This is easily THE most underrated MMA fight of all time. For reasons unknown, its hardly ever mentioned in the conversation of best fights ever.

@bestgirl2500 10 ай бұрын

Chad looked phenomenal this fight. The fact Aldo beat this version of Chad is incredible and one of Aldo's greatest accomplishments.

@Ricatonniisasavage8854 10 ай бұрын

People forget how Good of a Fighter Chad Mendes was in his Prime. For Aldo to have beat him the way he did, just shows how GREAT Aldo is. I love Volk & Holloway too, but I’m convinced this version of Chad Mendes, beats anyone not named Jose Aldo.

@ryanhalvorsen6497 10 ай бұрын

@@Ricatonniisasavage8854not in my opinion. Both of these guys looked strong and fast but not near as sharp, calculated, and polished like volk or max. I got max rn or prime volk beating the other prime chad or Aldo

@@ryanhalvorsen6497 people really sleep on how good Mendes was on that small run he went on after the first Aldo loss. Even against Lamas, he was an Animal. Also, 2011-2013 Aldo was a whole different Beast. It would be a tough test for Volk or Holloway to withstand the Vicious Leg Kicks and Fast Hands of Aldo. I’ve always thought Aldo straight out of the WEC up to the Second Mendes Fight, is one of The Greatest Fighters ever of The Lighter Weight Classes. Volk in his Prime was a Beast too, but gah, the Aldo that beat Hominick, Ken Flo, and even Frankie the first time, would be a tough task for him.

@ryanhalvorsen6497 10 ай бұрын

@@Ricatonniisasavage8854 I could see prime Aldo or Mendez beating prime max or volk but if I was betting my money. I bet on max or volk. I think the amount of game plan and steady out put would be too much for Aldo or chad. Chad and Aldo were fast and strong but I think the game plan wins for the newer guys

Chad fought McGregor better than anybody during his run to double champ. It was such a good fight he was beatin Conor up and then just got sniped by that left hand

@rhysnichols8608 8 ай бұрын

Chad shower the blue print to bear Conor. I think Chad made the mistake of going for a finish, Chad was dominating with take downs and was sat landing elbows on McGregor almost at will for 80% of round 2, he tried to go for a submission but Connor escaped and got a great KO, but I feel if Chad just grinded out the rounds and sat on top he would’ve won decision. He already won round 1 and most of round2 with his superior wrestling skills.

@ak-jxrdy-7 10 ай бұрын

Mendes did great. I just feel that he relied a bit too much on his rear uppercut. He had success with the lead jab and teep to the body (should've used it more). Also, his leg kicks were too naked. He'd do better if he faked the jab and maybe a fake cross before a leg kick or teep. Great performance from Aldo though. Good fight.

Mendes was robbed. This was such a close match. I doubt it would have been so close if not for that after the bell combination. Shots like that really do serious damage and drain considerable stamina. Yet Mendes still almost squeaked out the win.

@CMfuell 10 ай бұрын

@@elijahzamora4742 it was such a close match despite him getting damn near KO'd after the bell. Taking a hit like that takes a lot out of you, and makes it easier for subsequent shots to actually knock you out. Or do you believe such hits have no effect on fighters and they are just as good as if not taking it? And yet he still almost won it. So yes, he was robbed.

I think pfp 1st rd Jose was the hardest hitter, punches and kicks, of all time. He hit so hard and was so fast and takedown defense greatest of all time. Chad was great too in his prime and prolly would’ve won a title but Aldo was their and he was the best to ever do it at 45.

Stand left fists, angle right when in stance with both fists to flort the left handed attacks of your opponent, then move your right leg behind your left leg when not thrown off guard, and attack the right side of your opponent, then switch and attack the left side in left stance, then switch to right handed again and attack the left again, and work on
