Jose Aldo Stops Mike Brown In Second Round; Wins WEC Featherweight Championship

I have a feeling we may be watching Aldo with that title for a very long time.

Jose Aldo looked extremely impressive in stopping Mike Brown in the second round of their WEC 44 Featherweight Championship bout. While the first round was close it was clear that Brown was in trouble. Aldo was much quicker and able to land strikes with frequency. As soon as Brown was able to get Aldo against the cage and couldn’t complete a takedown it became a desperate situation for the champion.

In the second round Brown pushed forward looking to try to force Jose to back up and slow down his game but instead ate a flurry of punches, knees and kicks. It appeared as though the champion thought that he may be able to pull the Brazilian to the ground and into a guillotine choke but instead slid off. Aldo didn’t hesitate and pounced on Brown, quickly moving to the mount. Knowing he was in trouble Brown gave up his back only to eat punch after punch to the side of his head forcing the referee to stop the fight.
