Prediction: correct Aldo   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Aldo had provided nothing to the UFC since debuting. The Aldo from WEC has not made an appearance yet. I'll take a determined Mendes over Aldo who has had problems in his last two fights.

Prediction: correct Aldo   wrong Decision  

I think not finishing Kenny Florian had more to do with Kenny being a big step up in competition rather than with Aldo's performance, but I do think a bad weight cut and the flu contributed to his poor fifth-round showing against Hominick. A fresh and healthy Aldo should finish Hominick. 

I think people underestimate Kenny. Take another gander at his record.

Aldo still has trouble when he's getting wrestled. That's all that Mendes will do.

Prediction: correct Aldo   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Mendes is too one dimensional. Whoever beats Aldo is going to have to be more well rounded then Mendes. I'm going with Aldo by KO in the second or third.

Aldo hasn't impressed me in the UFC. I honestly think Mendes has the tools to give him a shot. I'm picking Mendes.....for now.

Aldo is renowned for his standup. He didn't hurt Kenny too much on the feet if I remember. Diego Nunes droppe Kenny twice or three times in their fight.

Nunes did not drop kenny two or three times. I think you need to watch that fight again.

Prediction: correct Aldo   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

he droped him at the very end of the third so far as i recall, but that was it. big aldo fan and sure he didn't show all of his skills in the ufc yet. but mendes is a one trick pony and aldo has fought wrestlers before, not of mendes skill set but still, mendes is a big test for "junior" but i think he'll pass that test, and hopefully with flying colours or a flying knee...

No. But Mendes is good at what he does, hes a wrestler. Aldo is supposed to be a feared striker who knocks out all of his opponents.
