ALDO DETHRONES BROWN FOR THE WEC FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE!
LAS VEGAS -- Jose Aldo looked almost invincible in his two-round dismantling of World Extreme Cagefighting featherweight champion Mike Thomas Brown in the WEC 44 “Brown vs. Aldo” main event on Wednesday at the Palms Casino Resort.
Brown, gunning for his third successful title defense, ran into a Brazilian buzzsaw and simply never got in gear.
Aldo used perfect distance, coupled with powerful leg kicks and laser-like punches, to keep Brown guessing from the outset. The Nova Uniao standout executed at will. Brown attempted a few takedowns early, but Aldo sprawled effectively. When the two featherweights drew close, Aldo either slammed the American’s legs with vicious kicks or ripped crunching knees into his midsection.
Just before the end of the first round, a knee to the stomach appeared to steal Brown’s breath, but the defending champion dropped to his knees and clinched onto the challenger’s legs until the horn sounded. Although Brown escaped, he was far from out of the woods, and Aldo’s firepower wilted the defending 145-pound titleholder early in the following stanza.
Aldo stuffed a takedown, and during a scramble, Brown lost his balance, allowing the Brazilian to move into a dominant position. Brown tried to return to his feet, but Aldo was relentless and immediately seized his back. In the blink of an eye, Aldo had Brown flattened and trapped, turning him into an easy target. Aldo left nothing in the hands of the judges and unloaded a furious assault to the sides of Brown’s head. Dozens of punches -- some of them clean, some of them blocked -- rained down, and referee Steve Mazzagatti had no choice but to step in and end the mugging. The end came 1:20 into the second round.

PANTHER WRESTLING
We're proud of the Panther's Wrestling Team tonight. These guys have come a long way from when they first stepped on the mats six weeks ago. We had a good weight assessment at the Arkansas Wrestling Academy tonight and most the guys are within just a few pounds of their minimum weight class for the season. The work threshold we've been training day in and day out and focus on a healthy lifestyle as paid off and the guys know they can overcome any adversity. Abby and I also got assessed. We'd never have anyone go through something we wouldn't do ourselves. We found out we're dead on with the weight classes we've been competing at. My minimum wrestling weight was my exact competition weight dead on. I have faith in our method and we're gearing up and fine tuning for our first meet of the season Dec 17th. Be sure and support the team. They deserve it and I hope everyone can find a little inspiration from them.
CLASS
Chris, Wes and David worked to cover things at the academy while we were at the assessment. We've got some exciting new sequences we begun this week, which really emphasize some important tactics and concepts you don't want to be without. Be sure to take advantage of every possible opportunity to get on the mats this week. This is the only way to success and ultimately you have to take the step to overcome the obstacles in your way.
EXTRA SATURDAY TRAINING
For this Saturday's training session, we'll be taking a trip to one of our affiliate academies to get some extra mat time in with a different group of athletes. This can be a great tool to improve your game and should be taken advantage of at every opportunity! The guys you train with day in and day out know your game and you know theirs. A lot of times some different guys can help you really test your game and sharpen your overall skill. We'll be announcing all the details for the remainder of the week in class and expect as many team members to get involved as possible.
NEW TEAM SITE
I wanted to turn everyone on to the new team site that's up and running. There you'll find the history of the team, the latest news, interviews and upcoming events for the team!
