WOW. This was a really good fight too! No one gave Brown a hope in hell, but he came out and brought his Legit Game. At first, Aldo was doing his thing, but Brown used effective technique to make his VERY few shots in the first round count. As the fight progressed, Brown got more confident and definitely won the later rounds. In the end, no one was SUPER close to a finish, and the damage was almost even (I left it in for fun), but Brown exceeded many expectations of him and I dig it.
Mike Brown looks like he has been waiting for this fight forever.

WOW. This was a really good fight too! No one gave Brown a hope in hell, but he came out and brought his Legit Game. At first, Aldo was doing his thing, but Brown used effective technique to make his VERY few shots in the first round count. As the fight progressed, Brown got more confident and definitely won the later rounds. In the end, no one was SUPER close to a finish, and the damage was almost even (I left it in for fun), but Brown exceeded many expectations of him and I dig it.
