Mark Hominick gets it done at Ring of Fire

From MMAweekly's report of the recent Ring of Fire card in Colorado:

One of the most anticipated bouts of the night featured UFC fighter Mark Hominick versus Doug Edwards. Edwards had a distinct height and reach advantage in this bout, and he used it well. Early in the fight Edwards probed accurately with his jab and repeatedly landed solid leg kicks to the left thigh of Hominick. Hominick took the kicks and jabs well. In the latter part of the round he began to use his superior footwork and speed to quickly get into range to land solid hooks to the head and body. Hominick knocked down Edwards once in round one, but elected to let him stand. Hominick punctuated the end of the round with a double left hook followed by a strong overhand right, all of which landed clean.

In round two Edwards continued to use the low kick well, but Hominick countered by absorbing the kick in order to land a counter overhand right. In the last third of the round Hominick dropped Edwards with a punch and this time he followed him to the mat. He unleashed a strong ground and pound flurry that had Edwards turtling in defense. From there Hominick took back control, flattened out Edwards and got rear naked choke sunk in for the win at 4:08 of round two.

I'm such a fan of this guy. Looking forward to seeing more of him in the UFC.

Id like to see him in the UFC more but not if he is going to run from his opponent like he did against Gurgel.

Yeah, can't wait to see this guy fight. Lots and lots of talented lightweights around now and this guy may be one of the fastest. I'd like to see him fight Sam Stout.

I don't see why people have made such a big deal about this. It was his only choice to evade his opponent and though it was cowardly and he should have lost a point, it was purely instinctual.

Yeah Mark is a tough kid i can't wait too see him at TKO 25. I live a couple blocks away from where Him and Sam Stout train.

I highly doubt he would fight Sam. They are good friends and train together. Also they fight in a different weight class. Sam is a lightweight and Mark is a featherweight.

Only because there is no featherweight division.
