Brownie didn’t look confident and didn’t look like he had a game plan. Aldo didn’t get overly aggressive and appears to have good grappling. Unlike most people I’m not above admitting I was wrong.

Congrats to Aldo, he’ll probably be there a while.

ALDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a match up for the ages for sure, but ya gotta go with Brownie here. Aldo hasn’t faced anyone of his calibre and if he get’s overly aggressive it will not benefit him here. Dunno much about Aldo’s grappling and ground game but I’m betting Brownie is better and more powerful and will dominate him there and this will be the difference in the fight.

Sorry Aldo, get ready for a rude awakening.

Brown via rear-naked R3

I think superflat means he doesn’t get overly aggressive and leave himself open much. Sure, a flying knee is pretty risky, but he throws them wisely.

He’s explosive and has knockout power but doesn’t get overly aggressive trying to overwhelm his opponents like say, Zaromskis

that being said, throwing things like flying knees against Brown will be a lot more risky than his previous opponents, as we have seen from the Faber-elbow

Fellow DirecTV subscribers……help a brother out….justin.tv? Where to go for live stream??

superflat….id say that throwing a double flying knee has some risk to it. what do you mean by not taking risks? (im asking that seriously, not in a jackass sorta way).

the thing ive noticed about aldo is that he throws a hell of alot of leg kicks. curious to know how brown deals with that if thats what aldo decides to do.

I just want to apologize to those of you with direct tv, its how i feel about Comcast not carrying HDNET

I don’t care who wins this should be a hell of a fight. The main reason I’m thinking, is because theres no Canadians involved!

BOOOO! BOOOO! BOOOO! CANADA/CANADIAN DOCTORS!

The explosive fighter vs. the rock. Only, watching Aldo, he doesn’t really seem to take risks, he’s just really good at capitalizing. But Brown doesn’t make mistakes. All I can say is that Aldo looks like the kind of fighter who would destroy Faber.

Uggghh….that knee to Swanson’s eye is just vicious! Nasty cut too…

@ Soda:

Agreed…Aldo is indeed a mystery. We all know that Brown has a ton of heart and great technique to compliment his fighting spirit, hence that heavy gold thing that holds his trunks up… But Aldo??? This dude doesn’t give us a chance to see his full arsenal cause he seems be in a hurry to get somewhere else… A lot of questions are gonna be laid to rest tonight… I got Direct TV, soooo livebloggs it is

id probably agree with you portland. but you always have to wonder with a guy like aldo if brown has ever fought a guy like aldo.

i think aldo is still a bit of a mystery to alot of people. this fight will for sure either solidify aldo as a certified bad ass or put mike brown in the category of, “dang dude, it sucks alot of people dont know who you are”.

under 5 hours till the fights begin!

“im loving it”- mcdonalds

I violently hate that Ditect TV and Versus arnt friends! My night is ruined… Regardless, I hope its a great event, and may the best fighters win

This is a tough fight to call because Aldo hasn’t fought a guy of Brown’s caliber yet, but at the same time Aldo’s athleticism and explosiveness is insane. I’m going to go with Brown on this one though.

it still blows my mind that both of those knees connected.

i think he beats brown tonight. not sure how, but i think it happens.

if so, this guys gonna be on top for a while.

thats what she said.

sorry.
