The key to beating Jose Aldo is right here in this article. Perhaps Manny Gamburyan, Mike Brown or another challenger will heed my advice.
Urijah Faber should defeat WEC featherweight Champ Jose Aldo this coming Saturday, April 24th at the WEC's first PPV event. The explosive card, held at Sacramento's ARCO Arena, will also include a much anticipated rematch between Donald Cerrone and lightweight Champ, Ben Henderson (Cerrone clearly won their first match but, once again, incompetent judging gave the win to Henderson).
I'm surprised so many reports state that Urijah will have his hands full trying to deal with the explosive Aldo. I feel the opposite is true; Jose will be the one with a worried look in his eyes as he tries to deal with the former 145lb Champ. I'm not discounting Aldo's considerable skills. I just strongly feel Jose is not at the same level as Urijah Faber. Uriah is better than Jose in every fighting category. If you saw the official weigh in, you couldn't help notice Aldo's hands trembling as he faced a calm and determined Faber. Urijah shouted to Aldo, "No way Jose!"
Fight Info
Urijah Faber has no quit in him. I've always been a Faber fan but because Mike Brown is so good and originally hails from Maine, I'm a fan of my fellow New Englander too. Aldo is newer to the WEC scene, but what he has accomplished so far has made me a big Aldo fan as well. However it was because of Faber's courageous performance in a losing effort to Brown, that I have a special admiration for Urijah. However, in this article I will try to pick the winner of Aldo vs. Faber, so which fighter is my favorite will have no influence on my pick.
In the second Brown fight Faber was doing well but had suffered two broken hands . Just imagine how he must have felt. He had a chance to reclaim his belt but two of his major weapons were useless! The California Kid never gave up. He kept trying to win, even swinging several standing elbows when his hands wouldn't work. How many fighters would have reacted as Faber did? How many would have rightly been discouraged and quit to avoid further damage? That's the night I gained added respect for Urijah Faber. That performance demonstrated a champion's courage and heart. This must be factored into the equation
I've also seen Jose Aldo under pressure. He folded like a lawn chair. It was during Aldo's match against Luciano Azevedo, a good fighter but not in Faber's league. Azevedo put relentless pressure on Aldo. He hit him, he kicked him and tried for takedown after takedown until Aldo wilted. Luciano got the takedown, then side mount, then full mount, then took Aldo's back and choked him out. You can watch it below this article. You'll notice Aldo's weak ground game. In fact, before he crumbled, Aldo twice tried to fall out of the ring. I'm sure he's improved but at least in the video below, Jose had no confidence in his ground game.
To handicap Faber vs. Azevedo, you must be mindful of what really went on before the Mike Brown vs. Jose Aldo Championship fight. Mike Brown was not mentally right for that bout. There was so much going on with Mike before that fight that he couldn't perform at his best (see Brown video below).. Six days before the fight Mike was struck by Thiago Alvez's knee in a sparring session. He required 18 stitches to close the wound above his right eye and realized the gash would most likely reopen during the Aldo match. This is not an excuse for Mike's loss; it's important information you must factor in when handicapping Saturday's Aldo vs. Faber championship fight. The facts help you understand why Aldo overwhelmed Brown so you won't inflate Aldo's chances against Faber.
Faber is very fast, has vicious, powerful strikes, amazing submissions, superb wrestling skills, a strong chin, superhuman cardio and a champion's heart. It's all too much for Jose Aldo. Faber will win by submission in round 4.
Here's Luciano Azevedo's 2 part blueprint for beating Jose Aldo. Mike Brown's video follows part 2.

Had Urijah Faber followed the blueprint outlined in this article, the outcome might have been much different. Although Jose Aldo was very good, Urijah did not attack, shoot enough for takedowns. It was baffling why Faber chose to fight standing, when his best chance for victory lay with his ground game.
