Team Captain for Ruining Your Special Night. That's what we do.
Aldo running into the crowd is one of the greatest moments in MMA I've ever witnessed.
It’s amazing how great of a fighter this guy is. Mendes had the best shot of beating him of all the current Featherweights and Aldo shrugged off his takedowns like they were nothing
The man is amazing.

For Aldo's Next Fight
I’d like to see him fight on UFC on FOX 3, maybe a Co-Main Event to Jones/Evans (i know I’m ahead of myself)? I’ve seen it said around here that the Korean Zombie should be the next in line, and it would make for a great fight on basic cable. I don’t know if it will be much of a challenge for Aldo, but UFC has to be thinking about padding his record for a mega-fight with Frankie Edgar.
Anyone else feel some BJ Penn nostalgia during this moment.

I don't know more about MMA than you, I just act like it at HeadKickLegend
- Aldo is not finishing fights like he used to.
- He’s boring.
- He never faced a wrestler (or insert any other discipline) like Mendes in his career. After all, you know wrestling is the best-of-the-best-of-the-best for MMA, blah, blah, blah . . .
Well now people can stop repeating those tired cliches for a while.
Of course, I’m sure there will be many calls for Aldo to move up to lightweight.
Oh yeah . . . Aldo is ducking Frankie Edgar, Ben Henderson, Clay Guida, Cerrone and a number of lightweights in the UFC.
Is this an example of late night trolling?

Ab-so-fucking lutely Amazing!!!
Aldo finishes off Mendes one second before the round ends
If Jose’s not top 3 or 4 P4P I don’t know who is
Absolutely amazing!!!!

Chills is what I feel.
This is the sort of reaction that makes a sport.
And the UFC’s security nearly prevented it.
Fantastic moment.
Cheater
Aldo is a cheater and prevented Mendes from taking him down by holding the cage. Who knows what would’ve happened if the fight had gone to the ground. I can’t believe the ref didn’t stop the action to take a point away from Aldo right there and then. That was beyond ridiculous.
With that said, awesome finish Aldo. You had to cheat, but you finally got your finish in the UFC. Well done.
Someone's butt hurt.
A lot of people grab the fence, most of the time it is just a reflex and the ref just takes their hand off or yells at them, they don’t stop the match. By your logic, Aldo grabs fence, the ref stops match, Mendes further loses his advantage (which he didn’t have in the first place) and they go back into the middle of the ring standing where Mendes definitely didn’t have the advantage either.
It’s a lose-lose.

I don’t care. It probably wouldn’t have changed anything, but it’s still an illegal move and he possibly benefited greatly by grabbing the fence. What if Mendes throws him to the ground and injures him in the proccess, earning Mendes a TKO victory? It could have changed something. That’s my point.
I’d like to see the referee stop the action in this situation, take a point away, and restart the action with the guys against the fence in the exact same position.
What do you want?
For Aldo to be disqualified for one cage grab? Otherwise the fight ends the same way.
How do you know? How do you know that Mendes couldn’t have done something on the ground? That’s my point. We don’t know.
Well it’s not like the referee is going to stop the fight and give Mendes top position on the ground, so I’m not sure exactly what you wanted to happen. I would’ve been fine with Aldo losing a point, but it wouldn’t have made a difference in the outcome.
If grabbing the fence is a foul, why not stop the fight to take a point? Also, since Aldo was clearly going down without that intentional foul, why not restart the fight with Mendes in Aldo’s guard?
Those highlights missed all of the major part of the fight
The fence grab

Too true, and thanks to Grappo we have these
Shazam!
People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.
