Heart of a champion, head of Quasimodo. On the bright side, this is a star-making loss for Mark Hominick. He gave Jose Aldo everything he could handle (especially in the dominant finish to the fifth round), and picked up tons of new fans in the process. Now somebody get that kid an Aspirin…
I liked how they tried to put a hat on him after the fight and it wouldn’t fit! Maybe they should have hund the hat on the bump. Sorry sponsor no publicity for you!
It was reported that all Hominick wanted after the fight was , “a little head!”
I love that even though Hominick lost, his post fight interview included giving thanks the referee for not stopping the fight. The dude has huge balls.
Not sure what was wrong with Aldo from the get-go but he looked tired/hesitant. That being said, his head movement was still fucking unreal!
God damn that was nasty. Have the scores been recounted for this one BTW? I heard 50-43 at the time which sounded insane but the Aftermath article is saying 48-45, 48-46 an 49-46, which is a whole lot more reasonable.
He definitely needs a nickname now:
How about: Mark “Why sure I’d love an extra scoop of mashed potatoes with ketchup!” Hominick.
Or
Mark “It’s not a Tumor” Hominick
He looks like the white version of Gumby. Is it just me, or is stepping into the ring with Aldo a guarantee of having your body mutilated? Aldo’s corner should be filled with plastic surgeons.
Medically – Jose Aldo happened.
That said, fuck… did Hominick bring it or what? That guy undoubtedly deserves his nickname.
I would like someone to explain medically wth happened to his head.
…Could have been worse.
You could have been Crane Kicked into retirement.
thats how you man up and finish a fight, props to Mark
That will make for some sweet newborn family photos. His wife must be thrilled.
That thing started off looking like a goose-egg…ended up more like an ostrich-egg.
As for the card as whole, I thought it was pretty damn good. The main event was a snoozer, but even it wasn’t as bad as some of us thought it could be. I can’t beleive people are complaining about this being a shitty card…d-bags need to stick to other sports.
Aldo felt so Festive this year he was still giving out Easter Eggs!
Mark Hominicks head looked more swollen than Karma’s head after a gay rear naked choke victory over someone shittier than himself.
Excellent night of fights! Way to show’em what your made of Hommi. I knew ya had it in ya. Prelims were even better than the main card with exception to the Machida KO and this fight. that as wonderful to see. Poor Randy, guess thats why your so adamant about truely retiring this time huh? Randy will forever be a Ledgend in my mind.
A password will be e-mailed to you.
Looks like he just stepped out of the telepod that turned Eric Stoltz into the Fly
