Aldo has a claim as P4P best although I would still vote for GSP. I don't consider Gamburyan White so it does not bother me that Aldo destroyed him.Honestly I will only root against Aldo if he fights a White fighter.I give Josh Grispi a good shot at beating Aldo.

Good win for Homenick. I saw the Mexican judge scored the fight for Garcia.Any surprise?

Cerrone is improving and if he keeps fighting that way he could end up in the title mix in the UFC.

You only get your moneys worth in MMA with the WEC and Brock Lesnar.Other than that it's a crap shoot.
