Mark Hominick showed tremendous heart in his UFC 129 bout with Jose Aldo. Although he came up short in his bid to win the featherweight title in it's first ever defense in the world's largest promotion, Hominick has nothing to be ashamed of. Despite developing a huge hematoma at the hands of Aldo, Hominick dominated the final round of the bout, arguably earning a 10-8. That final round has Hominick sure that he would have taken the fight if only it were one round longer, as he tells the London Free Press:
"I came in a 4-1 underdog," Hominick said. "A lot of people didn’t think I would last a round. I lasted all five. If there was a sixth round, I would have won."
If he had another minute, he might have won.
"I knew he was running out of steam. I could hear him breathing hard after the first two rounds."
Of course, it does appear that Aldo was suffering from an illness heading in as well.
A rematch is incredibly interesting but it appears that will probably have to wait as Chad Mendes probably gets the next shot at Aldo's title.

Yeah,
Aldo gave Mark the business in round 1, broke even in round 2, clearly won 3 and 4. The only round Hominick even won was round 5, and if you call that a 10-8 then you also need to call round 1 as a 10-8 for Aldo.

Yeah, I thought Jose was gonna run out of steam, but
if he needed to win another round then he would have won it.
I think the judges did call round 1 a 10-8. 48-45, 48-46, 49-46. Two of the judges had a SECOND 10-8 round for Aldo. Apparently the Canadian air makes them better judges.
Which round?
Aldo scored a knockdown in the 4’th, right? Or was it the 3’rd round flurry of hammerfists?

Pssh
No lie. I like how they claim an extra round would have tilted the fight in their favor. Three isn’t enough and apparently five isn’t either. Tch.

That may be true.
But, I’m totally picking Jake Shields over you in a thumb war.
Honey badger don't care.
Fighting Aldo (or any other PvP fighter) in a thumb war
is like not letting the a wookie win the holographic game you’re playing. You might be able to beat him, but that’s not really the best strategy.

Props to MH for the fight
Showed a lot of heart, really surprised and impressed me.
But if he is going to keep saying crap like that, I will throw all that respect out the window.
You fought your best, you lost, you have a baseball stuck on your forehead from the loss, now move on.
Aldo was gassed since the 2nd round
and still kicked Hominick’s ass. From the looks of it Aldo was really just chilling on the ground during the fifth. If anything he would have probably come back stronger if there was a sixth (which is a stupid fucking idea)
The story of this fight was aldo's power and hominick's lackthereof
Hominick would land a 3 or 4 nice jabs and then get dropped with one straight right from aldo. Even in the last round aldo was able to rock hominick with one punch and even when hominick got on top and landed like 50 punches he was never able to hurt aldo.
The guy is on to something. I also honestly believe Chael Sonnen would have beaten Anderson Silva if submissions were illegal. I’m with you brother!

If submissions were illegal then Chael Sonnen would be the #1 P4P MW in the world
Although it’s still possible Anderson would knock him the F out.

Steroids already is illegal.
So on second thought Chael would’ve had his belt stripped.

Not so much
If it were a 6 round fight, Aldo would have waited to the 6th round to relax on his back.

Aldo sure looked exhausted after the 2nd round.

he did look eshausted, that was actually pretty low energy compared to how Aldo usually fights.

He still looked very on point
Which is freaking amazing.
Let the fighters fight, let the referees ref, but dear God, don't let the judges judge.
He was exhaused
Which is what makes the beating he gave Hominick so scary. When he dropped him in the (Third?) and went down to finish him off, you could see it was purely a lack of energy that allowed Hominick to continue. Aldo has awesome killer instinct, normally that’s the end of Hominicks night.

but...
Hominick was outboxing Aldo!

Rogan I swear said Aldo was down when Aldo dropped Hominick

that's hilarious and wouldn't surprise me
I went back to the Portuguese transmission once he said Hominick was outboxing Aldo, I knew there was a reason I stopped listening to Rogan p
not always will those who dumps on you be your enemies
and not always will those who take you out of shit be your friends
The Portuguese transmission is utterly inferior to the original one. Joe makes bad calls sometimes, yes, but everything about the Portuguese one is amateurish and poorly done.
it used to be like that
but they have gotten way better at it, you should give them another chance. I don’t find them as biased as Joe can be to be honest, even with Brazilian fighters, and that’s the most annoying thing to me.
not always will those who dumps on you be your enemies
and not always will those who take you out of shit be your friends
He did
I just watched it and as he was singing Hominick’s praises Hominick went down and Rogan said “Aldo’s hurt! Aldo’s down!”
"I will do nothing lightly. When I walk, I will walk heavily. When I fight, I will fight with conviction. When I speak, I will speak strongly. When I love, I will love with everything"
You're insane if you seriously believe Aldo was taking the 5th off
As he ate several shots to his wide-open head.
Still, Hominick would’ve probably gotten dropped in the 6th as Aldo comes up with the strength for a flying knee.

