UFC Vegas 44 looked great on paper, and delivered big on the night. Jose Aldo and Rob Font put together a fantastic five round scrap. Rafael Fiziev and Brad Riddell had a thrilling, power-striking chess match in the co-main event. And Jamahal HIll absolutely beat the breaks off Jim Crute.
So, is Aldo primed for another shot at bantamweight gold? Is it time for the UFC to get Fiziev a top 10 opponent? And has Manel Kape once again turned himself into a man to watch in the flyweight division.
To answer those questions – and a whole lot more – I’ll be using the classic Silva/Shelby fight booking methodology from the UFC of years past.
