You're comparing that tub of shit to NBA players? Some of the best athletes on the planet?

Ibaka would literally dunk Aldo.

seriously...

it's not like being big, strong and athletic removes all weaknesses. doesn't matter if you're a prime shaq or wilt-- nobody is invincible, and that includes even the most expert, largest pro fighters on the planet, such as cain velasquez and jon jones.

the other thing is that unless you're a trained fighter, you're not going to have that deep experience and arsenal of cutting edge techniques to draw from. you're not going to have familiarity and comfort with fighting for a minutes on end reacting to what's being done, attacking correctly, defending correctly, not panicking, pacing yourself, etc.

these NBA guys would be bound to make multiple mistakes, and a 160lb aldo is just the guy to read and react at an expert level. not to mention, most of these guys would be bound to have adrenaline dumps based on the situation alone.

i wouldn't guarantee aldo to win every fight, but he would have the advantage pretty much every single time, even with the size mismatch.

Aldo fights at 145, lets be generous and say he walks around at 160.

Lebron is 280+ muscle bound beast, with great quickness.

That much size difference negates any fighting skill advantage. its why weight classes exist.

Lol dude I agree with your general point but don't spread misinformation. Bron is listed at 250 and could definitely be as big as 260-265 with under 10% BF but he is definitely NOWHERE close to "280+".

But also on the other hand does NO ONE here know a guy who's smaller like 5'7" or 5'9" and just knows how to fight.. really? I know a couple dudes who aren't all THAT big who just flat out know how to fight. Most people gotta know someone like that, who you just wouln't **** with. Anyway Jose Aldo is a much better fighter than those guys.

Aldo would mindrape everyu single NBA player except for mayyybe Ron Artest and Bruise Bones
