► OFFICIAL UFC 179 - Saturday, October 25th, 2014 - ALDO / MENDES II - BRAZIL

Phil sounds like a damn fool in his post fight interview.

He just doesn't care about fighting for a title.
 
MMA is definitely hard to predict. Always interesting to listen to the betting podcasts and oddsmakers in general, etc. MMA math and match-ups are always interesting to size up when looking at records ...




- Phil Davis subs Alexander Gustaffson in the 1st round in 2010
- The same Gustaffson who went an epic 25 mins with Jones in Sept. 2013
- Davis gets owned over 5 rounds by Rashad Evans
- Davis wins a decision over Lyoto Machida
- Teixeira gets dominated over 3 rounds tonight to Davis
- Teixeira previously goes 25 mins with champ Jon Jones
- Teixeira also previously TKOs Bader, and subs Tehuna
- Also wins a 3-round decision over Rampage Jackson
- Rampage having fought Jones in the past and getting subbed in the 4th round
 
^^^ Not just match ups, though. Also have to consider when those bouts took place. Gus was a different fighter with Jones than he was with Davis. Bader fought a shot Rampage for 3 rounds, but he didn't dominate him like Jones did before finishing him in the 4th... but I feel what you're saying, though: styles do make the fight.
 
I though Glover was gonna knock Phil Davis out but I guess I was wrong. Some cat said to always bet on black. I guess I may try that. But, I don't see this Mendes dude beating Jose Aldo. They need to give Jose Also better competition. I think Frankie Edgar was the closest thing to beating Aldo.
 
JOSE said fuck this shit
put an assault on mendes in last minute

ref fucked up by not stepping in after the 1st round buzzer

Yeah man. Styles make fights. Hard sport to bet on. Got some fam' who win thousands on the cards ... I should probably tag along with them. On my own I work too hard for the money to be losin' it betting carelessly. Scary too when cats like HOMINICK go 25 mins with Aldo, and then get KO'd in 7 seconds. Or cats like HENDRICKS knocking out Fitch and Kampmann in 12 and 46 seconds, and going the full 25 mins with GSP and Lawler more recently. :lol:
 
Fun, angry fight.

The late shots from Aldo. The eye poke in round 1 and nut shot in round 2 from Mendes.

Bring it on! Wild muthafuckas ...
 
mendes need to use his lateral movement more,
he is making himself an easy target

I got Jose Aldo winning the 1st round
 
Great fight. Give these guys the FOTN bonus $ already. Solid 3rd round ... both cats still in it, no doubt. I'll watch the lighter weight divisions any day over some of the lumbering light heavy & heavyweight match-ups we've seen on other cards over the years.
 
good fight after 4 rds

Jose slowing down
Aldo and Mendes left eyes showing some damage
 
A tough one to call 1 minute into the fifth and final round so far. What do you think the judges will score it?

48-47 ALDO?
49-46 ALDO?
 
great title fight
I got Jose Aldo winning

Mendes showed some good improvement with his striking
