Jose Aldo beats Mark Hominick at UFC 129.In a classic fight before 55,000 fans at UFC 129 in Toronto, Jose Aldo dominated Mark Hominick for the better part of four rounds — only to get dominated himself in the fifth and final round and hold on to win a surprisingly competitive unanimous decision.

Aldo retained his UFC featherweight title, but Hominick gained a huge amount of respect for the heart he showed, continuing to fight despite Aldo turning his face into a bruised, bloody mess.

“Take your hat off in congratulations to Mark Hominick,” Aldo said after the fight. “He’s a hell of a fighter, and he came out for five rounds, giving his all.”

But while Hominick showed he was a hell of a fighter in the fifth round, Aldo definitely won the first four.

TORONTO — One young, athletic champion is at the center of the storm as the UFC takes over the city for its biggest show ever, and the other young, athletic champion is nearly forgotten.

This is Georges St. Pierre‘s world, and wherever you turn, there is something there to remind you of it. There are billboards and commercials, he’s on television and in the newspapers. And when you drive along some streets near the busy Gardiner Expressway, his picture graces UFC 129 banners high atop streetlights.

Close by but seemingly a world away is Jose Aldo, the dynamic Brazilian phenom who also happens to be the UFC featherweight champion and a consensus top five pound-for-pound fighter. In any other MMA universe, someone of that status and caliber couldn’t possibly go unnoticed and unrecognized, but earlier this week, Aldo sat in a press conference for 40 minutes until fielding his first question.
