He would probably beat them all." Masvidal’s reasoning comes down to Aldo’s legendary takedown defense. Throughout his prime, the "King of Rio" shut down elite collegiate and freestyle wrestlers like Chad Mendes and Frankie Edgar with over 90% defensive wrestling efficiency, punishing them with leg kicks and knees.
