JOSE ALDO v FRANKIE EDGAR: BETTING PREVIEW

This is a rematch of their controversial fight three years ago, which Jose Aldo won in a still-debated decision at UFC 156. It was fairly close, with Aldo continuously frustrating Edgar with leg kicks and keeping his opponent from taking him to the ground. However, that version of Edgar was coming off back-to-back losses. Today’s version seeming has the answer to all his questions.

For Aldo (25-2), it's a huge opportunity to get his career back on track and to re-establish himself as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. The Brazilian saw an 18-fight win streak come to a crashing halt at UFC 194 last December, getting knocked out by Conor McGregor in just 13 seconds. During the impressive 10 years unbeaten run, the Brazilian recorded UD wins over Chad Mendes and Ricardo Lamas following a fourth-round TKO victory against Chan Sung Jung after the first meeting with Edgar.

Since losing to Jose Aldo by unanimous decision in his featherweight debut at UFC 156, Frankie Edgar (20-4-1) has won each of his last five fights, including impressive knockout wins against B.J. Penn and Chad Mendes that got him a Performance of the Night bonus. Edgar's improved striking should make this a more evenly matched bout as both fighters should be comfortable both standing and on the mat. Jose Aldo has suffered numerous injuries in recent years and that brutal knockout at the hands of McGregor has to be in his head
