In the last few days, rumors have cropped up suggesting that Canadian Mark Hominick will be the next man to challenge WEC featherweight champion Jose Aldo.
The rumor seemingly began on Brazilian website Tatame.com, which suggested the fight would happen in January.
Not so fast, says WEC president Reed Harris, who told MMA Fighting that nothing has yet to be decided for the 145-pound superstar.

Jose Aldo revealed to Tatame today that he turned down the opportunity to move up a weight class to take on UFC lightweight Kenny Florian in December.
According to Aldo, who has fought as a lightweight before, after talking it over with his managers, Ed Soares and Joinha and his coach, Andre Pederneiras they came to the conclusion that the timing wasn’t right for him to make the move up to 155, partially because it takes time to put on the mass required to move up a weight class and also because he doesn’t want to have to fight any of his Nova Uniao teammates.
"Actually I started in a lighter division, then changed to this one and tried the division above, but it’s up to [Andre] Dedé [Pederneiras] and he knows better," Aldo explained. "When I was fighting on the division above he thought there were many people of the gym on that division, and on my division there’s me and Marlon [Sandro] and I can play pretty hard on this one and I’m the champion, so I think it’s best for me to stay on this weight division."

WEC featherweight champion Jose Aldo revealed in an interview with Tatame over the weekend that his next scheduled bout will be against former TKO featherweight champion Mark Hominick in January.
"Whoever it is, [I] always respect everyone," Aldo said. "We already have a defense in January, [and it] will be against Mark Hominick, a Canadian [who is] very good at kickboxing."
Aldo seemed a bit unsure about whether or not the fight with "The Machine" is a sure thing so we contacted Hominick’s longtime mentor and trainer Shawn Tompkins today to find out if the fight is a go.
Tompkins tells us that his charge is still in a cast recovering from a broken hand he suffered training for his impressive victory over Leonard Garcia at WEC 51 last month.
Since Jose Aldo continued to drop jaws around the MMA world with another, ‘he’s just too good’ stoppage win over Manny Gamburyan last month, the internet has been littered with discussions as to what’s next for the P4P contender.

Since Jose Aldo continued to drop jaws around the MMA world with another, ‘he’s just too good’ stoppage win over Manny Gamburyan last month, the internet has been littered with discussions as to what’s next for the P4P contender. While everyone in their right mind would like to see the WEC featherweight champ test the UFC lightweight waters, the argument that the WEC can’t really spare any of its top stars right now may have some merit. We’ll save the never ending ‘should the WEC just merge with the UFC’ debate for another time….
At any rate, if reports surfacing today are accurate, it looks as though the WEC may be putting together a bout between Aldo and Mark Hominick. According to a report from MMA Mania, the Brazilian publication Tatame recently posted this comment from Aldo:
“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.”
Now, the early betting line on this one probably won’t give Hominick great odds to win, but if you’ve seen the Canadian fight you know that striking enthusiasts will be taking notes. Aldo is a walking, punching, kicking and kneeing highlight reel, while Hominick has some of the fastest hands in the sport. Bottom line, if Aldo is staying in the WEC for the time being, a bout with Hominick could be the way to go. We’d watch it.

This is the WEC 51 live blog for Leonard Garcia vs. Mark Hominick, a featherweight bout on tonight’s Versus card from the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, Colo.
Garcia (14-5-1) is a slugger coming off a controversial win over Chan Sung Jung at WEC 48 in April. Hominick (18-8) is on a three-fight win streak, two of which were finishes in the WEC.

Leonard Garcia isn’t ashamed to admit it: sometimes he’s scared when he walks into the cage on fight night. In fact, he prefers it that way. If the opponent he’s fighting isn’t at least a little bit terrifying, then what’s the point?
“I don’t want to walk into a fight thinking I can win,” Garcia told MMA Fighting. “I want to walk in feeling a little worried about the guy. The fights that scare me are the ones where I think I do my best. I feel like it’s really important to have a guy in front of you that scares you.”
That’s how it was when he met Chan Sung Jung in his last bout, he said, and look how well that one turned out. And when he faced Hiroyuki Takaya at WEC 32?
“I was scared to death,” he said. “And Jens Pulver, too. All three of those fights, it was like pins and needles the whole time. I felt it walking in.”
