    Aldo's been in decline for years, I think Edgar has the edge here.

    I've seen highlights, never watched it in full and I was listening to a couple of friends talking about it earlier. They were prepping me :lol:

    Apparently Aldo was at his best back then but Edgar has come on a lot since the first fight.

    Yeah, that seems the general consensus.

    I think Edgar did well against Aldo when he was at the top of his game the first time out, since then Edgar has only gotten better and more adapted to the weight class, where as for Aldo he lost his invincibility in 13 seconds. With that said, Edgar might look to test Aldo's confidence a bit here and see what's left in the tank. With that said I favor Edgar, he's too quick on his feet and his confidence is at an all time high! I see a 2nd round stoppage for Edgar!:deal

    Good fight, started to fire up in the last 30 seconds. Aldo looks like he has gotten over that 13 second demolition.

    Very evenly fought round. Edgar was doing good until the end.

    1-0 Aldo

    For all his experience and talent I think emotions got the better of him against McGregor, he really wanted to mess McGregor up came steaming out and got caught.

    I have a feeling here Aldo is setting a trap, Edgar keep trying to close the gap with little charges and Aldo is just slipping out of range but sooner or later I think Aldo is going to hold his ground and bring a knee up through the middle or even an uppercut and walk Edgar on to it.
