If Chad Mendes were to lose

[HIMBOB]

He has said he can make 135 but he is looking huge lately so maybe that time has passed.

 

[King Bastar]

Duane Ludwig said on one of his appearance on Eddie Bravo Radio that Chad is like 153 pounds before dehydrating to 145, so he could potentially make 135 if he lost, people have made bigger cuts. His best chance at a title is at 145 though, seems to like the best fit of strength/power/speed for him.

Unless his chin is shot i dont see him losing this fight, how could he besides what i have stated

 

[TKZOMBIE]

if Aldo moves up, Mendes vs Edgar for the FW title

 

[LordBarnaby**]

Back to the drawing board with the rest of Team Alpha Male.

Hang at fw until Aldo moves to lw.

This. I don't see anyone else beating him at fw and he's the only one I can see beating Aldo there. So if he loses this one then I see Aldo winning 1 or 2 more then moving up.

Retirement

135 hopefully, he is way too damn small for 155, he will give up like 4-5 inches on every one and Is too naturally small.

Hang at fw until Aldo moves to lw.

Pretty much this.

But with Pettis on the shelf and scheduled with TUF and a fight with Melendez I don't see Aldo moving up for at least a year from now.

If Pettis wins his next fight, Aldo might move up spring/summer of 2015.
