Seeing as how we know now that Jose Aldo broke his foot in the first two minutes of his fight with the Chan Sung Jung, do you think the fight would of ended differently if KZ didn't blow out his shoulder?

Jose won the first 3 rounds, no questions asked. But with his conditioning always coming into play in the championship rounds, and KZ about to keep moving forward till the final round, what could of been in the last round and a half. 

Not saying KZ would of upset Aldo, but seeing Aldo visibly linking at the end of the fight, maybe Jung could of won the final two rounds and possibly of done some damage as well.

I think it's safe to say most likely Aldo would've coasted to a decision seeing as he had the first 3 rounds...but Zombie was coming on, so you never know. Most likely an Aldo dec though if i would have to bet.

I was actually shocked KZ did so well , he landed some nice shots on Aldo . I think I underestimate him because of the Garcia fight. Theres a chance KZ could have landed the shot to put him away , but Aldo is the dominate champ for a reason.

I agree with you on that one. I would of been great to see KZ really pour it on in the last two rounds and really test Aldo in the championship rounds, kind of like how Frankie did. 

Aldo would of ended with either 49-46 across the board or even some 48-47s.

I knew KZ would bring it to the fight, especially after seeing some of his training videos. But I feel like he upped his rankings even more with his performance here. 

Not many people can make Aldo change his fight planning during the fight, even though the kick that broke his foot might of just been lucky/unlucky placement.
