Jose Aldo defeats Mark Hominick by unanimous decision (Fight of the night, IMHO. Hominick had one of the largest hematomas I've ever seen on a fighter. He literally looked like the Elephant Man at the end of this fight!)

George St. Pierre defeats Jake Shields by unanimous decision

Great PPV

Aldo got tired but definitally won that fight and Homiding did look seriously effed up b ut he hung in there and did some dammage late.

The Sheilds St. Piere fight was boring. I don't know how its wasn't 30-25 for everycard as Sheilds basically didn't do much, but neither to St. Piere really. He danced around landed many more strikes and took Sheilds to the matt a couple of times but would get right back up. Sheilds landed a knuckle on St. Pieres left eye that made him unable to see out of it, kind of a freak thing but it make St. Piere even more cautious.

Sheilds desperitally needs to develope some sort of damaging standup to force people to defend so he can get them on the ground otherwise we will only get really boring fights where guys dance around ans smack him but refuse to engage him on the matt.

The PPV was very good but the final match was a long and lame considering what we saw before it all night.

GSP vs. Shields was the worst fight of the night. They freakin' danced around the entire fight.

Damn, people pay good money to watch this schtuff and that's the best you got. WWE has better fights than that.

I agree it wasn't that good, but GSP's vision in his left eye was badly blurred. You could tell he was having problems seeing punches coming at him after that. I think he would have tried to finish Shields had that not happened. He was playing it safe because he was ahead in rounds. GSP fought the right fight trying to keep it on their feet. Shields is more dangerous on the ground.

I agree Buddha and thats exactly why I hope we don't have to watch Shields again. He makes the fights boring because the other guy is always better off dancing around and tossing in a few strikes here and there.

In fights like that one, the owner should jump in and say, "Either you two start fighting or you don't get paid tonight!" It was like watching DWTS more than it was watching UFC.
