Moraes is firing some lethal shots at Aldo and just barely missing.

— Kevin Iole (@KevinI) December 15, 2019

Speed differential is already noticeable in favor of Moraes.

Minnie me bout to do his thing @MMARLONMORAES Let’s gooo Magic

— Eddie Alvarez (@Ealvarezfight) December 15, 2019

Where the hell are those leg kicks from Aldo? It's the one weapon that I'm flabbergasted that he doesn't use anymore. It's truly bizarre.

— Andreas Hale (@AndreasHale) December 15, 2019

Aldo's counters are hurting Moraes. Moraes gets the takedown. Aldo came on late, but I felt Moraes took the round. 10-9, Moraes.

— Heidi Fang (@HeidiFang) December 15, 2019

There we see it… Moraes’ kicks and Aldo’s right hand. Not sure it was a smart idea for Moraes to come out so hard when he gassed in his last outing…

— Dan Tom (@DanTomMMA) December 15, 2019

Ohhhhh what a fucking fight!!!

— Chas Skelly (@ChasSkelly) December 15, 2019

Aldo so far looking good at 135. He does seem a bit slower than normal but that might just be because Moraes is extremely quick. #UFC245

Com’on @josealdojunior use your kicks man.

— Josh Thomson (@THEREALPUNK) December 15, 2019

You can tell someone’s MMA age by whether or not why remember how FUCKING BRUTAL Jose Aldo’s leg kick once was. Almost non existent now

— Jimmy Smith (@jimmysmithmma) December 15, 2019

Man Aldo is taking these shots it’s crazy!! #UFC245

— Niko Price (@Nikohybridprice) December 15, 2019

Jose Aldo isn't letting Marlon Moraes breathe. He's slowly taken over this fight and is slowly shushing everyone who thought the cut to 135 would be his undoing #UFC245

— Nolan King (@mma_kings) December 15, 2019

@josealdojunior is looking great #UFC246

— Brad Pickett (@One_Punch) December 15, 2019

If @josealdojunior threw legs kicks … #ufc245

— Dennis Bermudez (@MenaceBermudez) December 15, 2019

Aldo was on skates that round. Damn the body work was nice too #UFC245

— Tatiana Suarez (@tatianaufc) December 15, 2019

Great fight between Aldo and Moraes!! Also had that last round!! What do y’all think #UFC245

— Stephen Thompson (@WonderboyMMA) December 15, 2019

Wow, @josealdojunior is taking and giving shots very well! #UFC245

— Neil Magny (@NeilMagny) December 15, 2019

Whatever else happens here, Aldo looks good and healthy at 135 and like he can still do stuff. But I also think we're 1-1 heading into the third.

— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) December 15, 2019

Also looking great … #ufc245

— JIMI MANUWA (@POSTERBOYJM) December 15, 2019

I thought 35 was too low for Aldo and now I think Aldo is gonna be bantanweight champ in his next fight

— David Michaud (@bulldawg_170) December 15, 2019

Beautiful display of striking and cage control by @josealdojunior. He’s so sharp with cutting Moraes off.

— Siyar The Great (@Siyarized) December 15, 2019

I have Moraes winning the third round 10-9 and the fight 29-28. Aldo in full celebration mode as we await the judges, though, so he would clearly disagree. #ufc245

— Adam Hill (@AdamHillLVRJ) December 15, 2019

I have it 29-28 Aldo

If you had doubts about Aldo cutting to bantamweight, you don't after that performance.

— Aaron Bronsteter (@aaronbronsteter) December 15, 2019

Aldo dedicated himself to a weight change and looking better than ever . Excellent job being a pro and handling the weight cut and ultimately living a healthier life lowering his weight #UFC245

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) December 15, 2019

By split decision!

Aldo looked really good. I thought he won that fight #UFC245

— Cub Swanson (@CubSwanson) December 15, 2019

Wow! What a fight! I had no idea which way it was gonna go! Congrats to both men! #UFC245

— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) December 15, 2019

Do you believe Aldo is 33?

— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) December 15, 2019

Bullshit.

— Bryce Mitchell (@ThugnastyMMA) December 15, 2019

Aldo was classy in the cage, but he covered his face with his T-shirt as he walked past press two. Emotion definitely hitting him there. FWIW, I gave him R2 and R3.
