@josealdojunior is still so damn fast…will he be able to keep up this pace the entire fight? #UFC265

At his best Aldo makes some beautiful micro adjustments with his feet and his body position that makes him hard to hit and puts him in a great spot to take advantage of you with his speed/power. At his worst, he is vulnerable to pressure and head shots.

Aldo needs to kick more like he used to but maybe he has injuries we don’t know about #ufc265

Where have you been hiding those leg kicks Aldo?! Seeing him throw them here in round 3 is helping to open everything up for him. Great and brutal to witness.

Where José Aldo is concerned it’s the speed and the violence on his shots for me! #UFC265
