Calling it right now, Mendes is taking a UD or 4th or 5th round TKO after Aldo gasses out.
I havent been this confident in a fight since I predicted that Chael would submit Shogun in the first.
I see Aldo winning the first 2 rounds by utilizing leg kicks and sprawling but after that, he gasses and Mendes starts landing takedowns with amazing frequency.
Mendes has improved tons since the last they fought.
Aldo has seemed lacksadasical recently and its getting harder for him to make weight.
I think Mendes wins, but I think he does it by 1st round KO or TKO.
UncleChael - I think Mendes wins, but I think he does it by 1st round KO or TKO.Very possible but i see it happening more likely in the championship rounds.

All I know is mendes is super confident and
Isn't gonna go away easily. Aldo on the other hand is dealing with a cursed camp, injuries and his cardio hasn't been looking that great. Also wasn't there rumors of him having kidney stones recently? Seems like a perfect storm for mini mendes.

Kinda hard to write Aldo off. He's been on a superb winning streak, in dominating fashion most if the time too. Is he going to win this one again?..... Who knows. If Mendes does win I say Aldo tears him apart in the rematch. Then dominates for long time. Call it the kick up his ass he needs for better championship rounds finishes.

Im not discrediting Aldo at all. Hes a great fighter for sure and he could very well dominate in a rematch again but in this fight I definirely see Mendes winning.

Aldo will gas as per usual, but lets not act like Mendes is a cardio machine either. Dude will get very tired through first couple rounds, getting stuffed on takedowns constantly is exhausting. I don't know if he has the tank to take advantage of Aldo in the later rounds.
Definitely looking forward to the fight though.

favoring mendes in the rematch, via unanimous decision..
