What an INSANE statement.
Faber was considered a beast at that weight, just a manhandler, and those leg kicks made his legs swell out and bruise to where his corner had to pick him up between a round.
Showing a lot of heart and resilience is one of Frankies skills, but you can't ignore anatomy and physics.
Statistically speaking, we are likely to see Frankie eating leg kicks, shooting for take downs way too soon or far out and missing them, getting rushed with a flurry and then seeing Aldo back off before any counter can be made.
If it were to go to the ground, we've all seen what happens when Aldo is on the ground, and when Frankie has taken down Bendo.
He's likely to be caught in a submission, or put in a bad spot and pounded out.
Now, that's just what statistically is likely to happen.
That being said, this IS mma, and just because we've never seen Aldo get taken out before, doesn't mean he can't be.
Frankie could go in and catch Aldo with a punch, or grind out another controversial decision leading in Franky Aldo 2.
Oh god....can that PLEASE not happen?
I just wish this weren't his first fight at this weight.
He would have a chance to acclimate, get himself set, and actually have some non title work in before he rushes for Aldo.
