UFC 129

There is an upcoming event this month April 30th. Headlining the card is a match between Georges St-Pierre and  Jake Shields. It will be a welterweight match. The co-main event will be Jose Aldo vs Mark Hominick at featherweight. Both events are 5 rounds, 3 minute championship bouts. St-Pierre seems to have the advantage when it comes to stand-up. He's been working with Freddie Roach recently, a famous boxing coach who trains Manny Pacquiao. St-Pierre displayed good use of the jab, which is underused in MMA. It results show in his bout against Josh Koscheck when you look at his swollen shut eye. St-Pierre's record is 21-2. 8 knockouts and 5 submissions, the rest decision wins. On a 8 fight win streak.

Jose Aldo is just a pure monster when it comes to MMA. His ground game is good and his Muay Thai is superb. Being proficient in both Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jutsu allows him to dictate where the fight will go. Wrestlers might have a chance against him if they can take him down and stay on top. If they're not careful he will will pull off a submission off his back. Aldo's record is 18-1 with 12 wins by knockout and 2 by submission. He's currently on a 11 fight win streak.
