                    <p>Chad Mendes will get a second chance at Jose Aldo when the two meet at UFC 179 for the featherweight title. Last month at a press conference in Brazil the two got into a bit of a shoving match, which Mendes was not impressed by at all:</p>

“The guy’s an a–hole,” Mendes told MMAjunkie Radio. “That’s really what it comes down to. We’re there to sell a fight, and the guy pushes me, and then after he tries to say in interviews, ‘Oh, I just tried to sell the fight.’

“Either you’re a moron, or … you lost your cool, so it’s one of the two.”

“It doesn’t make sense to me to push a dude in the staredown (when) someone’s getting in your face, he said. “That’s what our job is — we’re supposed to stand there in front of each other and pose for the damn cameras and s–t. If you don’t like me being there, don’t do the damn staredown.”

Succint enough

Wait, Aldo thinks that shoving your opponent during staredowns sells more PPVS?

Did he just learn this? Because I don't believe I've seen him use this tactic before.

Mendes and the rest of the Alpha Male squad come off as more assholish.

Pedeneiras had said like literally the week before that they were going to talk fake shit and do stuff like this for hype from now on.

 

 

That team doesn't really get fight hype too well.

otherwise I have no real pony in this show, it's just funny watching that team tip their hand on the shove and shit talk.

Yeah, I like TJ and Mendes but this seems more true about the alpha male group. I don't think it makes Aldo an idiot cause he wants to sell more ppvs Phone Post 3.0

You have a point, but maybe save the "did it to sell ppvs" explanation after the actual ppv Phone Post 3.0
