i dont think ken flo has a belt coming in his life...not mean just honest...he'll probably move down 135 after losing to aldo...mendes? maybe...but if he cant takedown aldo, which is VERY tough, its over imo....who else?

yeah but he doesn't resort to his wrestling much and Aldo destroyed his legs at the start Mendes would get him down straight away!

Yeah Mendes has Faber in his camp so they can go over all the mistakes Faber made so Mendes doesn't try any of that in the fight!

Mendes is a much better wrestler. Mendes is not Urijah Faber!

I think Faber's problem on that fight was his stance (wrestlers stance), which favours people who can leg kick. Most strikers are afraid of it due to the fact they can be taken down, but Aldo has amazing reflexes and timing, he wouldn't be taken down that easy. It would be just like Kos x Alves, imo.

I don't think it was his stance as much as it was his game plan. He didn't really use his wrestling right off the bat. He tried to be a tough guy and stand with Aldo, who promptly destroyed his legs lol. Mendes is a much better wrestler than Faber, who also uses is much better. I know Aldo was gassed, but when Hominick took Aldo down, he was smashing on him. If Hominick can take Aldo down, I think Mendes should be able to.

I don't think Kenny will pull off a W he can't win the big fight.... I don't know if Dustin "The Diamond" Poirier has enough yet but I really can't wait to see this kid fight again. I was impressed with his last 2 fights, maybe I'm just biased because we share the same last name haha.

I think that Chad Mendes and Tyson Griffin currently pose the biggest threats to Jose Aldo. Marlon Sandro maybe, but first he has to come over to the UFC so we can see what he is truly made of.
