    Hom has some great technical strikes, I think he will have to sprawl a couple of times in this one.

    Yep.

    Aldo is shaking, it's amazing.

    Goosebumps here in the room, I'm well wrapped up too.

    Was hoping Hom takedown defense might stop Aldo. Great first round too though.

    Hominick fairly lucky there to get away with all that fence grabbing.

    Aldo is really looking like serious business, I doubt this is going to go the five rounds.

    Aldo is hoping the judges keep scoring these takedowns as heavily as the have been, he is certainly tired, might be 2 rounds up though.

    Really great championship fight.

    50-43 are there free drugs for the judges at cageside. Surely 49-46 or 45 if you give a 10-8.

    So Hommick's head is made of granite and filled with sand....?

    That was an incredible fight. This card just keeps getting better.

    Show's practically over now, that featherweight title fight should have been the main event.

    GSP/Shields has snoozefest written all over it but I hope they prove me wrong.

    Im using ones that have been linked in the past page or two (thanks). Have had to switch a few times but have it going decently enough. Try them again if you're not having any luck.

    19mins left in ppv slot, in the past if it went over time then all revenue was refunded - not sure if still the case?

    If George said he can't see out his eye after the first or second round, should the doctor not have examined it after that ?

    Jake Shields always looks terrible in his fights. Can't punch and is total one dimensional (lay and pray).

    I don't understand why everyone rates him so high.

    So what, he has 16 wins in a row. Many of them were against nobodies.

    Were you not watching this fight? Jake Shields went toe to toe with the 'best lb4lb fighter' in mma history and lost 48-47. Does that not make him at least, the 2nd best ww in the world, no one has gone closer to beating gsp

    He was totally ineffective. GSP only had one eye.

    No, I've always thought Shields was crap. I'm sure I could find an old post of mine where I say that.

    Have you ever seen his other fights? He just lies on top of people. I understand there is skill involved in that but it is hardly world class fighting.
