If you replaced Aldo's name with Penn's name in this thread it would be exactly like the discussion thread for Penn/Edgar 1...... Point is Frankie feeds off of everyone doubting him so keep it up!

Prediction: Aldo  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 2

For those wondering, I actually had Frankie predicted to win his last fight, so I don't have anything against him, but Aldo is just a beast onto himself. If it was anyone else at 145 other than maybe KZ, Frankie would have 0 problems, but Aldo's muay thai is just so goddamn good I have no clue how Frankie can handle it.

Frankie wont make it past the 2nd round. His sissy style of point fighting wont work on Aldo. Also, his legs will take a beating

If Frankie has a sissy point style fighting 
than Tank Abbott has strategic stand up punching

Naw, Gray was too stupid trying to headhunt, he could have finished Edgar in the first round of their second fight, and we wouldnt be having this little talk. Edgar fights like a sissy, and im glad he will NEVER hold UFC gold again...also im glad my boy Bendo beat him TWICE!!!

I am also glad Bendo beat him twice but saying Edgar is a point fighter is just ridiculous.

Prediction: Aldo  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 2

I think the way Frankie fights lends to him not being able to finish, like we see with Dominick Cruz. As he is almost always moving around he never can get full force behind his punches. He wants to finish, but since he can't get that power behind his punches he almost never gets close to finishing  an opponent. Has he ever gotten close to finishing(giving them stanky leg i mean) an opponent outside of Maynard/Edgar 3?

Sad thing is that he has the skills to be a monster, but he wants to fight like a pixie. If he put forth any effort, he could have more finishes, but you would think he trains at Jackson's MMA by the way he point fights.

OMG I just realized Edgar fights using the Guida gameplan (Clay vs Gray) but he actually executes it.In and out with footwork all over the place.Not saying he's a point fighter but I just thought of that.

I have that attitude almost all the time, but im not using it here. Im giving my opinion, and if people dont agree with it, thats fine. I wont lose any sleep over it.

Prediction: Aldo  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 1

Call me crazy but I actually had Koch picked to beat Aldo, if not for one of the most blatant fence holds in UFC history Chad Mendes wouldn't have lost that fight in the first round. I'll probably be picking Aldo in this one based on his sick striking and the fact that Frankie's having to make 145 for the first time, shouldnt be an issue, but never know.

Edgar may not deserve the shot, but still better than Aldo vs. Koch lol

Prediction: Aldo  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 1

Edgar's not a point fighter. He's a very fast man with exceptional footwork that likes to get in and get out with his striking. A lot of his victories do go to decision, but I think that has a lot more to do with the fact that he's been fighting at his natural weight of 155 against guys who are walking around 30 or 40 pounds heavier than him that cut weight. His power should start to shine at 145 if he makes the seemingly easy 10 pound cut without complication.
