If Aldo did go to LW I think he would be top 10 easily but not top 5.

But if you think about it for a bit, that someone is a guy who didn't cut weight for 155 (therefore better suited to fight at 145), and the whole "ruled" part was more didn't lose to Maynard because he couldn't finish him (which I attribute more to Maynard's lack of killer instinct than Frankie's "rule") and lost to Henderson because he was too big for him and not because Bendo was the better fighter (this isn't a knock on Frankie, just on his legitimacy as an indication for a move to 155, because Frankie did show, that you can have all the heart and skill in the world, but if you're THAT undersized you will eventually get beat and not necessarily by a better fighter).
Not saying if he should or shouldn't move, just saying that the Edgar fight shouldn't be his only indication.
If he totally demolishes Frankie ... well that's another story all together ...

Eddie Alvarez is talking with the UFC. He just might come over.
Strkieforce will fold after its final, farewell event on January 12. Freeing up Gilbert Melendez to come on over.
Diego Sanchez is talking to Gomi about a fight. So Diego is now LW.
BJ Penn will have a tough fight this coming December 8 with Rory MacDonald. We are all rooting for BJ to return to LW, win or lose.
Now, Jose Aldo is considering a possible move to LW, if he beats Frankie Edgar. But I will go out on a limb and say that Frankie will be an extremely tough fight for Jose. Frankie has the speed, stamina and tenacity to give Jose the fight of his life. If Frankie was smart enough to stay OUT of the pocket against BJ Penn, he will be too smart to stand and bang with Jose. He will use his patented hit and run, bob and weave, stick and jab guerilla warfare style of flurry and get out tactics.
Jose had better be ready because Frankie will be for real. He's no joke and the W for Jose will be extremely hard-won and will probably go to a decision. Maybe a split decision. I'm going with Aldo to win the fight but it will be the fight of his life.
The UFC LW Shark Tank just keeps getting more and more Great Whites.
