UFC Vegas 44 full fight video highlights: Jose Aldo schools Rob Font

Check out the full fight video highlights of Rob Font vs. Jose Aldo from the UFC Vegas 44 main event.

The main event of UFC Vegas 44 was where the #4 ranked bantamweight, Rob Font, got taken to school by former 145-pound king, Jose Aldo, in a five-round decision. Font started hot, pushing a crazy pace and trying to storm Aldo’s castle. Then, in the final 10-seconds of the round, Aldo dropped Font with a crisp jab-cross, and tried to finish, but ran out of time. The second round saw another Aldo cross daze Font, but he didn’t drop from it and kept throwing back. The third round saw Aldo land a bunch of leg kicks, and even enjoyed a bit of time in top control. On the downside, Aldo came out of that round with a badly swollen right eye. The fourth frame was where Aldo cracked Font with another piston of a right hand that had him hurt. Aldo then took top position and kept it for quite some time. Aldo continued to be venomous in the final frame, hurting Font and then owning more control time on the ground.
