With stacked Cards like UFC 126 and UFC 130, people are wondering why "The biggest show ever" is not as stacked.
Well, It just got a little bit bigger.
UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo will make his UFC Debut on April 30th, infront of an estimated 50,00 fans at Toronto's Rogers Centre. Aldo, who is 18-1 will fight Canadian Mark Hominick, who trains 3 hours outside of Toronto, In London, Ontario, unless George Roop upsets the Canuck. Aldo is coming off Wins over Manvel Gamburyan and Urijah Faber, improving his record to 18-1, making him a top 3 P4P fighter.
The UFC didnt stop there- 6 other fights were officially announced for UFC 129. A much anticipated bout between undefeated phenom Phil Davis, and rising star Matt Hamill has been announced for UFC 129. Davis is 8-0, while Hamill is 10-2, with his only 2 losses being to Rich Franklin and Michael Bisping. Hamill holds a notable win over Jon Jones, although it is highly disputed.
The 5 other fights are Mark Bocek (Coming off a win over Dustin Hazelett in December) vs Former WEC Lightweight champion Ben "Smooth" Henderson, Jason McDonald vs Ryan Jensen, and Torontonian Sean Pierson will fight Brian Foster. El-Savadorian/Canadian Ivan Menjivar (Yes, the Ivan Menjivar who lost to GSP in his MMA Debut) will fight Charlie Valencia. Lastly, TUF 12 alumni Kyle Watson will fight John Makdessi, who just DESTROYED Pat Audinwood at UFC 124.
So far, the card is shaping out to be a beauty.
