I don't really see any controversy in the Edgar/Aldo fight. Edgar was picking up steam at the end of the 3rd and in the 4th, but the 5th looked like Aldo's round. The only round that was clearly Edgar's was the 4th. I was hoping the fight would be more competitive, but it is what it is. Based on that performance though, I think Aldo could win the belt at 155 fairly easily.

Loved the Maia/Fitch fight. I always felt Fitch was overrated, building his record mostly on low ranked fighters while struggling against top 10 fighters who aren't named Thiago Alves. Maia not only showed great BJJ, his wrestling was top notch. Fitch couldn't stop his takedowns while being unable to mount any offense himself. Imo Hendricks/Maia would be a really good fight to make.
