Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-07-09, some good single shots between Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two.
The black belt in Bjj and former Ufc Lw champion Frankie Edgar entered this fight with a mma record of 20-4-1 (50% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.2 featherweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Conor McGregor). He suffered three consecutive defeats between 2012 and 2013, the last one against Jose Aldo in their first bout (=Aldo vs Edgar I) but after this fight he has collected five victories beating Urijah Faber (=Edgar vs Faber) and Chad Mendes in 2015 (=Edgar vs Mendes).
His opponent, the black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and former Ufc Fw champion Jose Aldo Junior, has an official record of 25-2-0 (64% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.4 in the same weight class but he fought just twice in the last 24 months beating Chad Mendes in 2014 (=Aldo vs Mendes 2) and losing to Conor McGregor in 2015 (4-stars-fight, Aldo vs McGregor). Edgar vs Aldo 2 is valid for the interim Ufc featherweight title; undercard of Miesha Tate vs Amanda Nunes – UFC 200. Watch the video and rate this fight!
