I don't love the reason it's happening, but I love the fight; I'll content myself with that.

Edgar is too much for a shop-worn post USADA Aldo who cuts tremendous amount of weight for fight

I would like Edgar to win but have a feeling he will lose a close decision.

I don't know how many contender fights Edgar needs to win seriously he is on like his 5th or 6th win in a row and his last loss was by a very close decision. Because apparently Diaz and Mcgregor need to have a rematch for a fight that was scheduled last minute to begin with.

Edgar is worlds better as a striker than Aldo, but I think the first round will be edging out a lot of leg kicks from a DEFINITELY more cautious Jose than last time.

Aldo can be more cautious than he was in their first fight?

I personally thought Edgar won the last 3 rounds of the first fight,but i was emotional and didn't watch like a judge. Edgar has looked amazing and improved,im really not sure where aldo is,guy never fights and we can't really judge him off his last performance, except that it was a negative. I think Edgar wins,but I really don't know. I do think Edgar will be added to the very short list of two division champs though.

The UFC hopes Edgar loses as he would beat McGregor and take the 145 belt.

@Kuma  i just watched the first edger aldo fight and the last 3 were closer but i gave edger the 4th but the 5th aldo landed better shots and the fight metrics were very close.  the 5th round ended with aldo pushing off the fence superman punch nailing edger.  i was hesitate on who i was picking until i watched the fight again.  edger was just landing point punches and lite leg kicks so i have to take aldo but anything can happen

Love me some aldo, but frankie has more momentum and is the less appealing option for conor so that's what I'm hoping for.

tough fight to call

Prediction: correct Aldo   correct Decision  

hate to go against edgar here but I think aldo is the better fighter. This will be a close fight and I don't doubt edgar will come out strong but coming off a knockout loss I will take a motivated aldo any day.

Prediction: correct Aldo   correct Decision  

I laugh at people thinking Edgar outstrikes Aldo. Jose won the first fight with almost nothing but striking. He has the speed and power advantage. Frankie is phenomenal, but he did get dropped by Gray Maynard twice; granted 4 years ago. Also finishes those knockdowns. The Mendes KO gives Frankie fans false confidence. Aldo KO'ed Mendes in Rd. 1 Also. 

Furthermore, if Aldo sticks to his greatest strength, which are his leg kicks, he should damage Frankie pretty badly by round 2 or 3 and coast as Aldo has been known for. I believe Aldo's on a mission.

P.S. I'm a Frankie Edgar fan.

I think people are banking that Aldo is different after his KO loss.

Prediction: wrong Edgar   wrong Decision  

I thought Edgar could have gotten the last 3 rounds vs Aldo,it's not like Aldo dominated him like some like to say. Edgar seems very improved,and who knows how good Aldo is right now,he never fricken fights. His last handful of fights to me do seem like he's lost something, i think injuries have possibly been the problem,and possibly stricter testing. 

Either way I don't put much stock into Aldo's ko loss,I just think Edgar has looked phenomenal lately,has tons of momentum while there's just too many questions about Aldo. I'm picking Edgar for sure based on that stuff,but I really don't have any strong opinion on how the fight goes down. 

Personally though, I don't think s lot of people that really know how to pick fights are banking on Aldo being different after the ko loss, I think people just see an improved Edgar who's on a roll and a constantly injured Aldo,with a handful of other things to consider that play a small role like testing and like the ko loss.
