Prediction: correct Aldo   correct Decision  

I say it in almost every Aldo-related thread, but I really want to see a rematch between Hominick and Aldo.  I think The Machine could pull it off the second time around.

Prediction: correct Aldo   wrong Submission   wrong Round 4  

I would love to see Hominick get another crack at Aldo as well.

As much as I love The Korean Zombie, I hope Hominick gets a big win, and gets another title shot, or at least a title eliminator.

Prediction: correct Aldo   correct Decision  

Also, I'm not sure who I had the discussion with, or which thread it was in, but I said that I thought Aldo beat Hominick in their first match-up, and I was told to go back and watch the fight again.  They just so happened to have shown the fight the other day on SPIKE, and I sat there and watched it all over again.  I have to agree that Aldo it, but I believe it was closer than a lot of people say it was.  I thought Hominick pulled out two rounds, with Aldo winning three rounds (and a clear 10-8 round as well.)  Hominick hurt Aldo a couple of times in that fight, but allowed Aldo to recover.  I think in a rematch, The Machine would not let up, and could pull out a TKO victory.

Prediction: correct Aldo   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

As much as Aldo didn't impress me in his last fight, I can't justify picking against him.  Aldo will probably knock Florian out.  Although I'm rooting for the Boston boy

Prediction: correct Aldo   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I think it is going to start out close, and as time goes on i see Aldo chopping down Florians legs and doing whatever he wants in the later rounds. I could see it going the other way as well though.

Prediction: correct Aldo   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

I could see Floran slowing Aldo down using similar tactics to his fight with BJ Penn from August of 2009, but ultimately I see Aldo getting a late stoppage.

@skelliher.. I really dont understand picking Aldo by submission. He has one sub win in his career and Kenny has top notch bjj.. Im sorry I just dont understand that pick.

Prediction: correct Aldo   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

I think Kenny's harder to KO than to Sub, and I could see Aldo wearing on him with strikes until Florian offers up the Sub. Don't forget that just because Aldo has shown himself to be a KO artist, that doesn't take away from the fact that he's a high level BJJ black belt.

Thats true but he hasnt shown it in the cage. I highly doubt his first sub will be Kenny. Will be the opposite :) haha. And Aldo's only loss is by submission!

I can see Aldo subbmitting him, but only by RNC. Aldo was doing BJJ well before he started any striking. Not to mention the only time Florian has shown effect BJJ is when he's on top. Put Florian on his back and he will be defeated.

Florians best shot is to try and lay on Aldo and considering Aldo's got good tdd..its not gonna happen.
