If you think those standups were good, please just stick to kickboxing - it's exactly what you want.

what did Rumble do at the weigh-ins?
showed up at 200# for a fight at 185#

actually I'd like to see Rumble vs. Tito next. If Rumble loses, he can blame bad conditioning, if Tito loses he can reveal he was actually paralyzed from the waist down during a freak injury in practice 2 days earlier but didn't want to make any excuses.

The sad thing is before he came to UFC nobody would ever think to say this. I guess the weight cuts have just been getting to him lately.
Yeah, arguing that those stand ups were good is pretty ridiculous.
Though even the unusually tentative Aldo of late is still dominant and easily outclasses his opponent. It's definitely more fun to see Aldo the monster; hopefully we'll get it tonight.

There was a time when Miguel Angel Torres was widely considered to be the top p4p fighter in the world too.
WEC was a lot of smoke and mirrors.
Terrible stand ups. But at the end of the day, fuck Rumble. So it's all good.

How foolish of him.
The guy manages to make 170 all the time but can't make 185 in the biggest fight of his career?

Rosenthal and Herzog are the best IMO.

Steve Mazzagatti would've let Rumble lay on Vitor with his back to the cage for the whole round. Those standups seemed arguably a little quick.
There is balance in the force.
he apparently cut so much weight (he was down to 187) his leg went numb and the docs made he rehydrate, thus blowing him up to 197.
eh he really wasn't managing the cut to 170 either, thats why he moved up
It's the same division...
Aldo has admitted to fighting safe since he became champion so not sure why everyone looks for another explanation.

I can't hear this song and not instantly think I'm playing Burnout. Platinum'd that bitch years ago.

He could very well steamroll WEC Fighter Chad Mendes but I think his fights against Kenny Florian and Machine Hominick showed that UFC competition is a step above what he was used to in the minor leagues.

This song makes me picture the Burnout Paradise title screen.
I hate GnR, but I cant deny my love for Burnout Paradise! *high five*
Hominick is mediocre. Dude hasn't beaten anyone since Yves Edwards 6 years ago.
I'd take Faber and Brown over Hominick all day.

He did it to support his ailing sister, very commendable of him. Urijah is the only one of those Team Alpha Male douches I actually like.

This fight could feature the loudest sustained booing on record. Or maybe Aldo will get his killer instinct back, but I doubt it.

I think Machine Hominick blows too but if there was a 6th round, he would have been FW champ.
