What's next for Jose Aldo?

Who do you think presents the most interesting fights at 145?

No one. He needs to move up to 155. Actually he can win all 3 titles in WEC and defend all 3 with no problem.

He isn't moving up anytime soon

Grispi is probably the name that will be thrown out most. It would be awesome if the WEC could land one of the many highly ranked 145ers out there: Omigawa, Sandro, Warren, Bib, etc

He won't fight Marlon Sandro, so the WEC signing him just throws a wrench in the title picture because he would beat everybody then not fight for the belt.

Bibiano Fernandes and maybe Omigawa offer a slight chance. Soto has a detached retina, Warren is way too green and probably wouldn't be able to take Aldo down anyway, not without a rounded game. Aldo looks unstoppable now. Then again the P4P list was full of Machida's, BJ's, Torres's and a bunch of guys who have lost since then a year or so ago. Never can tell.

He needs to enter the UFC Lightweight division.

The only FW I could see beating him is Sandro and that won't ever happen

He can run through all contenders before the WEC mergers with the UFC and he can take on the UFC LWs

Before that happens you might see him move up and take the WEC LW title though.

Or in six months some dude we've never heard of knocks him the fuck out. And such is the way of MMA.

Top guys like this usually stick around a while, I think he'd get subbed if anything too, but that's equally doubtful.

I disagree there. His ground game is his strongest attribute. His stand up does have visible holes in it though, however they appear to be getting smaller as he gets better with each fight.

I see it the other way around, but that's me, he also already lost by submission.

Touche on the loss LA, I'll give you that, but everything I've ever heard about this guy was he taps the worlds best straight BJJ guys in the gym. He comes from the best BJJ school in MMA, period, the place BJ Penn learned his craft. That loss was five years ago. Further, who is gonna get him down?

Whoever he fights better learn how to move and avoid those nasty leg kicks. That guy is scary good.

Aldo is a different animal. Torres and Faber weren't as dominant as Aldo. I don't see this guy losing until he gets to the UFC....maybe?

Cali Kid beats Aldo and then test positive for PEDs, book it.

Cali kid got his leg amputated and had to drop a weight class because of it. Not a chance.

Anyone think the WEC might try an Aldo vs Bendo PPV next year ?
