this is a big fight, its being over shadowed by the hype of the aldo vs. connor fight... but in reality i think both these guys beat connor.. not easily but i still think they get the win..

I am sure Mendes hopes Connor wins. If Aldo wins, which I expect, do they have Mendes fight Aldo again? Hopefully Connor makes a good showing and they have Mendes fight Connor next. I am sure the Mendes Aldo fight is not a fight the UFC wants to do again, real soon.

Dang...I was excited to watch the fights then I realized it's already over.

I give the edge to Conor. Conor will pick him off with angles left and right continually battering him + frustrating him. Conor has a lot of weapons especially his verbal assault. Can you imagine facing someone who's top tiered in anything; games, sports, fighting, etc. then talking mad smack. That would take anybody off their game. I mean looking back at Ali dodging what a dozen+ shots in a row then smiling. That can mentally break an opponent.

Not really. He's a threat to Aldo even with two losses to him. Their second meeting was so much closer than many expected. And Mendes keeps getting better. Not a fan of the guy but it's scary how good he is getting. The clear #2 and not slowing down.

You called an awesome five round fight too.

Fights at this level are tough to predict, when both guys are so well rounded. I bet on Mendes by decision, lot on the line here and both have recently done five with Aldo, but Chad soon stamped that out.

If Edgar beats Faber things get very interesting, but I think Chad will wait for the Aldo vs Conor result. I don't think Aldo is interested in rematches so he may move up after the Conor fight. The top end of Featherweight is on hold until July.
