Right off the bat, Diego came out the aggressor, and did some good damage early. Aldo was never able to recover from that, and was just not himself this fight. He does have GOOD health, and took tough-guy damage, instead of girly-man damage. But he needs offense, and Diego needs to lay off the roids. Too much rage.
