    Is the Aldo vs Stephens fight a three or five rounder?

    Be interesting to see if Aldo gets his old offensive aggressiveness back, since he doesn't have to coast for a five rounder.

    Ion Cutelaba would do a number on that pretender Anthony Smith.

    Aldo needs to stay tight. Otherwise Stephens probably finishes him.

    I'm not familiar with Stephens. He better than guys like Mendes and Edgar? Is he taller than Aldo?

    You're not familiar with him? He's been around forever. He's limited but has a good chin and power in both hands. a very tough task for this version of Aldo who might not be the same after two beatings. I very tentatively lean towards Aldo but it's hard to shake the feeling of a Stephens KO.

    That seems to be the overall view of this fight, and of Aldo in general after getting battered twice by Max Holloway. I do think Stephens catches Aldo and KO's him. That said, it's pretty much a 50-50 fight because nobody is absolutely certain how much being on the receiving end of those two beatings has taken out of Aldo both physically and mentally.
