Totally agree. I think his strategy is working though. I think he's going to get Aldo off his game, i can see him winning the fight.

Wow I thought Masvidal got robbed against Iaquinta, Mendes knocks out Lamas in the first round after Lamas started well.

Ben Henderson said he'd make 170lbs since 186 looks pretty lack luster name wise, definitely not PPV worthy. I cannot wait for 187 though. The Rockhold/Machida card looks great too.

Masvidal most certainly got robbed. The first could have been a 10-8 (maybe should have been) and the 2nd was definitely his. I could MAYBE see the 3rd going to Iaquinta but even that one could have went to Masvidal.

Iaquinta didn't make any fans with his reaction to the crowd either (he may have got a talking to from the powers that be as well).

UFC 186 was awesome at first, completely fell apart. Next weeks card on FOX makes up for it thought somewhat, great free card. 187 is insane, please no injuries.

No thoughts on Mendes vs. Lamas?!?! I intentionally stayed away from this thread because I hadn't seen the fight yet, but now 2-3 days later... I've finally had a chance to go back and watch the fight... I come here, and NOTHING. :-/ I thought one of the guys looked GREAT and is definitely ready for the winner of Aldo/McGregor. I won't say who in case people haven't seen the Mendes/Lamas fight yet.

Mendes isn't getting a 3rd crack at Aldo. Maybe he'll get McGregor, but most likely not, since there will be an immediate rematch. My guess is Chad fights Edgar or Faber.

Mendes is beast with his power, speed and wrestling. If he couldn't beat Aldo I'm not sure anyone can.

I think Mendes might be a bad matchup for McGregor as well because of his wrestling. Mendes is awesome he's just stuck in a weight class with Aldo.

Chad has good wrestling but doesn't really have a smothering top game. I'd like to see him vs Edgar if Frankie beats Faber.

I suspect we might see two out of those three, not sure Mendes and Faber would ever fight, maybe for a title.

Rumors of Nate Diaz vs Matt Brown at UFC 189, what a sick fight that is, foty candidate. Card is shaping up to be huge also.

Maybe "you're only as good as your last fight" is stuck in my head, but I just don't see Diaz beating Brown.

Well he had broken ribs going into that fight and wasn't in shape hence why he missed weight, he certainly can perform better than he did last time out. Tough fight against the bigger Brown but that's definitely a good match up for him, Brown isn't a big wrestler that holds people down. This will play out on the feet primarily I think.

Diaz beat the piss out of Maynard, so i now he can beat wrestlers. I'm sure it'll be a great match up, but man his last fight was brutal.

His tdd has gotten a lot better. Won't matter against Brown though because the fight will stay standing unless there is a knockdown. Brown is weak to the body so that may be a path to victory for Nate.

To be fair the Maynard he destroyed was hardly even UFC caliber. He fell off a cliff after his last loss to Frankie.

Diaz was beaten on the feet vs. Bendo, RDA and Thompson. This will be an interesting match up though, and it's a great fight!

Yeah it's sad to see what has happened to Gray, went from being one of the best t unranked and really having durability issues.

I also wonder if some of the enhanced drug testing caught up to him. He used to be a monster, and can't take anyone down anymore.
