Am I crazy for liking Aldo at these odds? I thought Yan's fight against Jimmie Rivera was more competitive than it should have been. Followed that up by KO'ing Faber, whatever.
I think Yan should be the favourite, but he's never been in the cage with a guy near Aldo's caliber. And if we're being fair to Aldo, yes he's on the decline, but his losing streak looks worse than it is.
Max beat him down, absolutely. Aldo rebounds with 2 TKO wins over Stephens and Moicano, solid outings. He loses a decision to Volkanovski, no shame in that. He didn't get beaten down, just kind of beaten to the punch more often than not. Then he loses a controversial decision to Moraes. With any luck he's coming into this fight winning 3 of his last 4, and he still looks like he has a lot in the tank.
I see a lot of chatter here about Burns or Max as value underdogs, but the one that jumps out at me the most is Aldo.
