The Brazilian José Aldo will put the featherweight belt on the line at UFC 129, an event that takes place on April 30, in Toronto. Known for his aggressive style, the Brazilian athlete did not give chances to his last opponents, but to Shawn Tompkins, coach of Mark hominick, the Brazilian's next opponent, Aldo did not face an opponent like the Canadian fighter. According to the commander, his pupil has very fast hands and could become the new UFC champion
“I think he (José Aldo) wins fights because he moves forward. No one who has fought him has moved forward. Everyone Aldo has faced has been wrestlers trying to fight on their feet. None of them have Hominick's hand speed, not even Aldo,” Tompkins told MMA Canada. For Shawn, despite the respect, Hominick will not go to the Octagon out of fear of the Brazilian.
“We respect him, he is a great fighter but we will not go into the fight afraid of him” he concluded.
