Predictions?

I gave Hominick the 2nd and the 5th round. The way judges score take downs has to be addressed. Hominick boxed his ears off for most of the round, Aldo took him down twice, never gaining a dominant position and being completely neutralized. You shouldn't get points for getting a take down and doing nothing with it unless its a Rampage style slam. I briefly considered giving Hominick a 10-8 for the 5th which on my card would have made a draw, but he just didn't do enough damage

I totally agree with this. But I didn't even give it much thought while watching the fight, I just knew they'd score the round for Aldo.

If Aldo can get his stamina worked out, wow. Even gassed he was making Hominick, a good striker, miss a lot just with head movement. And I really liked the fact that both guys threw body shots, totally underutilized strike in MMA. I guess the fear is getting countered? But with those gloves you can just double a guy over with a good left hook to the body. I like that part of Nick Diaz's game too.

I read he had some injuries leading up to camp and came in heavier than usual which led to a tough weight cut. He definitely didn't have the same pace that he did in the first. Although Hominick had some good moments boxing it was pretty clear who had the heavier hands.
