Really? Its quite the opposite. Pettis has fought and beaten two better strikers (Cerrone/Henderson) than Aldo has ever fought.

I would say that Hominick is the best striker that either of the two has faced, and he got a beating from Aldo. And Frankie has pretty damn good striking as well. But styles make fights, and Aldo/Pettis should be exciting.

Aldo is a more technical and talented striker, plus he's way faster. Won't even be close.

tbh i dont even see pettis beating frankie, i think aldo will outshine him early on and if pettis is lucky and makes it to the championship rounds he can steal a round or 2 at most once aldo gets tired of putting hands on him.

Aldo starts off technical, but as his gas tank lowers he was just throwing sloppy left hooks while going backwards. Faster? Absolutely. He has more power in his hands too. But more talented striker? Doubt it. Showtime has moves that would leave Aldo admiring. I even saw Jose steal Showtimes swag with the superman punch off the cage in the fight against Edgar.

lmao you do realise Pettis didn't actually invent strikes from walls right? If you think that Anthony's 'awesome flashy kicks' means that he's actually a better striker than Aldo you're crazy.

BTW i actually like Anthony a lot, he's very exciting and talented, loved it when he beat down that douchebag Cerrone. claiming to be some hardcore Aldo fan and saying Pettis is a better striker and will KO him is fucking retarded however .

I remember Matt Riddle years ago before pettis even did the showtime kick did a superman punch off the cage.

yeah well anthony claiming it to be the showtime kick is stupid as hell too, kinda like steven seagal claiming he owns some sort of rights over the front kick to the face. these techniques are very old. a kick off the wall is definitely flashier and more rare than a front kick but Anthony did not 'create' it or anything. Just the first to land it flush in a big time MMA fight.

Aldo is the more dynamic striker. He has the better combo of power, speed, and explosiveness. However, i think Pettis is the better and more talented striker. He has more tools on the feet. His reach, cardio, and knowing how to take and answer kicks will be the differnece in this fight in my opinion. And yes, i have Showtime by head kick KO. What do you think he is going to get a decision? Im a huge fan but i make predictions based on what i have seen and think could very well happen. I had Aldo beating Edgar and he did. Although i expected him to do it more convincingly. I have had him winning every single fight in the last few years. Just think its Anthony\'s time. I would give him a slight edge in a fight with Ben Henderson too and yall know Smooth is my dude.
