I always wanted to see Jose Aldo and Dominick Cruz fight.

[csmith_189]

This would have been an incredible fight. Especially back when they were in their prime.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

Aldo by side kick

 

[Khaosan]

Aldo by leg kick to the head.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Aldo Pettis

 

[GolovKing]

Aldo would have won at any point in their careers

 

[Substance Abuse]

The UFC really fucked up the end of Aldo's career for absolutely no reason.

 

[Laheys'Liquorland]

Cruz would've declined.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Cruz wouldn't want any part of that fight. Especially his legs!

 

[Flower2dPeople]

Dana should give both a million dollars for a 3 rd fight on 300. He owes it to the fans. Maybe 135 might be hard nownfor Aldo, so just make it 145 fight.

 

[HatKick]

Still can't believe they didn't make that fight 1-2 years ago. Made all the sense in the world. Instead we got Aldo vs Merb ...

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Aldo was too strong and would chew Dom up.

 

[Liverkick-king56]

We could've got a legit Aldo BW title shot and we've could've got Aldo vs Cruz in the same win streak..... but no the UFC instead decided we needed Aldo vs Merab at high altitude.

I'd favor Aldo but Cruz had the cardio to make the later rounds interesting if he could find a way to not lose his leg.

Would've been such a good match up in the WEC

I agree. Sometimes the matchmaking in the ufc is horrible.

 

[chinarice]

If Aldo threw leg kicks, Cruz would have been fucked.

 

[MindGamingMantis]

Cruz in his prime was the matrix, but Aldo was a physical beast. I would favor Aldo, but people sleep on Cruz because of the Cody stuff. There's a reason Cruz came back and beat TJ to win his belt back after a long ass layoff. Cruz at his prime was greatness.

I feel like cruz's footwork would help keep him away from Aldo's leg kicks. Either that or work against him maybe if Aldo could have timed them right.

 

[GSPenn1991]

Dom would have gotten trounced any time in both of their careers. As good as Dom was, Aldo is a definitive all timer no questions asked.

Aldo kicks Cruz popsicle stick legs into oblivion
