Chad Mendes vs Myles Jury

[nick jacoby]

Who's your pick in this one? Myles Jury or Chad Mendes?
Myles has been looking better each fight and Chad hasn't fought in 2 and half years.
Still my feeling is that Chad is still better everywhere. Lets see how his chin is after that long layoff and chance to recover.


In July of 2016 Chad Mendes received a two year suspension from USADA
(Positive for a performance-enhancing drug in an out-of-competition sample May 17, the UFC's anti-doping partner announced Wednesday. The banned substance GHRP-6, also known as growth-hormone releasing hexapeptide, was found in Mendes' system)

*Mendes claimed that the substance he tested positive for came from a skin cream he was using to treat plaque psoriasis.

-Chad Mendes hasn't fought since Dec 11. 2015 when he was KOed by Frankie Edgar at The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale
-July of 2015 he was TKOed by Conor McGregor at UFC 189 for the UFC Interim Featherweight Title.


And without going too much into Myles Jury's record. He is an extremely respectable 17-2.
Back to back wins over Mike De La Torre and Rick Glenn. Correct if Im wrong but he is 2-1 since dropping to featherweight. With his one loss coming to Charles Oliveira

Mendes by Round 2 KO

Should be the co-main

Jury has looked good, but he hasn't fought someone the caliber of Chad in quite a while, not to mention that he lost to the two best guys he's fought. He's not bad by any means, but I don't think he'll beat Chad unless he manages to hurt him early.

I think Mendes lands a right hand in the first and that will be that.

Unless Mendes is extra rusty, I see a clean win for him.

Myles Mendes by split dec

 

[MMAProfessional]

I'm seein Chad going back to his pure wrestling days to get back on track. Might be gun shy due to being KOd a couple times but I hope not.

I don't think we see the old Chad mendes here guys

And Jury looked fucking excellent last time out

Gimme Jury

 

[Filthy Phil]

Hard to pick this one, but I guess I'll have to say Chad since Jury never won against top competition.

 

[Deleted member 510653]

Instead of the nickname "Fury" it should be Miles "Judge And" Jury I've always thought

Gimme Jury

Tough call

 

[Bloodworth]

Lets see how Chad cleaned up....

Should be a fun one

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

unless chad has lost several steps from his layoff, he should fuck jury up.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Mendes should win pretty easily if he's near what he used to be.

He could be a shell of his former self for all we know tho

This should be conventional wisdom, the wildcard is what does Mendes look like coming off years of inactivity and presumably no more use of special creams.

Chad wins this easy if he is allowed to treat his skin condition for the fight.

(You know, the skin condition that causes a perfect golden tan and gives you a six pack).

 

[Krixes]

Mendes by TKO.....

 

[TheShogunner]

Im thinking Jury

 

[TRUS8888]

This is a very underrated and awesome fight!
Looking forward to it.
Going with Jury
