Back in Brazil, WEC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo has been giving support for team mates over at the Nova Uniao facility in Rio de Janeiro. The astonishing fighter told Tatame that he might defend the belt in January against Mark Hominick, who has already fought for UFC:

"Whoever it may be, I always respect everybody. We may already have a title defense in January with Mark Hominick, a Canadian very good in kickboxing."

Over Grispi? That's whack.

Aldo should fight every 2 months. Its not like he's ever broken a sweat in the WEC

He should fight every week and go through everyone in his division then move up to lightweight.

He pretty much has. Grispi is the only WEC challenge left.

You actually consider Grispi a challenge?

Grispi's no challenge for Aldo. He may be the best of the rest in WEC after MTB and Faber but he's not a "challenge"

Hominick? I'd rather see Grispi, Mendes or even a rematch with MTB. Damn, the WEC needs to lure in some guys like Bibiano, Sandro (Probably wouldn't fight Aldo due to the pussy rule though) and others from Dream and Sengoku. Clearing out the WEC doesn't necissarily mean you've cleared out the division...

I think Sandro is the best fight out there for him unfortunately.

Unfortunate because he is not part of Zuffa and because there is a strong possibility they are afraid to fight each other. Sandro is a beast and is my #2 in that division right now.

I think Aldo and Sandro are more than just teammates though. They seem like best friends based off everything i've read. When Sandro won the Sengoku belt he went on this speech about how great of a friend, teammate and inspiration Jose Aldo is.

WEC's FW division has become incredibly stale to me with nobody really coming up through their ranks thats impressive and strong FW's popping up all over the place like Sandro,Bibiano, Hioki, Omigawa, Warren, Soto, Friere, Reis, etc. WEC just lost Devidas to Bellator. He was one of their better FW's. MTB seems to be at a crossroads and Faber moved down. Not that i think any of those guys in Japan or Bellator would beat Aldo or even challenge him. I bet a lot of them would find themselves getting a shot at Aldo in WEC.

WEC is still considered the best place for a FW to be. Smply because they got the histrry of pushing the divison and getting the fighters the best exposure they can get as well as the best FW out there, Arguably the 2-3 best if you count Faber and still include Brown but the division is going nowhere right now with all the new talent popping up elsewhere and middle of the pack fighters like Hominick getting title shots.

Mendes is 135.


The WEC some how need to bring in this man -

Mendes has never fought at 135. He's always been a featherweight. You might be thinking of Joe Benavidez.

Mendes shouldn't be allowed to fight again until he learns some fuckin GnP. That Cub fight was an embarrassment.

Joe Warren wouldn't have a hope or a prayer to even threaten Aldo a little.

Whoever they pick, they pick, Hominick, Grispi.....Aldo will casually beat them all and hopefully move up to LW.

Well Grispi hasn't lost in four years and sub'd Hominick. In fact, he's been finishing high level guys for years now. He never looks like a threat, then he finishes a stud in the first round. Aldo seems unbeatable, but Grispi has earned this shot.
