Im kinda surprised at this fight being so even with Vegas. Max is great and should put up a fight, but let's be real... Jose Aldo is on another level and should be able to beat him.
Who you taking?

I've got Aldo. He looked really good against Frankie and to my eyes Frankie didn't look like he had lost a step or anything. That's enough for me to say Aldo should beat Max.
It's just hard to be TOO confident, considering Aldo is 1-1 in the last two and a half years. That's not much info to go on.
Are you guys buying this card? I'm excited for the main event but beyond that... eh.

I think Cláudia Gadelha vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz will be the fight of the night. They're the only two women who have taken Joanna to a close decision. Im expecting a war between these two.

Both are awesome but they are also both VERY calculated and tend to counter their opponents. I think we could see a more boring fight than people are expecting with far less significant strikes than what these two studs would deliver against other people. I think Max wins a rather lackluster but clear unanimous decision.
Claudia will win a 3 round fight because she will get 4+ take downs.
The wildcard of the card is Nate Marquardt vs Vitor. Who knows with either of those guys but I suspect it will be Vitor put to sleep in the 1st.

The only thing Vitor has going for him is that he's fighting in Brazil.

I hope Max beats his ass and leaves him in tears like Conor did. We need a more exciting champion for this class. I'll have to pass on this card.

Have you ever watched his highlight reel? I dont think it gets more exciting than that... Some of the most devastating finishes I've ever seen came from Aldo. Look at who he's fought compared to Max... Jose Aldo has made the most elite fighters in that division look like complete n00bs. Sure he's won ten in a row, but the level of competition Max has faced is not nearly as impressive.

Max's level of competition vs Aldo. Let's look at the last 5 opponents of both:
Max:
Pettis (finish) Lamas (decision) Stephens (decision) Oliviera (finish) Swanson (finish)
Aldo:
Frankie (decision) Conor (loss) Mendes (decision) Llamas (decision) Korean Zombie (finish)
Aldo hasn't finished an opponent since Korean Zombie and that fight was stopped because Zombie broke his arm. Hard to say Aldo has been more impressive during these last five years. I would argue Max has.

Sure he's won ten in a row, but the level of competition Max has faced is not nearly as impressive. Oh yeah, Jose's 2 KO's in 9 fights in the UFC is just the ultimate. Not to mention Zombie's shoulder was dislocated. Aldo must have had a better "nutritionist" in WEC because he turned ultra conservative in the big show. As far as his level of competition compared to Max, no doubt his competition is better.

I love Aldo, but I think it's Max''s time I don't think the Edgar fight can give Aldo the momentum he needed to make a serious run. Max is on a roll- BUT, Max looks like a retarded-filipino version of Harland Williams.

Does anyone actually care about this main event or the fake belt it's for?

Does anyone actually care about this main event or the fake belt it's for? I wouldn't rent it at half price. The co-main fight would be a shitty FS1 headliner.

Excited for this fight and I don't really give a damn who wins cause I like both guys about the same.
If I had a gun to my head and had to bet, it would definitely be Aldo cause I just don't know how Max is going to deal with the speed of those leg kicks. One round of those leg kicks and Max is done IMO.

Main event is a true toss up for me but I am leaning towards Max being a little hungrier and taking the Championship rounds.
Really looking forward to this fight and looking even more forward for the winner to face McGregor in 2019.

Max is over-confidant. He's going to get his ass whooped. Who wants to bet?

I can't forget that no matter how good he's looked lately. I feel Aldo I'd favor in this fight on paper but I just feel max is in the right place at the right time. Pure heart choice.

I guess if that's what you are into. I usually use merch bets to get random shit for my house or toys. We can go $50 if you want a Brock shirt made in the USA?

Since the only PPV draw and true champ in that weight class left I'd like to see the new "acting champ" at least be exciting.
