UFC 136 results recap: Jose Aldo vs Kenny Florian fight review and analysis

Getty Images” class=”cap has-data-cap”>Photo by Josh Hedges via Getty Images

Jose Aldo is an incredibly difficult man to plan for.

With his explosiveness, elusiveness and unpredictability in the cage, challenger Kenny Florian had his hands full when he stepped into the Octagon last night (October 8, 2011) in an attempt to take Aldo’s UFC featherweight title in the co-main event of UFC 136.

So maybe that’s why Florian turned it into a grueling, grind-em-out and ugly affair over the course of five rounds.

Regardless, when it was all said and done, the judges unanimously handed Aldo the victory with a score of 49-46 across the board.

So what did Aldo do correct to sway them? And how did Florian’s strategy fail to impress?

If Kenny Florian won a round last night, it was the first. He came out, took advantage of Aldo’s slow start and really put the champion on the defensive with his repeated takedown attempts along the fence, actually scoring a couple even if they were brief.

From then on, I don’t think Florian was credited with a takedown for the rest of the fight, but it didn’t stop him from trying. I believe Fightmetric credited “Ken-Flo” with one out of 19 attempts to take the fight down. That’s not very good odds.

Meanwhile, Aldo was doing a lot of this:

It seemed that whenever the fight would finally get reset to the standing realm, Aldo would connect with something, whether it was a straight punch, a kick or a swift combination.

Florian was only able to stall him out with those takedown attempts.

The fight is judged based on effective striking, grappling, aggression and Octagon control and in that order.

With how easily Aldo was in control of the striking department, it didn’t matter one bit that Florian was pressing him against the fence so much (although it was certainly annoying), what mattered was the damage Aldo was able to inflict when he finally got some room to attack.

The champion also did a nice job of attacking on the ground on the few occasions where he found himself in top position after a failed takedown attempt from Florian. Aldo aggressively looked to pass guard, something he didn’t try at UFC 129 against Mark Hominick and that also helped turned the tide in his favor.

In the end, Aldo’s only truly dominant round was the third, but Florian’s inability to get any offense going whatsoever other than those clinch attempts along the cage was enough to frustrate the judges and allow them to score the fight in favor of the champion.

For Kenny Florian, you can’t blame him for slowing down the pace of the fight and not standing toe-to-toe with the champion in the stand-up department. No one has ever been able to do that successfully. I just wish he’d done something more than just hang on in the clinch and look for the takedown when he had the champ pinned against the fence. He only really threw his razor sharp elbows one time when he had Aldo trapped, that’s an embarrassingly low amount of times to be using his most effective weapon.

Florian has been labeled a “choker” by some for his performances in title fights, but that wasn’t the case last night. He did was he had to do to give himself a chance against a younger, faster and more dangerous fighter in Aldo. He simply didn’t do enough. He’s now resigned to the fact that he’ll probably never get a title shot again and at 35 years old, he probably won’t be wanting to fight for much longer if at all. If he decided to stick around, look for Florian to play spoiler in the featherweight division. He could face someone like Manny Gamburyan next, or perhaps the loser of the upcoming George Roop vs. Hatsu Hioki fight.

For Jose Aldo, sure he won, but he didn’t gain any fans with his performance last night. What happened to the fighter that exploded out of the gate with a flying double knee and stopped Cub Swanson in eight seconds? It seemed like he gave Florian way too much respect last night and never truly followed up when he landed a significant strike. His killer instinct was nowhere to be found and on a night where he should have been turning himself into a star against an established UFC name, he simply didn’t do it.

Aldo will almost certainly face Team Alpha Male fighter Chad Mendes in his next bout, and that likely won’t be a barnburner either. If he’s able to retain the title, it could be a while until we see him fight to his true potential.

So what did you think, Maniacs?

Did Florian do what was necessary to give himself a chance last night? Or was it another choke job in a career of playing second fiddle in the big fights? Why is Jose Aldo not winning fans over in the UFC right now?

Sound off!

