This was one of those fights that was basically a #1 contender fight, but also kinda wasn't, depending on performance. I will have to revisit the streaks to see where this puts Aldo, but Pearson was doing really well and if he won this one, he would have been a #1C for sure. But that was a shit, shit showing from him, so I'm not sure it's enough to give Aldo a title shot from. We will have to see. Seriously. Ross did nothing, and he even managed to fail at doing nothing... Disappointed.
