Ultimate Fight Night 23: Fights for the Troops 2 served Texas with some solid combat this Saturday night. It also defined who will be the first challenger to José Aldo’s newly-minted UFC featherweight belt, in a bout planned to figure on the card for UFC 129 April 30 in Toronto.

In earning his shot against champion Aldo, Mark Hominick notched his fourth win in a row by putting away George Roop by knockout in just 1:28 minutes of fighting.

In the evening’s main event, Melvin Guillard put an end to Evan Dunham’s chances via knees in the opening round. Guillard thus brings his winning streak in the lightweight division to four in a row.

Now former WEC champion Mike Brown remains in the doldrums by losing to UFC debutant Rani Yahya, accumulating a second loss in a row and third in four outings.

Nova União duo Amilcar Alves and Willamy Chiquerim took a loss apiece, losing to Charlie Brenneman and Waylon Lowe, respectively, both by unanimous decision.
