Does Moicano melt Aldo? He's a -135 favourite but this doesn't feel like a Hernandez/Cowboy type of fight where the vet uses experience and grit to undo a barely tested prospect. This feels like somebody winding down their career and in decline meeting somebody who's just about reaching their prime.

I worried more about the Stephens fight more than I worry about Moicano. I think Moicano is good and fairly consistent but I don't think Aldo has depreciated enough at least on offense to lose to someone who is a good submission grappler but only slightly above average in terms of striking prowess. I think it takes someone special like Holloway to put away Aldo in the manner that Holloway did. It would take Aldo getting super old between late July to now to really look out of sorts against Moicano.
