How GOOD was Jose Aldo Actually?

Casual opinions will never matter. It doesn't hold weight.

he was doing awesome after the fight, the only losses being holloway and volk, he beat the shit out of everyone else

[@AnorexicSausauge]

He had 7 title defenses 5th most in history of any division of the UFC with an 18 fight win streak UFC+WEC. Connors win was not a fluke, however if they had the rematch I’m certain Aldo would of won

I think WEC title runs are so underrated condit, faber, aldo, brian stann All those guys are legends

[@davidcrow3101]

A ten year winning streak speaks for itself. The man fought like a keg of gunpowder and he was a unique blend of speed, power and balance. When watching his fights you had to pay attention at all times because at any moment he might explode into a blur of motion and end it. His amazing balance enabled him to pursue a retreating opponent and continue to land wicked strikes from all angles. Even when he was chasing was balanced. That balance also made him hard to take off his feet, and if someone tried to stand up and bang with him it looked like they were getting punched and kicked by a tornado. Aldo fought like the Tasmanian Devil. He's one of the greatest to ever enter the cage. Genki Sudo please!

[@imankhan1999]

I remember watching Aldo, Jon Jones, and Anderson silva as the very first 3 mma fighters as an 11 year old. Now I'm 23. Won't forget how brutal Aldo's leg kicks were. A legend retired.

One thing, you said that Aldo fought Max in an immediate rematch but it was actually a short notice fight. Max was supposed to be fighting Frankie, but Frankie pulled out 3 weeks before the fight.

[@randallflagg3700]

@Lessons in Logic - and that doesn't mean Aldo didn't have a full training camp, since he was training for Ricardo Lamas when he got the news that he could switch to fighting Holloway again for the title and save the card. Max and Aldo were on the same level, both trained for someone else and got a rematch instead.

[@randallflagg3700]

@Lessons in Logic - Because OP sounds like he's saying the rematch wasn't fair, saying that Aldo was late replacement for Frankie... which would imply that Aldo had little time to train. In fact, Aldo also had a full training camp since he was preparing for Lamas.

[@PROTESTism]

Great video as always! Jose Aldo truly is amazing! He deserves more videos like this. Pound for pound one of the best. The defeat against Connor still makes me sad. A carreer like his should have never get a loss like that. Jose Aldo was the Pele of MMA. His kicks were perfect. I wish him all the best. God bless him! Thank you for your videos Kiyon!

[@areichental]

Young Jose was the same level of snuff film at 145 as young Jon Jones. Aldo was a bonafide murderer in the cage for ever. Truly a legend. Also, if you haven't seen urijahs legs after their fight, look em up. It's the stuff of nightmares.

Top 5 greatest of all time and by far the best featherweight of all time. Edit: Volk has not reach the title defenses record of featherweight yet

[@madgavin7568]

Aldo is the greatest (most accomplished) Featherweight of all time. However Volk is the best Featherweight of all time because put him against any Featherweight past or present, and he beats them. Prime Aldo vs current Volk, gotta favor Volk, he's too good.

[@DivineNaruto]

@@madgavin7568 Prime Aldo is just as precise as Volk and he's definitely faster. Those leg kicks are dangerous and prime Aldo used them religiously unlike old Aldo. He also adjusts really good. I'd put prime Aldo over Volk but just barely.

[@madgavin7568]

@@DivineNaruto All debatable honestly. Volk has clear advantages in footwork, fight IQ and feinting, he's the physically stronger fighter, he's got vastly superior cardio and I'd even go as far as to say he's the better MMA boxer. What's more, we saw what happened when they fought; Volk froze Aldo with feints and erratic movement, he completely shut him down. I don't care if its past-form Aldo or whatnot, any version of Aldo gets confused by what Volk did against him. I will concede Aldo has an advantage in explosive athleticism, granting him his power and a slight speed advantage. But those can't compensate for not having the fight IQ or execution of game-plans Volk does in his fights. Aldo can adjust yes, but so can Volk and he's normally several steps ahead of his opponents in that regard.
