Poor Chito. He ran into that takedown in the third round.

Aldo hung tough with Yan for the early part of that fight. He's got plenty in the tank, IMO.

Aldo is a top 10 all time fighter IMO. 
SO happy to see him get the win, especially after that beating from Yan(close fight until the end)
I love me some Chito too but I think he is always going to be a a great action fighter in the top 15, never the top 5

Yea, looks like he does, Erison. That said, when that body or chin goes, it usually crashes hard and fast..often without warning. 

That’s what’s so damn crazy about Arlovski. The guys been getting brutally KOd since literally his first fight. The fact he’s his agar, back in UFC and better at not getting KOd is insane. Testimony to his work effort and improved fight IQ defensively.

@Mikey I still think Aldo is the best Feather Weight of all time, despite his fall from grace. Yea, Max worked him twice but his reign was unmatched, IMO.

Arlovski boggles my mind. Dude's chin abandoned him 12 years ago. But suddenly he looks okay?

It didn’t really abandon him. He never really had one. He got brutalized his first MMA fight. Realistically it’s hard for a HW to have a superb chin. Rare you see a HW MMA fighter at any level without any KO losses when they’ve been around a while. But yea, it’s unbelievable. Yea he’s better at protecting it but still.

Wonderboy is just too nice man. He had a few opportunities to KO Neal and instead high fives him and asks, “Are you good?”
