Highly respected MMA analyst TheWeasle claims a prime Jose Aldo would lose to Yair Rodriguez

That's almost dumber than what Joe Biden said the other day.
 
Bad assessment, Yair struggles with fighters with better boxing, with good defense and counter striking. He was losing to Zombie before the KO at the very end of the fight. Aldo is a better version of Zombie. Aldo has good pressure, good defense, better boxing and counters. Leg kicking Aldo would immobilize Yair a bit and his slow forward pressure would give him problems as well. Yair likes fighters that run at him so he can time and throw a wild jumping kick, or spinning move as they run in. Slow forward pressure makes it harder for him to time those type of strikes because he's also worried about the counter strikes coming back at him.

The other potential losses he mentioned are off as well. Some have the ability to beat him, but his overall assessment is way off. Should ask him to explain how those fighters beat him. See if he can answer those types of questions with his analytical skills.

I follow a lot of MMA media, and this is the first time I've ever heard of "ThaWeasle." Most likely. he's one of those UFC shill reporters that forms his opinions based off what the Las Vegas bosses tell him that day.

To take his opinion seriously, you'd have to do a lot of mental gymnastics.
