He’s just balanced everywhere tbh but not a master of anything, good hands for the weight class I guess

@gliese58i 
Agreed, but Aldo is also older and really not as good as he was when he fought Yan the first time. I know this win over Martinez looks good, but Martinez is borderline top 15 at this point. Yan is a different caliber of fighter. I also don't think a rematch against Yan would make much sense. Yan just won against Song and can look ahead in the rankings. 

I think Aldo vs Cruz would be a good fight to make. I still love to see that fight, even though they are both old and far past their prime.

fast hands, Pantoja leaves openings because he know that he has stone chin for the division. With that being said, Pantoja has the clear advantage in most every area

Well I think he's saucing and if he isn't he could sauce for the Yan fight, noone is checking. Yan is also not the same fighter, he's taken some knocks and aged a bit too.

Yeah, I forgot they already fought. But as Gliesi said, 3 rounds are more suitable for Aldo now, and Yan is not the same either, so...

Aldo x Sandman would be also great, but I still want to see Sand x Umar more as of now.

If Pantoja doesn't run through this dude then he's officially the worst 125 Champ in UFC history.

Jose should honestly be in the top 6 or 7. He was on a killer winning streak and gave merab more trouble than any other fighter has, arguably won that fight. Jose vs Umar, sandhagen, Cruz would be awesome
