Merab absolutely wins this fight all day. Can't believe 88% here think Aldo even has a chance..... 
Merab will land more Takedowns that Aldo lands Significant strikes.

Many of yall need to work on your MMA IQ something fierce.

Lmao keep dreaming. Aldo is literally the best anti wrestler in MMA history, only Whittaker comes close. He's never fought a wrestler like Merab, but still, unless his age has caught up to him this an easy day at the office for him

Everyone knows this is Merab only path to victory and we ALL acknowledge it. Some of us just love the legend. Regardless if we know Merab is going to spam singles and doubles and takedowns and clinch work.

@Ag3nt_X I thought you were talking to the guy who picked Rockhold and was wondering why you were getting downvoted, but nah you're a moron lmao.

 If my MMA IQ is single digit low then why is my 3% higher than you? Yours must be nonexistent then

Usyk vs Joshua should be over but there's some other fights like Navarette vs Baez. PFl and BKFC should be over or ending by the time the UFC starts, but yeah I feel like I'm low key in MMA heaven. I'm so overstimulated with PFL, BKFC, boxing, ACA YE, and KSW (ew) that there hasn't been a dull moment all day. Nothing overly stacked this week, but a lot of solid decent cards
