UFC 179: Aldo vs. Mendes 2 was a mixed martial arts event held on October 25, 2014, at Ginásio do Maracanãzinho in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The event was headlined by a Featherweight Championship rematch between the current champion José Aldo, and top contender Chad Mendes. Their first fight at UFC 142, also contested in Rio de Janeiro, ended in a first round knockout victory in favor of Aldo.
The headliner was originally scheduled to take place on August 2, 2014, at UFC 176. However, on July 2, Aldo pulled out of the fight citing a neck injury suffered during training. Subsequent to Aldo's injury, that event was postponed on July 8, when the UFC announced they were unable to replace the original main event fight and with less than a month before the event, the decision was made to postpone the event - though the promotion said the numbering scheme for already scheduled pay-per-views after it, including UFC 177 in Sacramento on August 30, would remain in consecutive order. That entire fight card was re-booked for other events
UFC 179 brought fight fans an exciting title fight as Jose Aldo and Chad Mendes faced off in a long-awaited rematch.
The do-over has been years in the making. While Aldo won the original fight by knockout with a devastating knee in the first round, Mendes had been making fighter after fighter look completely overmatched.
Entering the fight, the question was how much had Mendes improved relative to the champ? He certainly demonstrated a better-polished game. While Mendes had little to offer other than a big right hand and a strong double-leg takedown back in 2012, he showed a more diverse striking attack, complemented by his strong wrestling.
Ultimately, though, Aldo was still too much for the other guy named "Money." With his signature jab and impregnable takedown defense, he got the better of the majority of exchanges and racked up points en route to a unanimous 49-46 decision win.
The question of "what did we learn from this fight?" can be answered in many ways.
Jose Aldo showed he was still capable of rising above a game challenger, something we haven't seen him do (or have to do) in years. The champ cruised to unimpressive wins over Chan-Sung Jung and Ricardo Lamas with little effort. Some, most notably the mouthy then-contender Conor McGregor, speculated that this was a sign that he had reached a technical plateau.
Aldo is by far one of the greatest cage fighters ever. Such a beast
Gave Jose all he could handle
These dudes are tossing hammers. 49-46 is a scam
lol what? Aldo definitely won 4 rounds and maybe the 4th round which Mendes won. Hit the much cleaner shots. Mendes landed takedowns that ended up with Aldo dominating him on the ground too
no fucking way...
🤨
Agree
Is it? It was a great back and forth but i thought Aldo won rounds 1,2,3,5 very clearly
Two of the most badass fighter in the UFC my respect for those two guys
If you haven’t been leg kicked it’s hard to understand how impressive their pain tolerance is. A light tap causes pain. These guys are taking baseball bats to their body at full force and not even flinching
I just took Urijah Fabers leg after the Aldo Fight, compared to the leg of a friend of mine, who was beaten up with a baton by securitys. I can tell, Urijahs leg looked waaaay worse then my friend's. Jose Aldo wouldn't need batons or baseball bats at all to fuck someone up.
@@drdoom5516 Aldo is one of the best kickers in mma history....
@@abhinavbishwakarma5593 Yeah he is.
This fight makes me a mixed martial arts fan! After this I watched almost every UFC event and I am in love with this sport, but this fight and some others are unrepeatable.
Uma das. Melhor luta que já assisti
both these guys are made out of metal... warriors
its always weird when the guy who lost looks like he went for a jog and the guy who won looks like he took a brick to the face
Not scored based on damage
@@erick7704 wrong
Aldo is definitely one of the goats
You need to be very clever if you fight him. One tip if he punches. Just kick immediately. If kicks just punch immediately
Knlm
@@kitiwelodge2684 easier said than done 😂
best fight of all time
What an absolute war
I thought Mendes had almost done enough tbh..
Toe to toe fight best match ever
Best highlights of all time
My goodness epic fight
Salute to both warriors!
very nice fight this game 👍👏👏❤️……thanks your videos
Dos grandes guerreros les felicito a los dos x el gran combate
That punch after the bell was hella dirty lol
Yeah it was tough seeing Aldo do that.. usually he’s more respectable than that. I like to think he had this combo locked in before the horn sounded but then again there’s no way he couldn’t have heard the horn
Hardhitting back and forth fight
2:03 Danas reaction to mendes getting hit after the buzzer lmfaoooooo!!! edit: to be fair he was probably just happy to see he wasnt unfairly knocked out
Outstanding fight both👍
Have watch again looks like a draw
You shouldnt watch highlights to score a fight
4:40, Chad is the founder of foot stomps, don't ever forget !
The combinations in the first round were scary and fast
Great fight!
49-46?!?!?!?!? What fight were they watching?
Legend
great fight
Super fight
But what I notice most fighters know how to kick, but can't avoid that kick
캬~~ 지려부렸다
49-46!??? WHAT!?
This fight to me shoulda been a draw so they can complete their trilogy.. . I'm js.. . And Mendez had a lot of set up ko positions but couldn't execute dem bc Aldo wasnt tryna get knocked out plus Mendez arms was shorter he couldn't get within good reach with Aldo.. .
Serie bueno pero no sé dará como.muchas lesnar vs Mir un claro ejemplo
Super
Mendez was a tough fight for anyone and everyone facts!!!!
Это лучшее что я видел
1,5 jose aldo 4 chad mendes 2,3 draw😅
Salam kenal dari Bali

Tran nay hay nhat quả đất ko co vật mà ăn miếng trả miếng luon ai khỏe nhanh chịu tốt la thắng công bằng
49/46??
What a fight!terrible
Zoo heev sib pab nawb pab koj lawm
Cheap shot from Aldo way after the bell! 😠
That's why a part of me could forgive McGregor the bullying of Aldo. Dude's been an asshole himself sometimes.
@@drdoom5516was satisfying seeing Dustin send McNuggets to the shadow realm
@@uncletheoneshotkid3001 Yes but not as much as Chad Mendes taking him to the ground and cutting his face with elbows. That was badass
The referee unfairly scored the blue mandarin, although he fell when he left the group. When attacking, it is very nine punches from the bottom of the chin up. So how do you score if you don't understand?😌😌😏😏
What in the fuck?
what the fuck is this
Chad is built like a wall , someone tell how come he isn’t as strong as he looks ?
He’s very short and muscle always looks more defined and toned on a shorter stocky man even if he’s on exactly the same workout and diet as a 6 foot 5 guy chad’s body would likely still look more defined. So many say he’s used PED’s but I’m not quite sure on that.
@@trueking1857 he was definitely on PEDs lol. Just watch his Recent bare knuckle debut. Still huge and veiny
The commentators were lame. Imagine if it Rogan and DC were commenting this fight...
Their reaction to aldo throwing the one two after their buzzer would have been so funny
49-46? Wtf?
Have you seen the whole fight or just the highlights???? Stfu
Watch the actual fight
Aldo win
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏☝️☝️☝️
Who the fu.k is that guy?
I’m gonna smesh your boy.
Anyone else notice Conor watching from the sidelines…
Time stamp?

How did he lose to Max in Brazil and McGregor in 9 seconds..He has no chin and certainly not a goat..
Cause McGregor has a Savage left hook that's why. 🇮🇪
