Aldo is fighting a good fight. Martinez is fighting to his abilities. Montoya is telling him to focus on his kicks, but I disagree. That's exactly why he's losing and going to lose. It's like he didn't watch the first round at all

This is why I picked Aldo. Martinez relies way too much on his kicks. He doesn't pose any other threats. Gutierrez has that exact same issue. Martinez also struggles heavily against fighters with good hands and Aldo is exactly that. He's screwed

DC: "Martinez needs to try and fatigue Aldo" Bro, this is a three round fight, not a five round fight. What is DC talking about?

There goes Martinez. Fighting Aldo was just a too big of jump in competition for him.
