Would aldo really want to go up and challenge LWs?

Part of the reason he's gone down is because Max Holloway is still champ

He'll have a loss to Alex or 2 to Max

He wants another title

Mad respect for the dude but its time to just hang up the belt.
He's heavy favorite to win tonight and probably will but can u imagine losing?

Aldo has said Andre Pederneiras his coach is a big reason he's moving down, thinks it's the right move for him. He respects him a lot and trusts his opinion. So they clearly believe the better path is at lower weight, but so did TJ, and we saw what happened with him. I just don't know how to feel, very unsure.

Conor defending Aldo's weight cut

“I disagree here. He looks more than on top of it in my experienced opinion. Well trimmed in advance, and naturally a lighter man now. This can only be done over a long length of time and with complete dedication. Respect! I wish him well and am excited to see him in this division.”

When made aware of McGregor’s comments, Aldo responded:

"Of course I took it to heart,” Aldo said on media day (via BJ Penn). “All of the great champions know what type of sacrifice it takes for us to achieve things. The other people, the other fighters, they can only dream of this.
So it means a lot to me that it comes from him (Conor McGregor). He is a champion in two-weight classes. He knows the sacrifices that I’ve had to make and I really take the comment/compliment to heart.”

that's some real shit right there. once i saw him on the scale i realized he was doing it right too

I like that he's listening to his coach, that's the type of stuff they're supposed to choose(or switch coaches), not you

- ?

He's got a warriors heart and the balls of a man three times his size. Just don't wanna see him get smashed by a bantamweight and forced to retire on a really bad note.
