Last week, I came across a piece that attempted to justify a rather unique case regarding the UFC Featherweight title fight between champion Jose "Scarface" Aldo and challenger Mark "The Machine" Hominick.
For those who are interested, you can check out the piece by B/R Contributor David Kim here.
Now, the attempted point of said editorial. For those who would prefer a summary, the excitement potential of Aldo's defense against Hominick qualifies it to be the main event over the Georges St-Pierre-Jake Shields Welterweight title fight.
Considering the type of fights we've come to expect from the speed demons in the 145-lb. and 135-lb. divisions, I can understand that point. But 25 minutes of "serious spooning" in a Welterweight title bout?
Come on, GSP is not that boring.
I opened up the debate last week over whether he really needs to finish to be a legend in the sport.
GSP has more excitement potential on fight nights than people choose to give him credit for, but I'm not going to ignore the potential of Scarface's bout with The Machine.
As a matter of fact, the UFC Featherweight title bout might have the potential to be the bout that steals the show, but could the bout wind up being the one that should have headlined the card?
It could be, and what you're about to see is exactly why Aldo-Hominick could indeed steal the show.
