The main card of UFC Vegas 44 featured several upset victories. Chris Curtis, Clay Guida and Jamahal Hill all defeated their favored opponents with stoppage victories. However, those victories paled compared to the performance Jose Aldo put on in the main event.
Aldo, who not too long ago was on a three-fight losing skid, defeated the favored Rob Font in the headlining bantamweight contest. Not only did Aldo win, but only one of the three judges scored a round in the favor of his opponent.
In the co-main event, Rafael Fiziev took a big step in the right direction in the lightweight division with an impressive knockout victory over Brad Riddell.
