Faber in his prime
Florian
Mendes x 2
Lamas
Edgar x 2
Pulled out of 5 or 6 fights?
I don't remember that.
He rescheduled a fight with Mendes once because of injury, but still ended up fighting him.
Same thing with McGregor. Pulled out due to injury but still ended up fighting him.
EDIT:
He also had a fight with Pettis canceled when Pettis was LW champ. But Pettis pulled out of that fight, not Aldo.

Aldo pulled out of
UFC 125 vs Grispi
UFC 149 vs Koch
UFC 153 vs Edgar
UFC 176 vs Mendes
UFC 189 vs McGregor
On top if that he was offered the opportunity to rematch McGregor when RDA got hurt and turned it down. Right after saying he'd fight him anytime anywhere.
