Jose Aldo defeats Chad Mendes by Knockout. The stoppage came at 4:59 in the first round.
Chad Mendes opened up the first round with leg kicks. Jose Aldo responded with his own that landed much heavier. Chad Mendes failed on his first takedown attempt. Huge leg kick landed for Aldo. Chad Mendes came forward with a combination but missed on every strike attempt. Aldo landed a huge uppercut just before Chad Mendes attempted a deep single leg takedown. Mendes committed to a takedown attempt from outside but came up empty as Aldo stepped away. Chad Mendes landed his best leg kick of the fight with a minute left. Jose Aldo attempted a flying knee and Chad got the fight to the ground momentarily. He took Aldo's back and when he attempted a throw Aldo grabbed the fence. Aldo knocks out Chad Mendes with a knee and strikes with seconds remaining in the round.
After the knockout Aldo ran out of the cage and dove right into the crowd to celebrate with his countrymen. He almost caused a riot getting carried back to the cage on someone's shoulders. It is his most dominant win as a UFC fighter and he's still the UFC featherweight champion.

If he doesn’t grab the fence then I don’t think that unfolds the same

I agree he doesn’t get the knockout right then and there but mendes had back control and still had a very hard time to take him down. Aldo wins this fight regardless
Exactly. Complete bullshit. He grabbed the fence so hard i thought he would throw his shoulder out when mendes tried to pull him away.If he didnt things are entirely different.

If he didn't he knocks Mendes out in the second instead
Not to condone rule-breaking, but Mendes had nothing.
"Nothin' wrong with an ass whuppin' every now and then. You take away the ass whuppin's and what do you get? You get people wearin' pants below their belly buttons. I'm tellin' you, you go out these days and see the crack of a young lady's butt. It's crazy, man. They should be locked up for indecent exposure. Look here. See? Suspenders! And a belt! I ain't takin' no chances."
He got thrown to the wolf and he wasn't good enough.
No conspiracy needed.

Not everything is a conspiracy, he was put up against the champ way too soon and it was for the enjoyment of the rio crowd. On paper 11-0 looks pretty damn good, a deeper look shows a who’s who of nobodys and decisions to complete that 11-0, now 11-1 record.
Oh sorry, I misunderstood you.
I actually agree, he wasn’t ready for Aldo, but featherweight is a thin division and Aldo is a very dominant champion. Based on what Aldo did to Urijah Faber this really wasn’t a surprising outcome. Mendes was in a similar situation to someone like Demian Maia when he got his title shot, except that Aldo doesn’t clown around.

I’ll admit, given aldo’s last couple performances I was expecting mendes to last more than a round lol. But its the same thing on the england cards, they put england natives against people that are ranked underdogs on all the betting lines. You can’t blame the ufc its just good business to give the hometown crowd a good time.
him and barboza should both get it
Fighting is like champagne. It goes to the heads of cowards as quickly as of heroes. Any fool can be brave on a battlefield when it's be brave or else be killed.

Featherweight division is pretty weak though… It’s not like the light heavys or lightweight. Aldo will run shit 4 awhile cuz of this.

Featherweight divison is weak; period. Aldos greatness wud be mor legit if he wAs running thru top rated fightrs.

Dude, how many lightweights were beating florian? Manny is a monster and mike brown had legit power, faber is the man, hominic is dangerous. Aldo is fighting legit guys, to try to take anything away from them is crazy.

I would have thought Jose dominating Kenny Florian in their fight(remember all the LWs were gonna go down and beat all the FWs because they sucked?) would have ended this misconception. FW isn’t a weak weightclass.

I'm sure that shiny belt and the adulation of thousands will console him.

Because sherk has better credentials or wrestling than Edgar????

Happy as hell for aldo.
Yea the fence grab did suck but mendes attempted the same takedown 15 seconds later and aldo defended it perfectly. And his jumping into the crowd was a perfect way to end the night

That doesn't change the fact that aldo was literally horizontal he would have been on the ground off that one.

I think part of what made Yamasaki kind of gunshy to take points was Joe Rogan's dumbass calling him on an earlier mistake
Same thing happened with Yves when he stopped a fight too early and the rest of the card(and a couple cards later) people were half dead before he’d stop the fight.

Aldo's fence grab was ridiculous and should've resulted in a point deduction.
But it was quite clear that Mendes had nothing for him on the feet and nothing for him with the takedowns.
So I’m kinda glad it unfolded as it did.
I guess Aldo can handle wrestlers at 145.

I guess Aldo can handle wrestlers at 145.
This should have been obvious when he handled all the wrestlers at 145.

This is all I have wanted for years now.
The first time I saw Chad Mendez lay on top of someone in the WEC I told my girlfriend that all I wanted was to see this guy win just so he could face Jose Aldo and eat a knee. I jumped out of my seat tonight. Yes I am a huge Aldo fan but still, this is how you stop the lay n’ prayers…
Maybe the NFL thriller affected my brain
But this PPV wasn’t nearly as “awesome” as people made it out to be. It was a very fun and good event but not a lot of “standout” matches. Etim/Barboza was fun and then we had a squash match, a DQ, a tainted MW fight because Rumble can’t make 185, and then the violence of Aldo/Mendes.
Good show, but not some card of the year kind of thing.
I’m ready to put Aldo into top 5 p4p. At least tie him with Cruz in that regard.

except cruz can't finish a fight to save his life

It was a fun night of fights, but there wasn’t a great fight of the bunch. All of the fights were either very one sided or not really that eventful.

That is crazy
He’s looked far more dominant than Cruz ever has.
People are forgetting the close decisions and complete lack of damage.

Not to mention that Cruz has been hit cleanly many times and been wobbled a few times
Urijah landed hard punches to the face of Cruz – strikes he was nowhere near landing on Aldo.
Curious how a Brazil card would do without having a brazillian in every fight, i mean main even obviously but i wonder if they’d care.
"I can kick you really hard." - Mauricio "Shogun" Rua
It was a good card to start off the new year
Yeah the Maseenzio/Paul Harris fight was a little one sided but the rest on paper at least were competitive. :0)
Who wasn’t excited for Barboza/Etim though? C’mon.
I love the look on security's faces when he just runs by them.

Aldo was never in any danger.
Security really should have backed off of him there. In no way was anybody in that crowd going to hurt him.
