SACRAMENTO, Calif. – A famous Cincinnati Reds hurler once said that
pitching in Dodger Stadium was like wearing a suit of pork chops in a
lion’s den.
WEC featherweight champion Jose Aldo experienced mixed martial arts’
equivalent of that – fighting “The California Kid” Urijah Faber in his
hometown – and successfully tamed a 145-pound lion.
The fight capped off WEC 48, World Extreme Cagefighting’s pay-per-view
debut, and took place in front of a soldout crowd at ARCO Arena in
Sacramento, Calif.
