The Headhunter with the spin kicks! - Fight Forum - MMA - UFC - Boxing - K1

It looked like Paul wanted to end Aldonas night with some broken ribs! We got to see some of his patented uppercuts, too. I wish Aldona was more game, and better conditioned.

Now Paul can KO Vera, or Timmy after he blows his title shot again.

good for Paul. im gald he had a better showing. i think him vs. Silvia would be very entertaining.

Although they were ****ty kicks, they were cool. His roundhouse looked good. Buentello is a great fighter who doesn't get the respect because how he got beat against Arlovski. Buentello has the skills to beat Sylvia and others in the UFC's heavyweight division. I just think Andrei is too much for him.

Great night for big Paul.

Yeah, I thought Paul looked good overall but those spinning kicks were horrible, even worse than the Crow's.

Haha. It was nice to see Paul trying something different and it worked. So I'm just glad he got a win. Good job Paul!

Man the high kicks looked good, spinning kicks looked predictable and bad. But, he is awsome in the clinch with those upper cuts. But he still doesn't stand a chance against A.A.

Horrible armbar attempt by Paul and it wasn't too smart to let those americana go. But everything else was goo.

I wanna see him pound timmy next. I don't think he could take vera.

I'm a little confused as to why Paul didn't finish him off when he knocked him down in the first round. He stood over him for like 20 seconds and let him get back up. He had him where he wanted him but was overly cautious. Really didn't look like a killer instinct to me.

I think he threw the spin kicks and back fists just to keep Aldana worrying about them more than actually trying to use them to finish Aldana. I think Buentello wanted a submission win...

Pauls submission attempts were terrible, and that slapping high kick with the foot was not doing any damage. He should have KO'ed Aldana in the first round after that knockdown. But, give Aldana some credit, he landed some shots and took alot that would have KO'ed lots of other fighters. I like the fact that Paul said he told Aldana to just quit because he wasn't going to stop and Aldana replied "I'm not either"! I'd like to see Paul vs Silvia too.

Well, there's certainly nothing wrong with keeping your opponent off balance, but if you're going to throw spinning kicks, throw them right.
