Aldo just to quick, wins title
WEC 44 is now in the books and the featherweight division has a new champion. In Mike Browns third title defense he had no real answer for the much quicker Jose Aldo. Brown was able to get Aldo up against the cage in round one and landed some nice knees to the legs of Aldo but Brown was not able to get the takedown. Aldo comes out swinging in round two, Brown slipped and went to the ground where Aldo wouldn’t let him up. brown rolls to try and get away and give up his back where Aldo takes his back, flattens him out and punishes him until the ref. stops the fight. Jose Aldo wins and is the new WEC Featherweight champion of the world. (Jose Aldo wins KO of the Night – $10,000)
