Prediction: wrong Mendes   wrong Decision  

aldo's struggles to make weight are anything but private, if he doesn't finish mendes fast, how long do you think he can last before he tires out?

i hate to say it but, mendes by 5 round dry hump..

I think Aldo can defend the TD tbh.

Aldo's wrestling is definitely solid.  He's soundly out-wrestled everyone he's fought.  I think some people might be looking a little too much into that 5th round with Hominick.

Prediction: correct Aldo   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Tough one to figure out. I've said for the past year that if there's anybody in the Featherweight division that could beat Jose Aldo -- It's Chad Mendes. But, I honestly think his inexperience is going to show tonight. If this fight was held one-to-two years from now, I'd be more inclined to pick Chad.

Nice KO.  Shows why Aldo is the undisputed champ.

Aldo seems unstoppable right now, I was really impressed with his TDD and it looked like the weight cut was easier this time. He could be 145 champ for a long time. There is nobody right now who deserves a title shot but there are definitely some opponents for him in the future like Hioki, Poirier, Koch or Pearson.

Prediction: correct Aldo   wrong Decision  

Does anyone know if Aldo got in trouble for running into the crowd? I know he did back in the WEC after defeating Rolando Perez. At that time the WEC was under Zuffa management (I think it was WEC 38), so I figured he was probably in hot water for running out into the crowd. Anybody heard anything about this?

I don't think he will be in trouble. Shades of BJ Penn/Caol Uno I for me

I was taking Mendes as the underdog to score some big points, but I did think he had a chance to wrestle Aldo. Damn impressed with Aldo's TDD, very impressive.

Just remembered an interview from forever ago with Jose. Basically he adds a skull in his tattoo for every KO he has on his record. After last night, he gets to add another one. :)

Prediction: correct Aldo   wrong Decision  

I had my pick for Mendes initially.

When Gray Maynard came out and said that Aldo's TDD is amazing and that he had trouble taking him down, I switched to Aldo KO Round 2. Then Urijah Faber and Chad Mendes came out and said that Mendes' style uses more explosive takedowns to catch opponents off guard, whereas Gray bullys them against the cage and then wrestles em.

But then I watched Faber vs Aldo again.
