Seriously, that was a Gatti like performance. Aldo, in my opinion, was clearly not at his best and he absolutely killed Hominick. Hominick didn't have a clue where he was and looked the worst I've ever seen an MMA fighter, ever. He came back to plant Aldo on his back in the last round and give him a ***** slapping, I am so happy to know we have a fighter like that who we get to watch. What an absolute hero. I hope he's okay. Amazing.
maybe Aldo needs to go up in weight? Hominick may be a champ yet at that weight class. he did come close in the 5th and showed ****** heart but he just isn't good enough to beat Aldo. and there's no shame in that
Lets be honest guys, Im not going to make excuses but before Aldo hit Hominick with the grazing temple shots in the 3rd, Mark was giving Aldo a boxing lesson. As Ive said before, when Aldo faces the stud wrestlers at LW (Edgar and Maynard) who both can box and are world class wrestlers Aldo will lose handily.
Hominick is a great fighter. A true fighter. I hated the disrespect he was shown by so many fans leading up to this fight.
He layed it on the line tonite. He did the best he could. I am a fan of him now. That guy has heart and has what it takes to become a true champion one day.
Well I picked Hominick to win because to me Aldo has not faced any real opposition til now. And we see that his JJ was useless. BJJ nowadays is only going to work in low level affairs where someone has no clue how defend himself. But he has been a little exposed, and once Hominick started tagging him with some jabs and body shot he slowed down. And everyone saw how Hominck was starting to dominate in rd 3 before he got tagged. Now when Aldo faces someone like Maynard who has very good boxing, cardio, explosive power and the body strength of two Featherweights, there is no doubt in my mind he wont make it a couple of rounds. And I say this because Im tired of all these guys in his bandwagon that he'll beat anyone at LW.
