Might be a little early for Mendes to call out Aldo. His striking has improved tremendously, but he's not at that level yet. Still, if he keeps winning, he deserves a rematch.
Surprised he finished such a durable guy like Elkins. That speaks volumes in my opinion. Mendes isn't just a wrestler anymore.
Darren Elkins isn't come can. He has some solid wins and is usually pretty durable. Don't hate on the guy.
Still, I wasn't sure how some people had him winning. Mendes could have out wrestled him in my opinion, and his stand up and power has been looking good lately. I expected him to cruise to a decision. I didn't mind a stoppage though.
the **** are you talking about joe, he isn't getting the next title fight and he isn't number one contender, thats pettis and behind him is korean zombie
A very beautiful knock out win from Anthony. Roger just fell right into him after that. A little too much aggression on his part. You can't do that against a technical guy like Anthony. He got his California win.
Yeah, Mendes should be fighting the top guys in his division. He's among the elite at 145 in my opinion. Him fighting even solid competition in Elkins shows that he's on another level. I want to see him fight the winner of Edgar vs. Oliveira, and by that, I mean I want to see him fight Edgar.
That may be so, but he should be fighting guys like them at the very least. Who knows, he may surprise us against one. (Probably not Aldo or Pettis) His striking is looking better these days, and he has power. I'm not talking about his wins over easy opponents like McKenzie, but a knock out win over a tough guy in Elkins is impressive. Elkins is pretty durable and can usually take a lot of punishment. Mendes has power in his hands. I hope to see him continue to improve.
Mendes vs winner of next title fight at best or the winner of the Swanson/Siver, Edgar/Olivera or Sung/Llamas fight at worst. REally liking where FW has got to the past year.
...Man, wicked fights tonight. Matt Brown was ultra-impressive. Brutal finish for Brown. Thompson's finish on Diaz was gruesome, but sweet as hell!. What a headkick. Gosh...Cormier & Mir---Henderson & Melendez is gonna be insane. Serious stuff ahead...
watching prelims right now, Dillashaw got a good knockout, Benavidez looked good out there and James Franco (Myles Jury) just knocked the shit out of Nijem
Very true, Team Alpha Male must be celebrating after last night. Great finishes as well.
