Aldo was a bad matchup for Florian because he was technically better at striking and BJJ. Edgar's skill set of side to side and in and out movement isn't something that we've seen Also deal with, particularly late in the fight when he gets tired. Also, Edgar sets up his takedowns much better than guys like Faber as seen in Edgar taking guys like Penn and Maynard down. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get Aldo to the ground.

That'll be a really, really great fight. I hope he gets the shot after only one fight at 145.
