Road To An Undisputed P4P King:UFC HW Champ Cain Velasquez VS FW Champ Jose Aldo

There's always a lot of talk about who is the "Pound-For-Pound" best fighter in the world. Two names very close to the top of that list are UFC Heavyweight Champ Cain Velasquez and UFC Featherweight Champ Jose Aldo. Now it could never be known for sure which of these men would win in a fight, because there is about one hundred pounds dividing them. Lets say for argument sake they could fight. Who'd Win? Well who knows. You decide. But, what I have here is a pretty cool path connecting the two champs from one weight class, to the next, to the next. So, theoretically, there's the slightest outside chance that the two could someday meet in the Octagon. Enjoy!

Only Champs Are Allowed on This List!......... Except For Jason "Mayhem" Miller

So, in case you haven't noticed a trend going on here, there is one.

Jose Aldo wins via Unanimous decision and defends his WEC Featherweight Championship. Faber shows how truly tough he is by being beaten the worst he ever had in his career, yet not getting finished. Aldo shows how dominant he is by picking apart one of the best to ever fight in the division.

In Conclusion.... Jose Aldo.

As far as the realm of reality is concerned, Cain Velasquez VS Jose Aldo probably won't ever happen. So, all we can do is compare their body of work. At 24 years old Aldo is on an eleven fight win streak, seven of which are by TKO or KO. Super quick. Super fast. Super explosive. Extremely heavy hands. He hasn't even had a tough fight in his 20's. I think Jose Aldo is just a step or two above everybody else at this point in his career, and I don't see him going anywhere anytime soon. Aldo will stay atop all rankings and will be the UFC Featherweight Champ for a long time to come.
