It will bring tears of joy to my eyes to see Frankie get knocked the **** out in Brazil, and watch Aldo run into the crowd again.....If Benson could literally drop with a few kicks, Aldo is gonna Faber his ass

WAR ALDO!!!!

No idea as to why I got a down thumb but I greatly look forward to seeing Frankie Edgar take that belt in Brazil!

No offense to Koch, but I wasn't excited to see him fight Aldo at all.  This fight will be awesome.

This is gonna be a sick fight...and I love both guys. I see Aldo winning a decision though. Bendo's leg kicks were effective and Jose has the best in the biz...also Aldo's power is miles ahead of Frankie. For Frank to win...he needs to do what he does...stick and move and throw in some takedowns.

I predict a Decision or late TKO for Aldo. Can't wait though...definitely his biggest test yet!

Convenience much?

With the string of injuries in the UFC, sometimes my spidey sense goes off when fights like this are made. For years, Dana has been urging Frankie to consider Featherweight, and not less than a week after it's officially announced, Koch gets injured and sure enough, look who his replacement is. Granted on paper, Edgar vs. Aldo is a better draw, but it still irks me. And then we have our recent debacle in the Light Heavyweight division. Chael Sonnen is apparently moving up to LHW to fight Forrest, and oddly enough starts a Twitter war with Jon Jones. Then Dan Henderson gets injured, and look who steps up to challenge Bones. But the UFC 151 debate is an entirely different subject. I for one don't think the ENTIRE card needed to be scrapped, but whatever. I do wonder why maybe Gustafsson didn't get offered the fight. Let's not forget, that is how Bones got his title shot at UFC 128. Rashad Evans couldn't fight Shogun, and some thought maybe Jones didn't merit the opportunity quite yet. It alsi makes we wonder if Koch will ever surface again in the title hunt at FW.
