Print"I'm very focused on my mission. I've very excited to be fighting in the UFC for the first time and being able to defend my title. This is a dream come true. I'm going to be defending my UFC title in front of 55,000 people, I can't wait."
"I don't pay too much attention to what (Mark Hominick's) strengths and weaknesses are. I try to pay attention to all aspects of his game and focus on his movements. I don't pay attention to how technical or emotional he is. I just pay attention to what he does and prepare accordingly. I don't care ff I'm fighting in someone's backyard or not. At the end of the day, when they close the Octagon door, it's he and I in there. I don't hear the 55,000 people screaming. I've said it before; I don't know what the hell they're saying anyways, so it doesn't bother me."
"I will definitely beat Mark Hominick. If I didn't think I could then I wouldn't be here now. It's what I'm focused on, going in there, defending my title and winning."

I love that. This cat is so awesome.
Am I crazy to think that this isn't really a challenge?
Hominick’s last two losses are to Grispi and Yahya who are not world beaters by any stretch. George Roop, Leonard Garcia, Yves Jabouin, Bryan Caraway and Savant Young are his last 5 wins. Not one of them are in the top 25 and Roop and Garcia are 33 and 34 respectively.
I am really excited for the influx of lightweight dropouts like Florian, Stevenson and Griffin. After reviewing the USA/SB poll they need it at Featherweight.

I think Hominick definitely poses a threat given he beat a Savant......

I'm not really buying it either
Hominick looked great against Roop, but Aldo is a whole different ballgame. I have a really hard time seeing Aldo losing a stand-up battle at 145. Aldo is faster and his striking game is more diverse. I think it’s going to be a great fight that ends in a hurry.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.

seen it before, but i just realized how amazing the landing of the backflip at the end of the video (off the cage) is.. almost impossible to land it the way he does. o_O

Actually landing it on the twist isn't much harder than landing straight.
You natural momentum when doing a back flip is a slight twisting motion, it takes much more control to land w/out twisting.

Hominick is on a good roll and is a logical contender..
mostly because he’s Canadian. He’s got great stand-up and smashed Roop recently, but the big attraction of this fight is being able to bill a top Canadian fighter against the FW champ. Dana knows this 100% and capitalized on it, because Hominick is good enough to sell as a contender, but not good enough to win IMO.
Those fucking kicks he throws make me cringe. I'll never get this picture out of my mind

Those subtitles are ridiculously wrong
I don’t know who made the translation for the UFC, but they don’t match what Aldo said.
Aldo's got all the tools to win this fight.
Yves Jabouin dropped Hominick, Aldo can definitely finish him.
I think we are gonna see some more awesome post fight celebration from him.
