Prediction: Mendes  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 2

Just to go against the grain I am gonna say Mendes beats Aldo and Team Alpha Male secures two titles.

 The UFC has some really thin looking PPV's coming up and now losing this fight is really bad. This sucks.

It's cool. Aldo's injury is just prolonging the inevitable. When they do fight Mendes is going to beat him up and take his belt. It's just a mater of time.

Sux but I know what they should do; move Lawler/Brown from the Fox 12 card to headline.

Prediction: Aldo  |  Decision

They really need to change the number of PPV's from 13 to 10, just so this stuff doesn't happen. Less PPV's=stacked PPV's with two title fights. They'll be able to have a decent back up plan. Also has anyone else seen they a booking Dillahswa/Barao 2 for UFC 177?

I think Mendes would have success with Swanson but I would much rather see Mendes vs Aldo than Swanson vs Aldo.

I mean, I think both of them would lose but Mendes actually has a shot because he does seem more confident in his striking so Aldo won't telegraph his TD shots as easily as he did in the first fight. But Swanson? Cub Swanson's going to ******* die against Jose Aldo, Aldo's style is literally tailor-made to decimate Cub Swanson. If they fight again I think it's going to resemble a lot like Aldo/Faber.

@sreimuth THAT'S A LIE. If Dillashaw/Barao II ever happens, I'm gonna be ******* annoyed. Dillashaw tossed Barao's ****, that fight should not happen unless Barao builds up a huge win streak.

Yep. Them booking it in Sacramento is a massive "**** you!" to Renan Barao. Barao asked for a rematch to be in Brazil and they're just like "Nikka plz".

@ANnik- I wouldn't say massive, like maybe two wins could get him back in there, but not immediate rematch.

I read the headline that Aldo was out, and my first reaction was relief. I almost bought two tickets for this event. But held out for fear of an injury. Plus living in LA I know how people are, and I'm sure I can get below ticket value on seats on StubHub leading up to the event.

@sreimuth Really? I don't know about you but I saw Dillashaw utterly squash Barao in one of the most dominant title wins in UFC history. I don't care for that fight unless Barao shows that he's improved his striking and fight IQ, which are his two major weaknesses.

Prediction: Aldo  |  Decision

Yeah, I agree ... immediate rematch is either the UFC trying desperately to get Barao back as champ or just a testament to how shallow the 135 division is with no immediate "mouthwatering" contenders. Assuncao has the whole "beat the champ in a controversial fight" thing going for him, but he's not a marketable headliner or even close to it, Faber is a big no no, McDonald is coming off a loss, Mizugaki healing from surgery and that's more or less all she wrote for the division in terms of who you can sell against the champ.

This division needs Cruz back in a huge way and for Wineland, Perez, Caraway and Johnny Eduardo to step it up a notch with consistency.

Also, if Caceres actually pulls one out of his ass (literally, because I think if he wins it'll only be submission from the bottom) you'll get yourself a great and marketable new contender. But that's the longest of shots right there.

Junior Dos Santos vs. Alistar Overeem is the only non-title fight that can save this card.
