Mixed martial arts career
As a teen he attended Ingersoll District Collegiate Institute. He was trained by the late great MMA striking coach Shawn Tompkins with Sam Stout at The Adrenaline Training Center in London, Ontario, where he also works as an instructor.
Hominick has fought at both Featherweight and Lightweight during his professional career. He has appeared in many organizations including the UFC, Affliction, TKO, and WEC.
World Extreme Cagefighting
He was scheduled to fight Deividas Taurosevičius on October 10, 2009 at WEC 43.,[1] but was forced to withdraw due to an injury.
Hominick was scheduled to face Yves Jabouin on January 10, 2010 at WEC 46,[2] but Jabouin was forced off the card with an injury.[3] Hominick instead faced WEC newcomer Bryan Caraway, winning by submission in the first round.[4]
The fight eventually took place on June 20, 2010 at WEC 49.[5] Hominick won via TKO in the second round. They both won a Sherdog award for best round of 2010.
Hominick faced Leonard Garcia on September 30, 2010 at WEC 51.[6] He won the fight via split decision.
Return to Ultimate Fighting Championship
On October 28, 2010, World Extreme Cagefighting merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As part of the merger, all WEC fighters were transferred to the UFC.[7]
Hominick faced former training partner, George Roop on January 22, 2011 at UFC Fight Night 23 in a top contender bout.[8] Hominick stopped Roop via punches in the first round.[9]
Hominick faced UFC Featherweight Champion José Aldo on April 30, 2011 at UFC 129, where he lost via unanimous decision in a bout that earned Fight of the Night honors.[10]
Hominick faced Chan Sung Jung on December 10, 2011 at UFC 140. Hominick attempted to attack Jung immediately after touching gloves and was met with a counter right, dropping Hominick to the ground. Jung followed up with punches until Hominick went limp and the referee brought an end to the fight, tying one of the fastest KOs in the UFC.[11]
Hominick faced Eddie Yagin on April 21, 2012 at UFC 145.[12] He lost the fight by split decision, but did win Fight of the Night honors for the bout.
