No he gave him more of a chance because Aldo has been in tough spots before. John gives people who he knows who are known to tough it through more of a chance than say a dude he may not have seen. He’s said this before.
The funny thing is he was won the two previous rounds
He got tired and got caught by a 2 piece then Halloway came in with a measured, controlled, and heavy barrage that went undefended. Brazilians will always protest a stoppage even when dropped dead.
Sure aldo was moving, but he did not attempt to get up or just get into any sort of guard
I like Hunt but I hope Derrick Lewis wins. Hunt’s in his 40’s and Lewis, if he can some how not get slept by Hunt, has more of future in the sport. Plus the I like the dudes personality. I can get behind fighter with personality, as long as they perform in the cage.
He didn’t crumble under pressure. He was completely gassed. I’ve never seen a dude put his hands on his hips because he was so tired in a fight before.
Those 3 leg kicks mark landed in round 2 basically gave him the fight. Lewis lost his mobility and at so many shots. It was a good lesson for the dude though. Hunt looked so good last night.
That and the nigga are a plate of chicken and ribs just before the fight. I imagine that will fuck up one’s cardio.
The sad part is that I wish I was joking about the chicken and ribs part.