Bottle Opener Phone Cases for HTC Evo, Blackberry and Collegiate-Licensed Bottle Opener Cases

This ingeniously cool phone case features an integrated stainless steel bottle opener in a protective, rubberized, hard-shell case. It even opens pesky, hard-to-open can tabs. This stylish case is the world’s FIRST AND ONLY case that comes with a FREE APP! We put the “app” in happy hour! The App counts the brews you pop, displays pictures (from your library) and plays your songs/sounds of choice every time it cracks open a cold one. You can also set specific counters and track where you have been as you pop-tops. With the Free App, users can check-in with FaceBook, Twitter and FourSquare when opening a bottle or can! (http://www.BeAHeadcase.com/freeapp)

“Everyone needs a phone case. Why not buy a case that is fun AND functional? The bottle opener will not affect phone signal and the case itself is slim with a raised front edge to protect your screen.” says Dean Monaco President of Be A HeadCase.com.

Sun, 18 Sep 2011 20:46:29 -0400

The Great American Beer festival is not only about sampling quality beer but is also a beer competition. Breweries enter their beers to be judged by the festival’s Professional Judge Panel. Festival attendees can also sip the beer entered in the competition during the tasting sessions.

The Great American Beer Festival invites industry professionals from around the world to sit together in small groups and, without knowing the brand name, taste beers in each specified style category. The ultimate goal of the Great American Beer Festival Judge Panel is to identify the three beers that best represent each beer-style category as described and adopted by the Great American Beer Festival.

The Professional Judge Panel awards gold, silver or bronze medals that are recognized around the world as symbols of brewing excellence. These awards are among the most coveted in the industry and heralded by the winning brewers in their national advertising.

Five different three-hour judging sessions take place over the three-day period during the week of the festival. Judges are assigned beers to evaluate in their specific area of expertise and never judge their own product or any product in which they have a concern.

The iPhone case that’s also a bottle opener phone case, we go hands on

22 March 2011 19:17 GMT / By Stuart Miles

CTIA 2011: Party time

We know what you’re thinking: we’ve got a tough job sometimes. Today it’s testing out an iPhone Case that’s also a bottle opener, just for you dear reader.

If, like us, you’re one of those people that is always having to open your suds on a radiator, or use that trick with another bottle, then this is probably going to be the iPhone case for you. Why? Because it features a stainless steel bottle opener on the back.

In what has to be a party animal’s dream accessory for the iPhone, the Be A HeadCase.com Bottle Opener Phone Case will work with the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and the newer iPhone 4.

But the case - that’s been specially designed to not exert pressure on your phone inside - also comes with a free app that when you open a bottle or can, plays your favourite song or sound and displays a picture.

The company behind the case is even talking about adding a feature that will ping Facebook to show that you’ve opened another beer, they told Pocket-lint.

How does it all work? By using the device’s in-built gryoscope to work out that you’ve opened a bottle.

Keep your mother-in-law busy with the Be A HeadCase phone case, bottle and can opener

The retail area at the International CTIA Wireless 2011 show in Orlando was flooded with so many smartphone cases that after awhile it became a blur of colors and rhinestones. One case really stood out for me, however, and that was the Be A HeadCase Bottle Opener Phone Case.The case is not only convenient and functional, it’s really well-made and a heck of a lot of fun too.

It comes with a free app that keeps track of the number of opened bottles and cans and you can clear the counter at any time to destroy the evidence. It also plays sounds and displays photos after each bottle or Can is opened. An included selection of sounds gets you started and you can record custom sounds or select anything you have in the music library on your device. The same goes for photos.

I used the mother-in-law sound for my test and found a suitable image online to go with it. Funny, funny stuff.

You may be wondering if prying off bottle tops with a steel blade attached to your phone case will do any damage to your phone (I was wondering that). Well, the case is engineered with some plastic ribs under the blade area so it will give when you’re prying. This takes the prying pressure off the phone itself. Also, the edges of the cases are designed to prevent moisture from getting to your case should you temporarily lose control of your motor functions and spill your beverage, whatever it may be. The case has a rubberized finish providing a good gripping surface.

Does it sound bulky to you? Well it’s not. The case itself is pretty minimal and the blade make it about 1/8-inch thicker. For me it’s not the kind of case I’d carry every day but it’s a great thing to have for tailgating, boating or the occasional party. No I just need to find some good sounds and photos from the movie “Animal House.”

Special Note: Five Woodchuck ciders were sacrificed in the making of this video. Hey it’s a tough job but someone has to do it.
