gonna hate
Dom looses that fight all day every day
At least try to pronounce his name right Brett come on Mr ESPN....
What about Aldo vs conor 2, that we the fight to make, stop evading conor.

20 years in the UFC you'd think fans wouldn't be racist or prejudice to make an excuse that a fighter needs to learn English. Because fans are paying to watch people speak not fight? Now UFC has only one or two USA champions. Should the UFC fighters start learning Arabic since they go Dubai often? Or are you just ignorant and hateful?
