Chad Mendes' next fight

[Fatback96]

Who should it be? I was thinking maybe Max Holloway. I'm glad he's taken a bit of time off to recover from the 2 losses he's had. After the appropriate amount of time, what should be his next move?

 

[yookfarb]

I'd like to see him fight Barao in the fall.

 

[Spookv]

Shouldn't be Holloway, should be Charles Oliviera or Nik Lentz. Holloway should fight Lamas. He needs someone lower on the rankings to gain some confidence to see if he still got it. Holloway right now is on the rise and a third loss would be devastating for Mendes.

 

[The lord of bones]

Jeez another guy who Frankie beat first, let Holloway fight Lamas and let Mendes fight the winner of Barao vs. Stephens unless he takes a fight with somebody like Bermudez before then.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Barao vs Stephens winner seems like a good idea

 

[HaulParris]

He needs a rebound fight. Someone like Siver, to build Mendes back up. Meanwhile, Barao/Stephens/Holloway can get a crack at the belt.

Aldo
McGregor
Edgar

That's three but you want him to fight Holloway #5 next?

Let him face an unranked guy for now.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Should be vs holloway.

If edgar had to fight mendes, holloway should too.

he already beat Lentz, also he is LW now and won't come back to FW

Mendes vs. Oliveira/Bermudez/Holloway/ Stephens vs. Barao loser or winner is good

 

[Bogeyman]

Cody McKenzie rematch.

 

[dead joe]

Cub Swanson or Bermudez.

 

[VB MMA]

Mendes has proven he is not a title contender. Either that, or he is just a sell-out. Have him Fight one of his losses. If he can redeem himself, then he can make it back into Title-Contention. Otherwise, he is just a Gatekeeper.

 

[MarloStanfield]

someone who doesnt punch hard

 

[Lissove]

Swanson or Stephan

Holloway should fight Oliveira.

Max Holloway and winner gets winner of Conor vs Aldo/Edgar winner.

Winner.

 

[RayA]

Personally, I'd like to see him fight Barao. It would be, what, Barao's third TAM member?

 

[maxi diablo]

I like the Lamas fight.

 

[HHJ]

He needs a rebound fight. Someone like Siver, to build Mendes back up. Meanwhile, Barao/Stephens/Holloway can get a crack at the belt.

Not mad at that.

 

[conorbless1]

Instant rematch with Conor obviously. Mendes was simply inefficient with his energy the first time. He blew his load early in the fight. He should have known that the bigger man would be able to absorb his shots. The weight allowed McGregor to take Mendes' shots well. It was simply Mendes fighting a heavier man. It was a battle of energy. Mendes was winning until the shift of energy happened in the fight. Not to mention he fought a welterweight, two weight classes above him.
