A little too much is taken out of him getting KO'd by McGregor so fast, without a fight or anything else to go off, all you remember is the punch. Obviously. He is still a superb martial artist and his striking, his movement, TDD and his BJJ ensure he will be competitive against pretty much anybody he gets into the cage with, he isn't going to be going up against WW's ever. 155 is a more natural weight for him, but he doesn't struggle as much as Conor to make 145, I think he comes up to 155 to fight Conor and probably nobody else. He is angling for the money fight again, he knows it isn't going to happen at 145 more then likely, so in his mind, he defends his 145 belt, Conor returns and defends his 155, if both come through they can have a big money fight toward the end of next year. Can't blame him for playing the game, especially when he was so roundly criticised for not playing the game all his career up to this point, when his stuff gets translated to English things get lost and he is clearly not as comfortable as the likes of McGregor at the smack talk part of the business but a toddler can work out what he is doing.

You really think Aldo would finish Diaz? A man who has finished anyone in 4 years would TKO a guy who is insanely hard to finish or Lightweights or Featherweights? Not likely.

There's a huge difference between that and destroy somebody legs to the point where they can't stand up imo

Lets all agree to put this myth to bed... that approach seems to be a quick night for anyone who storms in, aldo tried it and woke up minutes later, eddie tried and was dropped, and dropped, and dropped and dropped and dropped!!
