Jose Aldo’s Flying Knee Knockout Highlights WEC 41

Total Pro Sports - The other night marked round 2 of the battle between world class featherweights Urijah Faber and Mike Brown at the World Extreme Cagefighting 41.  It was a great bout between two top athletes in the sport, but once again it was Mike Brown coming out on top, this time by unanimous decision.

Hyped as such, it was clearly the fight of the night with both combatants giving everything they had, and unfortunately for Faber that wasn't enough as he had to make due with a broken hand he sustained early on in the fight.  Nonetheless, the former champion did not quit and made things interesting at several points, attempting to land elbows rather than punches and almost executing a submission attempt at one point.  In the end it was Brown who would have his hand raised, leaving us to ponder who his next challenger will be.  If the fights were any indication, Mike Brown may not have to look far for his next opponent.  Although he and Faber provided fans with the "fight of the night," the most impressive outing came from fellow featherweight Jose Aldo.  He ended his bout against Cub Swanson just 8 seconds in with a flying knee to the head, clearly earning "KO of the night" honors and setting the stage for discussions on the possibility of a Brown vs Aldo title match.  Regarding such, Aldo stated the following:

"I'm ready.  It's something that WEC has to decide, but I'm ready. I want to fight a title shot, and trust me, when I get the title, I'm going to keep it." [Fan House]

What better way to make an impression than to put away your opponent just second in with such efficiency.  This KO is clearly right up there with,

Should we have the opportunity to see Brown vs Aldo, expect nothing less than an all out war.

For now, here is the flying knee of Jose Aldo.

      Jose Aldo is a beast. Mike Brown is going to have a far tougher time with the dangerous Brazilian than he did with Faber.

      I like the hubris at the end over the cheap lucky win. It’s not like you did that on purpose…

      Should be a good one between Brown and Aldo, although I might add that Brown fought a guy with a broken hand to a decision…to a decision….to a decision…I would even venture to say that Brown would have lost handily, no pun intended, to faber without a broken hand.

    8. FightFan says:

      That was a great knee, but Jose Aldo acts like a tool. See him jumping about like that? I don’t care how good a fighter you are, there’s really no respect to be gained by flouncing about like an idiot – even if you’ve just scored the best knockout ever. Do all cage fighters act like this?

    9. Peter says:

      Oh come on, right after that first hit, he was DOWN.
      No need to punch him again , then AGAIN.

      Then with the whole cocky attitude.
      Sure, be happy, excited, it was cool, but not a good personality at all.
      Smugness ruins it.

    10. NotPeter says:

      Peter, he has to keep hitting him until the ref tells him to stop. Fights have been lost by fighters who hesitate in that situation.
