I don't think Aldo has ever been in danger, in any fight in Zuffa.

That in itself, to me, solidifies a top position in the P4P talk. I still can't believe people would take Aldo out because of his recent bouts.

I just don't think he's been doing well with these cuts of late. His body is obviously still maturing and the muscle keeps coming.

I honestly think we'd see more explosive Aldo, more classic Aldo at 55.

I don't think there's anything more to be proven at 45 anyway if he beats Mendes. Japanese guy is a worthless matchup.

I think Mendes is the perfect test for Aldo to move up. A powerful wrestler who's main goal is to take a nap on you.
