Jose Aldo Defeats Mark Hominick in a Classic Fight at UFC 129
by Michael David Smith
In a classic fight before 55,000 fans at UFC 129 in Toronto, Jose Aldo dominated Mark Hominick for the better part of four rounds — only to get dominated himself in the fifth and final round and hold on to win a surprisingly competitive unanimous decision.
Aldo retained his UFC featherweight title, but Hominick gained a huge amount of respect for the heart he showed, continuing to fight despite Aldo turning his face into a bruised, bloody mess.
“Take your hat off in congratulations to Mark Hominick,” Aldo said after the fight. “He’s a hell of a fighter, and he came out for five rounds, giving his all.”
But while Hominick showed he was a hell of a fighter in the fifth round, Aldo definitely won the first four.
