GDT: UFC on ESPN: Font vs. Aldo

[dss97]

I thought Aldo won every round

The judges agreed.

 

[pistolpete11]

I had it 50-45 Aldo. It was closer than that might suggest, but also not really that close. Clean win for Aldo.

Would love for TJ to get back and not want to sit out and do TJ-Aldo. Probably won't happen, though.

 

[CDJ]

Aldo is still very damn good


Fiziev is a future title contender IMO

 

[MMC]

Fiziev vs Tony could be fun

 

[Taytro]

Fiziev vs Tony could be fun

Please no. Tony needs to fight another late 30s early 40s guy who he has a chance at beating. I really don't want to watch him forget what math is again.

 

[CDJ]

Plz don’t kill Tony Ferguson


FOTN went to Vlismas-Martin
POTN: Guida, Curtis, Hill, Fiziev

 

[CDJ]

Also for the record there’s no way Vlismas-Martin was better than Aldo-Font, Dana out here shooting his shot

Dana was out with Covid, right?

oh truuuuuu you’re right


Sean Shelby you dog! Going after Vlismas fresh off the divorce!

Guida is such an animal. I think a few other refs stop that fight on the knee to the chin.

I thought for sure that fight was getting stopped, but what an amazing comeback. That was special to watch

 

[pistolpete11]

If Guida would have ended up getting KO'ed, a lot of people would have been saying it was a late stoppage. I think Peterson did a good job in that situation, though. Guida was covering up, scrambling, shooting for takedowns, etc. It was close obviously, but I think he was doing enough to show that he was defending himself.

At the same time, I wouldn't have complained if it was stopped because Guida is nearly 40 years old and about 10 years removed from being a relevant fighter. No need for him to unnecessary damage.

I didn't care for the Aldo-Font outside of the first round tbh. Although I missed the Vlismas-Martin fight, so can't comment on that.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Aldo is one of the top 5 of all time. Crazy he’s still beating up the best fighters in the world all these years later.

You know I thought Aldo was pretty much done after he looked all anorexic to make weight and then he took that vicious beating that should have been stopped. He really has got it back together and just needs to work on that cardio. It still boggles my mind he didn't throw a leg kick in the 5th round last night. The dude was dropping nearly every time. It's like Adlo takes the first couple of minutes off every round, maybe it's his cardio.

 

[Killahpunk]

Aldo needs to utilize those kicks way more frequently. He barely threw it outside the 4th round despite it clearly affecting Font.

That’s been an issue with Aldo for a while. His leg kicks are maybe his most dangerous weapon, but he hasn’t treated them as such in many years.

I'm with you. Aldo spent so much of the fight just lying on Font doing very little.

The time they spent on the feet was good, though.

Ended up being one of the better ESPN cards of the year.

He spent the last 3 minutes of round 5 just laying on top of Font waiting for time to run out. The fight had some solid moments but I also didn't think overall it was amazing.

Completely agree about the card it was pretty awesome.

Where've you been?

Where've you been?

I just took a break for a bit.

I'm a Canucks fan and it was at the point where I wasn't interested in discussing the team until major organizational changes were made.

What did I miss? We've got a fighter's union and everyone is getting paid? Jon Jones stay out of trouble the last few months? Conor has had a quiet rehab and has avoided any altercations outside the cage?

 

[m9]

Seriously though, I've been around and watched every card as usual.

Okay, maybe I didn't watch all of that Ladd/Dumont card. That was rough.

'Major organizational changes' like trading J.T. Miller to the Penguins

Glad to have you back before a big PPV.
