Pumped to see Aldo in the UFC! Can not wait for this... IMO be competitive for a round or so but when Hominick starts to feel the power of Aldo it really is gonna be an uphill struggle for him! Predictions please everyone? Preview blog on this fight here: http://www.mmayard.com/blog/mma-yard-news/jose-aldo-vs-mark-hominick/
I think a lot of casual fans who maybe have not seen Aldo fight before will be shocked at how good he is. He will very soon be a huge fan favourite in the UFC imo. I think Aldo wins by TKO stoppage in rd 2 or 3.
Alot of these small fighters must love the new exposure, higher sponsorship money and chance to win bigger bonuses.
I expect my boy Aldo to become a superstar :happy Far more exciting then the other p4p candidates at the moment.
They should be showing his fight with Faber on Spike tv around the clock to promote this kid!!! Jesus, that was a brilliant showcase of sheer skill and talent and athleticism, and a domination of a fan favorite, huge draw and a P4P top 15 guy. Everyone knows Faber, and if they see that fight everyone will be pumped as hell to see Aldo fight again!
I love both fighters. I think Aldo will win, but it's silly to completely count Hominick out. He is easily the best striker that Aldo has faced to date.
What did GSP say about Aldo? I haven't read or heard about that. Aldo sure is a dynamic striker. I'd love to see him move up in weight class and challenge the lightweight ranks.
I think a lot of peeps are going to be surprised how well Hominick fares. Tough, good striking ad a solid ground game, I think he and Aldo will have a good tussle before Aldo scores a TKO in 3 or 4 rounds.
his stand up is good but you cant count out aldo on stand up either and his ground game is no where near aldos
