i dont think ken flo has a belt coming in his life...not mean just honest...he'll probably move down 135 after losing to aldo...mendes? maybe...but if he cant takedown aldo, which is VERY tough, its over imo....who else?

Hioki, Koch, Nunes, Mendes, KenFlo, and if I'm lucky, one day Nam Phan :)

I could watch Hominick and Aldo go at it on every single card! Extremely entertaining  fight!

Ya, Hominick really had me on the edge of my seat that round. I almost thought he was going to pull out the stoppage.

I think Mendes will beat him. He's a better wrestler then Brown and Faber.

If he doesn't I think Koch is a huge threat.

Koch is definitely a huge threat to anyone in the FW division!

i think mendes IS a better wrestler, but i dont think he's good enough to take  aldo down....aldo's tdd is awesome, especially with his striking ability

Frankie edgar. this fight will happen after Maynard claims the lw belt, Frankie will move down to 145, makes sooo much sense. Besides, lw division is stacked. Edgar's the only one to pose a legit threat to Aldo imo.

"Grrr."

I think he dispatches Kenny easily.  He has to watch for Poirer imo.

I think a stong wrestler like Mendes or if Porier continues to improve his TD's he could one day. But for right now, the only guy I can see giving Aldo problems is Mendes.

Aldo's biggest threat and the only one who would beat him NOW, happens to be the champ of 155. He is The Answer to this thread.

Maybe someone at 170? The size difference would be huge!
