UFC Rio: Aldo v Mendes

Aldo via homicide

 

Aldo knee KO

 

I believe Mendes is harboring a Glass Jaw and Aldo will probably shatter it whenever he's able to discourage Mendes from stinking up the fight with constant takedown and clinch attempts.

Also, Erick Silva appears to have a questionable Chin, as well, though I doubt Prater is the guy to expose it. I can always wish, however.

 

Yes , Terry should look to set a pace and strike with Barboza , the way Ross Pearson did , but that would be against Terry's usual application and may throw him off , either way Etim should be busy and look to outwork him , his reach may help him do that

Id love to see these two on the ground as well

 

As funny as this may sound , i do beleive the fact Mendes is almost one dimensional will actually help him in this particular fight , when this fight was made i actually winced for Aldo because stylistically Mendes should give him problems if Aldo doesnt hurt / finish him early , he does seem the type of fighter who will just look to do the one thing Aldo cannot and thats wrestle , and to beat Jose Aldo you cannot strike with the man , thats clear now !!!

Ive got to be honest im looking forward to seeing how aldo deals with Mendes

 

is this showing anywhere in the uk now that the contract with espn has ended?

 

Its on ESPN....

 

ah ok my mistake thought the contract had ended

 

I use the term poor loosely and based on how good he can be.

Florian was slow and lacked dominance. Could have even ko'd him. Florian was doing a crazy cut. Hominick saw him on his back, saw him hit, tired and both fights saw his power lack that buzz.

Dominant on paper but Aldo doesn't look dominant on paper, he looks sensational.
