Sounds right it would be a good test to see how Aldo (if he beats hominck) handles high level wrestling 
Wouldn't mendes vs Aldo go a lot like faber vs Aldo?
Hellenke11er - Wouldn't mendes vs Aldo go a lot like faber vs Aldo? <img src="/images/phone/post_tag.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>
i disagree. urijah didnt attempt a takedown til the later rounds if i remember. mendes would try to take the fight to the ground from the get go. maybe a resemblance of the brown fight if he cant take aldo down?
I don't see anyone beating Aldo, but yeah mendes is the most logical contender
If Hominick wins aldo should get a rematch since hes beaten some pretty tough guys to keep that title. If(more like when imo) aldo wins I think this is the right fight to make. Still dont see mendes beating Aldo or even giving him a real good fight. I think hellenke11er is dead on, the fight would probably look like the faber fight with more takedown attemps early on.
Mendes is my least favorite fighter in MMA and makes Fitch look like Genki Sudo. I hope Aldo crushes him and sends him back to the prelims
^^ I didn't think mendes vs Javi or mendes vs Omigawa were half as boring as some of fitchs fights. Mendes has a good future ahead of him. I'd love to see him vs Aldo. I'd give the edge to Aldo but still. Interesting division.
Watching the brookins vs Aldo fight I remember the takedown that brookins had on Aldo, maybe if mendes uses that style takedown and since he will have better top control aldo shouldn't get out from under as fast, but then again Aldo is a monster on the ground
I don't think Mendes could be exciting if his career depended on it.
Mendes will get murked. Prolly gonna be aldo's easiest fight.
I have been a huge fan of Hominick since his days in TKO, but I can't believe so many people are giving him a shot in this fight with Aldo. I don't see it at all. I think Mendes will be a much tougher fight for Aldo than Hominick.
Chad Money via WrestleFuck. See Sonnen v Silva without the triangle.
Mendes is talented and definitely will get through most of the competition in that weight class, but I do not see him being able to beat Aldo at all
WRESTLENOW - who can stop this new wave of wrestler-super tanks?
The fans when ppl get sick of watching grown men hump eachother and lose interest in pro mma. Most casual fans, and even some hardcore fans, are confused as to how this is even considered fighting, but you wrasslin boys are too self absorbed to see this.
