Prediction: correct Aldo   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

The fact Aldo brought in Gray Maynard in to train makes me extremely confident in Aldo beating Mendes

I would agree with you on that one, I don't see Aldo losing this fight.

I thought the 1 guy who had theb est chance of beating Aldo was Florian tbh, I dont see Mendes doing much in this fight.

I'm rooting for an Aldo TKO, but my gut instinct is to take a Mendes UD.

Im looking for Aldo to take Mendes apart just like he did to Faber. I think hes going to be more prepared for this fight than he has been for any other.

Prediction: correct Aldo   wrong Decision  

Aldo's takedown defense is underrated and looks really sharp and I believe Chad can't show Jose anything he has not seen before. It won' be a finish but Aldo's striking should mess with Mendes and Mendes will try to press. It'll be like the Florian fight I feel.

@Nik Faber is a better striker and better at subs but Mendes is the better wrestler.

I can't really stand Aldo and since i am picking Johnson to upset Belfort i may as well go with the upset here too!

War Mendes!

Prediction: correct Aldo   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Heard alot of people say stuff like that recently and i think its unfair.
Mendez presents and entirely different problem for Aldo.
Where as Faber was willing to stand with Aldo, i think that now Mendez knows just how vicious those leg kicks are he will be relentless with takedown attempts.
I still have Aldo winning, but if Aldo has a bad weight cut like he did against Hominick then i think we could be looking at an upset here

@nik lust.  The difference between Mendes and Faber is that Faber actually tries to finish fights.

I think this is a tough fight to call. I really don't get why Aldo is getting 84% of the votes. I think it should be closer. Aldo should be the favourite in this one but Mendes has the tools to pull an upset with his wrestling.

@greg i agree with you but since i found out aldo brought in maynard for his wreslting i switched my pick to aldo.  If gray has gotten aldos wrestling up enough to defend the odd take down he will take this fight. 

Faber and florian struggled.  Training with maynard can only improve him.  Mendes is gonna bring a great fight either way and i wont be shocked if he wins.

I had picked Mendes UD... finding out Aldo brought in Maynard makes me a little nervous, but I'm sticking with Mendes

It takes more than one training camp working on one's TD defense to stop a wrestler that has been taking down other wrestlers his entire life.

Mendes has the tools to win this fight by one way...Taking Aldo down and controlling him...Everyone will then talk about how Mendes is boring and can't wait for him to get beat...Mendes doesn't stand a chance in this fight on the feet and Aldo is gonna tune him up!
