It's incredible that against the fighter with probably the best takedown defence in MMA, Merab was able to completely dominate.

Amazing.

29-28 Merab. Maybe 30-27, but the first was Aldo’s best round.

Aldo looked like ******* dog**** tonight. His takedown defense held up but he didn’t ******* STRIKE! If he was gonna lose he could’ve at least gotten outwrestled, NOT OUTSTRUCK!
