Will never see Jose Aldo under -200 at FW again unless Frankie beats him/they rematch

[SPX]

Hmm, I see. So Edgar just steps right into a title shot.

Well . . . should be interesting.

[poopoo333]

No thoughts on Aldo being -175?

[SPX]

I'm not touching it.

[Mr. IWS]

I like Aldo at those odds.

[SPX]

I think it's hard to know what's going to happen here.

I mean, for whoever is picking Aldo, does that mean you think he could've moved up and taken the LW title any time he wanted to?

I wouldnt say that. I just think that its probably going to be a kick boxing match, and I give Aldo the edge there.

[SPX]

I think that if Aldo can find him then he'll win. But if Edgar can do his little dance around and float in and out thing, then he can certainly take it.

[MMA_scientist]

Edgar is not as fast as Aldo IMO. I think if Edgar wins, it is with his wrestling. FWIW, I do think Aldo could have taken the LW title at any time. I think Edgar can win, but the line is just about right.

Ben Henderson found him plenty with leg kicks and body kicks in the two fights they had. Aldo is much faster than Bendo.

UFC 153 Opening Odds: Demian Maia (-125) vs Rick Story (-105)

Hopefully that line holds. Maia should be able to take Story down.

Edgar via rasslin.

Edgar via rasslin.

Worked for Faber, Brown, and Mendes...

[zY|]

You're right, he'll never be beaten.

[Ludo]

You're right, he'll never be beaten.

Not via wrestling by someone smaller than he is at this point anyway.

[SPX]

I actually think this is the fight that's going to show us how good Edgar REALLY is and it will also tell us a lot about the 145 division.

Yeah, it's not like he had any problems against wrestling legends like Mark HOMOnick.

But dude, Aldo was sick from cutting weight!!!

[SPX]

Well neither Faber, nor Florian, nor Mendes had any luck getting Aldo down so I do think it's a legit point that he has A+ level takedown defense.