You really think Aldo wouldn’t have put more energy into not getting punched in the face if it wasn’t the last round? If so, then you’re crazy.

I'm sure he didn't plan to stay on the bottom eating punches before the beginning of the fifth round
but I think he welcomed it once he got taken down and was just waiting for the end of the fight.

Yea you don’t really take rounds off if there isn’t a round after the one your in. The purpose of taking a round off is to save yourself for later. In the middle to end of round 5, there is no later, Aldo was just gassed…
He more than likely took the round off. He new he had rounds 1, 3, & 4 in the bag. He probably did not want to cause Hominick’s forehead to burst. He took it easy on him by “resting” on his back. He avoided most of the head shots that Hominick was throwing. He took some hard body shots and was probably exhausted, but was still aware of abilities Hominick possessed.
He did the same thing in the Faber fight. He has compassion, which is a plus and much as a minus in the fight game.
He took the round off...
Seriously, disagree with the notion that taking a round off is only when you have another round to go. Aldo knew he was winning, was exhausted and decided to lay on his back and cruise to a decision Brazilian style, playing open guard off of his back. He made Mark look like the frigging elephant man, took him down several times, dropped him several times, and then kicked back.

Would be the best fighter alive if fights were only 1 five minute round.
"I will do nothing lightly. When I walk, I will walk heavily. When I fight, I will fight with conviction. When I speak, I will speak strongly. When I love, I will love with everything"
This would be relevant If a 6th round existed.
Fact of the matter is, a gassed Aldo still gave Hominick the beating of his life. If they do meet again, he doesn’t make it past Round 3 against a fully conditioned Jose.

sure mark whatever you say
the bill i won off my buddy who bet me against aldo is even sweeter now haha
You must defeat me to stand a chance.
what's with all the haters?
mark got his ass kicked in that fight and i’m not remotely interested in a rematch.
but do you honestly not care that he appeared to be getting stronger and stronger as the fight when on? does it not mean anything to you to be coming on stronger towards the end? to me, that’s a significant “moral” victory. there’s no reason why he shouldn’t be proud of that. at the end of that fight they had to pry him off of Aldo.
you guys are taking him way too literally. he knows there’s no sixth round and that he got destroyed. he still has every right to be proud of his effort.

for me
he gained a lot of respect when the fight was over for the amount of heart he had and for finishing strong. but after these remarks he just appears to be a sore loser so he lost all the respect he gained, that’s just me though.

Disagree
You’re making too much out of this. He put up a solid performance and laid a beating on Aldo in the last round. Hominick in general comes off as a humble guy and nothing he says here spells of sore loser to me. After how the last round went, do you disagree Mark could have very won the “sixth” if there was one? What is so bad about the comment that Aldo was breathing hard after the second round? I saw it clearly myself.
He’s a confident guy and he put up a warriors effort, he’s not complaining about anything and isn’t selling Aldo short either.
by Horselover Fat on May 3, 2011 9:56 AM EDT up reply actions
it's a moot point
there is no sixth round, so who cares? and there’s nothing ‘humble’ about saying Aldo doesn’t want another piece of him IMO. but hey, like I said, ‘for me’…
not always will those who dumps on you be your enemies
and not always will those who take you out of shit be your friends
Yeah. Well, again I disagree, but opinions differ and that’s fine. It wasn’t just your post but the majority of the thread were much worse, making fun of Hominick and saying silly stuff, which I guess kind of made me a little bit angry and annoyed. Ended up voicing my opinion in reply to you which was kind of at the bottom at the time. I think he deserves a lot of respect for his efforts, and these small comments don’t take anything away from that for me, but I guess I can see why it would for some.
by Horselover Fat on May 3, 2011 1:48 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah he lasted 5 rds
But he pretty much got schooled. At no point was Aldo in danger in that last round and the only reason Hominick looked good in that round is because Aldo decided to lay on his back all round.
Remember how many leg kicks Aldo hit Faber with in the 5th round of their fight
For as violent as Aldo can be, if a guy can survive to the 5th round he takes it easy on them.
He goes for the finish and does major visible damage to his opponents, but this is the second time he has taken it easy on a guy who is tough enough to hang with him.
Forget Scarface, he is Jose “The Merciful” Aldo.
People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.
