No doubt about Aldo being in the P4P discussion. He hasn't done anything that warrants him being excluded from that conversation. I think those who jumped off the bandwagon will hop back on if he has a solid performance against Mendes.

As far as Hioki goes, he has to show me A LOT more than what he did on Saturday to make me think he's worth the time to face Aldo. That was my first time seeing him fight, but I wasn't impressed in the least bit.

I'm over here reading about how Aldo has struggled with the cut on several occasions. 155 becomes even more stacked if he plans on moving up soon. If the added weight improves his perfomance it's going to be very entertaining to watch.
