    Jose Aldo wants a rematch. They might not have a better option this late in the game.

    Edit: Cub Swanson also interested

    Aldo is currently the frontrunner to replace Edgar.

    Worse, perhaps. Aldo needs to unleash his leg kicks early or he'll be KO'd within 2.

    Internet seems shocked that Overeem got slaughtered. I'm shocked at the amount of people that are shocked. You have the hardest recorded puncher in history vs one of the most chin shot fighters in history. The fuck did people expect to happen?

    Only got to see the main card fights.

    Waterson VS. Torres was hard fought but the difference in grappling was pronounced. Good fight to start the night. The division is so different with Rose as champion it feels like everyone has a chance.

    Did not like the booking of Alvarez VS. Gaethje going next. This would've been the third fight. Goddamn it was a barnburner. Both guys gave every ounce. Loved it. I was watching with a friend who saw Gaethje's record during the walk out and was impressed. It was a fragile record given the way he fights.

    Cejudo VS. Pettis was lopsided and murdered the pace of the show. Given the choice between DJ and TJ or DJ and Cejudo 2 pretty obvious what everyone will want to see. With DJ floating the idea of it being at 130 have to feel he doesn't want it or hates his chances.

    Ngannou is a bulldozer. Reem should reconsider his career after yet another bad KO. Miocic should be preparing to face the slugger and figuring out how to make it a long fight.

    Holloway put on a masterful performance recreating his last win over Aldo. He is amazing. Edgar presents a very different challenge but the size difference should be too much.

    Somebody needs to teach Gaethje some defense or he's going to be relegated to an exciting fighter who will co main PPV and headline TV fights and might sniff a shot at a title but for the most part will have a lot of KO losses that could have been avoidable if he had some d.
