LOL poor Mendes with all these replacements.

I was looking forward to Mendes beating down Clay  :(

Im kinda scared for Elkins  I think this fight belongs to whoever gets the first takedown in each round lol.

I was really looking forward to Mendes giving Guida a haircut in the cage.

It doesn't really matter who faces Mendes in the end anyway, he's pretty much beating them all either way.

I hate Mendes but I can't see anyone at featherweight beating him other than Aldo. Maybe KZ or Ricardo Lamas but against either one he would definitely be the favorite.

I was looking forward to Guida making more people mad by winning AGAIN! Oh well. Hope Elkins smashes him, he probably wont but I can hope.

Props go out to Elkins for taking this tough fight on short notice. Will be rooting for the guy but Mendes most likely wins this...

Well at least this replacement is on a good streak against quality guys, Mendes should still wipe the floor with him

@JM Barrie As cool as Elkins is, he can have a full training camp and Mendes would still be the favorite and would still have a good chance of whipping the floor with Mendes.

I don't think any featherweight can beat Mendes not named Jose Aldo or Frankie Edgar.

Really like the fact that even though Elkins isn't a huge name, he is getting a big name. He deserves it. 5-0 at FW and has looked good recently. He just fought and he accepts this fight on short notice ... he deserves serious props.
