Watching Bellator, as I did last night, is kind of a chore. It's crazy the production difference between UFC and Bellator. Hell, Strikeforce has been defunct for almost a decade and their production/entertainment value ****s all over the current Bellator product.

feel like Aldo's gameplan in this fight was really smart. in multiple rounds he hurt Font on the feet, then instead of going all out for the finish, he took the fight to the ground and simply controlled him for the rest of the round.

He never did a lot of damage (if any damage, to be honest) on the ground, but he was already ahead in the round every time the fight went there, so he all he needed to do was control.

And without trying to do too much damage, he was able to focus 100% on control, and avoid giving Font any window to get up and take the round back.

He also made sure he didn't gas out trying to get a finish, like Santos did earlier.

All up just an extremely smart fight from Jose. Of course, to execute his game plan he had to put damage on Font on the feet, and he did that with some big time power. leg kicks were devastating when he went to those as well.

would love to see Aldo vs Dillashaw now. Great matchup between two legends of the sport.
