Aldo says he will pursue the knockout against Holloway.
Most of Aldo's success has come against fighters shorter than him, with less reach.
The title defenses Aldo had the most trouble with were against fighters near to his size: Conor McGregor & Korean Zombie.
I'm looking forward to seeing Aldo fight Holloway. Grin

Jose Aldo is 5.7 and for a 145 pound champion he wont be getting a 6 feet challengers as they wont be able to get to that weight and Kenny Florian is 5.10 and he had the reach advantage and still Aldo won the match as he kicked the hell out of his legs and that is how he is going to fighter taller guys and even with Korean Zombie he was not at all in any trouble and he popped his shoulders in the match and Aldo finished that fight soon after.

@Malsetid. I agree. I do not think he was at his best when he fought Conor. Aldo would not be so careless by throwing wild punches with his head leaned forward and his chin exposed.

Conor made him do that and trapped him up,he knew with the mind games he played he will come after him swinging and he waited for the perfect shot and knocked him out cold,i have never seen anyone humiliating Aldo in his career before the match and no one talked trash to Aldo and the mind games worked perfectly,i do think Conor is a genius to upset the oppositions rhythm.

Aldo has declared that he was willing to move up in lightweight just to fight versus Conor. I speculate Aldo will keep hunting for a rematch with the Irishman after winning versus Max Holloway. The humiliation is too much for him. He feels Conor's win was not deserved.

Well in a way i think connir got into aldo's head the last time that's aldo got cocky and careless. But i'd love to see a rematch. I believe aldo deserves a rematch of all people consifering his contributions to the ufc. Though i'm nit sure if the result would br different as mcgregor actually keeps getting better after their last fight. But that is onr rematch i'd pay to see

@bbc.reporter I am with Aldo in this encounter because i do consider him the best in the world but i just gave Holloway the credits because he is really young as he is just 25 years of age and he has already accomplished a lot at this age and went the full distance with Conor while he was knocking the rest of the fighters,Aldo was wild and he used to knock everyone out when he came into MMA and then he started to fight smart after becoming the champion and the only time when he lost his cool was against Conor and he got humiliated in that fight and if there is a rematch i am sure Aldo will win but to get that rematch is really difficult with Conor having other plans.

Well said, he is young lion and willing to take the crown for the old's one. But Aldo has the experience, the durability and looking for the rematch against Connor. So Aldo will pull this win and fight Connor. However, like you said, Connor has other plans like the Mayweather fight??? or move to a different weight class. So I doubt if he will get the rematch soon after he wins against Max.

@eaLiTy. That is true but that does not mean Aldo cannot win versus Max Holloway. I speculate this fight will be almost the same as Aldo versus Frankie Edgar. Frankie and Max almost have the style. Also another big help for Aldo is the fight will be in Rio de Jianero.

About Conor and Aldo, I am confident that Aldo will get his chance before he retires.

Holloway doesn't have KO power tho. So I think Aldo has the edge here. And imho Aldo winning will be much better for the UFC because he'll come after McGregor next. I can imagine the winning speech already. He'll call out McGregor.

Holloway does not have KO power but he is the only fighter who fought with Conor Mcgregor and went the distance when all the fighters got knocked out,so he is durable and he has improved a lot after that loss,but Aldo is a really tough fighter and is one of the best fighters and i was routing for him to kick the hell out of Mcgregor and lost a huge bet in that match and i really wish to see the rematch between them,but it is really difficult to catch Mcgregor now as he has a long list of fights and that too big money fights.

Jose Aldo got rocket by Conor McGregor. This card is just not that interesting, the Cormier card is also not that interesting in my book. I think the UFC is failing to come up with great cards lately, at least to catch the attention of the average joe that isnt a fan.

Aldo is motivated to prove he is one of the best, but McGregor destroyed his confidence, the win by McGregor was too clear, he got KO'd and that is a very bad feeling for fighters and you have it in your head for the future 2 or 3 fights.

Maybe because the attention right now is on Connor McGregor only. I agree with you saying that lately the cards is not stack up as previous years. I think Dana White should bring in fresh new fighters inside the cage that is interesting. Or maybe some of the fighters are injured that's why the card in not as worthy as before.

Sure Conor MgCregor is the main UFC attraction, but the problem, the rest of the UFC talents keep fucking up. Khabib N didn't pass the weight test against the big Tony Ferguson fight, Jon Bones Jones didn't pass the drug test against the big Daniel Cormier fight, Anderson Silva is no longer on his prime and should retire...

Anderson Silva and Kelvin Gastelum are set to fight in this event. Imho, I think this is a big mistake for Anderson to fight him this early after his bout with Brunson. He didn't look good then and I bet he wouldn't look good vs Gastelum either. He should give it more time before fighting again. He's over 40 ffs.

It is going to be a hard fight for Anderson Silva as Kevin Gastelum looks comfortable after moving up in weight but you cannot count out the greatest of all time and when he was in his prime he defeated everyone who is thrown in front of him and now with the injuries and the fight years he has being through he should retire on a high end rather than retiring like Vitor Belfort with a loss.

Agree it will be a tough one for the "legend" Anderson Silva. Kevin Gastelum is not a push over. Yes he has problem with this weight that why he moves up and face Silva. Its hard not to put your money on Kevin, because I hate to see Anderson lose this one. But I have to bet against him, I'm picking Kevin on this fight.

Apart from the Aldo Vs Holloway match they just added Cláudia Gadelha vs Karolina Kowalkiewicz for the card. My request to the UFC is that they must have a really good co main event because you really cannot trust an Aldo main event as he used to get hurt most of the time and if they don't get a good co main event it will be a stalemate of a card.

What are you talking about? Aldo does not get hurt most of the time. He is one of the most durable fighters in the UFC. Also why are you requesting a good comain event when you already mentioned it. A rematch between Claudia Gadelha and Karolina Kowalkiewicz will be a good one. That we can expect.

@ peter Max Holloway is on a ten fight winning steak and his last loss was against Conor McGregor and Holloway is the first person who dragged the match till the end inside the UFC against Connor as he won by decision and he is really young as he is just 25 years of age. If he is able to beat Aldo in Brazil that will be a feature in his cap. He was reckless against Conor and i really doubt he would risk and i would see the match going to a decision.
