It’s official, there is a new UFC Featherweight Champion. On August 2nd Chad Mendes will unseat Jose Aldo. The fight will take place at the Staples Center. The two met in January 2012 with Aldo getting the KO victory at 4:59 of the first round. Since that defeat Mendes has gone 5-0 with four knockouts. The reason why I think Mendes will win is because he was winning the last fight up until one very small mistake. His wrestling is top-notch and his striking is way better now then back in 2012. He reigns from Team Alpha Male which means his chokes are also great. I see Mendes pressuring Aldo up against the cage, taking him down some, and doing a good enough job on the feet the get the win. I’ll have more on the fight as it gets closer. Who do you got?
