So who do you guys think should be fead to Aldo next? I would love to see edgar fight him, but i can see why he doesnt want to move down yet. Hioki could be an interesting fight but he said he isnt ready. I guess its gotta be the winner of that korian zombie fight.

im tottaly with you there man. Idk why Hioki would turn down a title fight. Isnt that why you fight? To be the best? doesnt make sense to me.

@Soccerkick The problem with Aldo in the last few fights is that he's had injuries (the back/neck injury 3 days before Grispi fight set him back many months) Also Grispi lost making them put Hominick (not even top 10 at the time) as a contender. Hominick was a brutal fight for Aldo (weight cutting/got sick/general injuries sustained during training and the fight).
Aldo did fight only 3 months after Florian, so hopefully that is a good omen for the future.

I'd love to see Aldo fight Dominick Cruz. That'd be some great standup

Hioki turning down a title fight when he knows his skills, as good as they are, aren't up to par with he champ's isn't a bad move imo. Hell I might even call it one of the smartest moves I've seen in MMA as of recently. Why go into a fight as just a filler when you're on the cusp of honing all your skills to their best when it'll be smarter to take a more evenly matched fight to better assess where you are?
And I see Jose on the bench atleast until after the Diamond/zombie fight.

I hate seeing Aldo sit, as he is my 2nd favorite fighter, but if Edgar's not gonna move down, I think Aldo's gonna be forced to move up to 155. Chad Mendes is the only guy I've heard say he wants to fight Aldo, and, well.....that didn't out too well for him. Aldo can't get fights at 145 because everybody that has reached a contendership status won't fight him. Maybe the fighters at 155 will want to try to make a name for themselves as the guy to beat Aldo, and use that as a ploy to get a title shot.

Frankie is scared to drop down and fight in his natural weightclass. Still butthurt about getting dominated by Benson.

There is nothing left for Cruz at 135 after he beats Faber again. Cruz has expressed a lot of interest in moving to 145 and fighting Aldo. I think that would be a fight that would be great to watch and it would be a good challenge for Aldo.

Aldo is my favorite fighter.. in my opinion i think aldo cleared out the 145 division already.. he should move to 155 and challenge a top contender or challenge for the title.. i think he has the skill set and KO power to make it at 155. after all aldo did train with gray maynard. so aldo has a little taste of what is at 155. but yeah it most likely will be zombie or poirier.

Aldo will not be beat by any Featherweight. He is too talented, I'd like to see him move up to 155.

Hioki is the only fight that makes sense right now. He is the consensus number 2 featherweight in the world and he needs to be tested. Aldo will destroy him though.

@ live2 yes, i agree but you don't get a title shot every week so i
understand that Hioki wants to fight one more time in the octagon to
test himself. the fact that aldo is a god damn killer dosen't help
either.

I thought they were gonna give it to the winner of Jung Vs Poirier... I suppose Frankie is staying at LW for his rematch?
Hioki is so god damn good, what a pleasure to watch.

I don't think it matters who, when, or where Aldo fights, his opponent is going to lose. I just wish he'd get another defense in soon. No point in sitting since he took essentially no damage in the Mendes fight. Aldo/Hioki in May? I would love to see that. 3 months later the winner of Poirier/Jung? Sounds like a good plan.
