Aldo should be getting more respect than he is getting. A guy who dominates a division as long as he did shouldn't have to wait around for 14~ months for an opportunity to redeem himself while the guy that beat him fights three times in a row out of division.

I don't agree that anyone should get an automatic rematch unless it was a dominant champion and the result was very close/questionable. I'm not necessarily against it but it shouldn't be automatic.
Also Aldo has pulled out of 5 or 6 fights . Until he fights a couple in a row I wouldn't waste all my marketing dollars on him. Same with Khabib. There's no reason he can't come back and have a couple fights then get his rematch. He's being a big baby. Let him go, he's only put on 1 or 2 exciting fights in the past 6 years anyway.
