Dude, chill.

I'm not saying he can't beat him, but 10 out of 10 times? The guy's overshot the thin line between confident and dumb by a million miles.

Cub Swanson will never beat Aldo

he is #2 in featherweight AT BEST. Drop to 135 or enjoy your career as the Rich Franklin of featherweight.

@CONDIT729, man, I wish you were right, but the truth of the matter is that KZ manages to get into trouble in almost all of his fights (with the exception of the Hominick fight) and manages to Zombie his way out (he was getting peppered by Poirier for a round too), and if that happens against Aldo it's lights out.

I love KZ, and I do think he has the slightest of chances to beat Aldo, but the realist in me says he's not the one ... If anyone, it'd probably be Edgar.

But hey, I'll drink to wishful thinking any day of the week. Bottoms up :)

@CONDIT729, I added that in the Poirier fight he was getting peppered for a round (as opposed to my "in trouble" statement that was meant for the rest of the fights).

I stand by what I said, if he has a round like his 3rd in the Poirier fight against Aldo, he's not coming out of it.

My main issue is that at this stage of his career he always takes some damage, a fact that lowers his chances against Aldo, because Aldo doesn't inflict damage, he K's you TFO.

I still think/wish/pray to Odin and Thor that Zombie can beat him (heck, if Hominick took him to 5, who knows -- I know, I know, tough weight cut, yada yada yada), I'm just saying that if he gets clocked he'll lose, he won't be able to Zombie himself out of Aldo punishment.
