Chad takes this one

 

[thebaconator]

Chad by UD, a step up in competition but was hoping hed take a bigger one, guess he really wants to stay busy and get that Anderson money

 

[Go Go Plata]

Damn, they are never gonna give Manny a soft ball, are they?

 

[Mr. Hammer]

Big step up in competition for Mendes, he's been smashing jobbers since the Aldo loss. I still think he'll win this one though.

 

[thiagoop]

Chad keeps it smart, he should take this.

 

[Pennisland]

Odd Matchup. Chad better watchout for the haymakers

 

[prodigybest]

Big test for Manny..... War Manny I guess but I dont think he will, Im am pulling for him though

 

[Mark Andeya]

Mendes should be able to control the clinch for most of the fight and get the unspectacular UD imo. But don't count out Anvel connecting with a huge KO punch. Great fight imo. Gamburyan is about the level of fighter Mendes should have gotten immediately after his misstep against Aldo.

 

[RearNakedCh0ke]

I hope Mendes win this one.

 

[theycallitMurda]

lol at this matchup, give Mendes someone in the top 5-10 already.. Jesus!! What's Manny? Top 30-40?

 

[HuntersCreed]

Damn, they are never gonna give Manny a soft ball, are they?

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[GordaoPreguico]

Interesting fight. Will definitely watch.

Mendes needs a top 10 opponent and anything less is not good enough. He's fighting guys way below him in the rankings when he probably is the #2 featherweight.

 

[KieranWand]

mendes getting the fitch treatment

 

[PabloZed]

Puzzling match-up for reasons already stated, but oftentimes I find myself doubting less after the actual fight. But this is nevertheless a head scratcher.

I think it means the UFC doesn't want Mendes to fight for the title again anytime soon.

 

[MindOverMuscle]

After two squash matches they set Mendes up with a 3rd? Manny got dropped by Omigawa what do you think Mendes would do to him? Probably another KO.

 

[Ancient**]

Mendes gonna take it

 

[Tyrannosaurus rex]

IMO, this is a mismatch. Too high for Manny and too low on the ladder for Chad.

But since not a lot of top FW opponents are available maybe he wants to stay busy.

 

[MMAdict]

Makes little sense and style wise I don't see manny giving mendes trouble. Dias was a better fight but whatever. Manny gets fed to the sharks all the time. I guess the UFC is just keeping chad busy with highlight reel fights til Aldo vacates.

manny is in trouble
