Aldo vs Florian

[Educ8d Degener8]

Because there is NOBODY in the division I could see beating any of these two guys. They will both CHEW UP Erik Koch and SPIT him back out. If Aldo beats Florian, he is not losing to a lesser opponent next, and if Florian beats Aldo, he surely isn't losing his first title defense to a MUCH lesser opponent than Aldo.

It didn't matter to me who Jon Jones and Anderson Silva fought in their last matches, I could have told you they were going to win their next fights before their opponents were announced, just like I know they are going to win their next 2, as well. I would blindly bet on the next Silva fight, on Jones over Rashad, and on the winner of Aldo/Florian vs Koch/whoever.

I honestly can't stand Chad Mendes (though love his predictability for betting purposes)... and even I think you are discrediting him.

Aldo hasn't fought a wrestler of Mendes' caliber and those Alpha Male clones have good gas tanks, so if Hominick could take down a worn Aldo (disclaimer: injury may have influenced Aldo there, ok), then I think Mendes may be able to do so.

And I don't wanna hear that Aldo faced a great wrestler in Faber -- that dude hasn't used his wrestling base in... I can't remember the last time. And yes -- I do not rate MTB's wrestling on Money's level either.

Aldo's TDD has looked good against lesser TD artists, and the sky is the limit with the kid, but to dismiss Mendes at this point is a bit premature.

That fact that you aren't even cognizant of Chad Mendes being the #1 contender is perhaps the most troubling aspect of your forecasted "lock".

[Vaughany]

Man, I would LOVE a match-up between Erik Koch and Chad Mendes for the #1 contendership... Mendes would really be MONEY MENDES in that fight... especially coming off that poor performance against Jonathan Brookins, I would really want to go all in on Mendes.

U realise they have already fought?

lol that guarantee/lock line was meant in the vein of humor, although i feel that will be the outcome.

gotta admit, though, i honestly didn't think of chad mendes when i was thinking of top featherweights...and i KNOW he's basically next in line for a titleshot... he/that fact had just completely slipped from my mind when i was posting that.

[gabe]

yes, that's why i said what i said. koch's wants his titleshot, mendes wouldn't let that happen... and i think that would be a fair #1 contendership match... mendes should have to beat someone like koch first, he was a HUGE favorite against the last guy he fought. that wasn't a fight that earns a titleshot, in my eyes.

Thts my point, he already has!

[Vitooch]

Guys, Florian winning by decision is at +700 right now. If Aldo by some chance gases again in the later rounds, Florian may be able to take him down and control him like he did Diego Nunes and edge out a close decision.

I put a small bet on that along with a bigger bet on Aldo winning inside the distance, which is the most likely outcome, along with an Aldo/Guillard parlay.

[Educ8d Degener8]

Hedging with the KFlo +700 by dec as well -- as Aldo is the closer on a 5 fight parlay that is 4/4 so far...

You understand that Aldo was sick and fighting a bacterial infection for at least a week before the fight.

AND he still kicked around Hominik for 4 out of 5 rounds. Kenflo decision should be much higher than +700.

I'm pretty good with photoshop, so I've went ahead and made an image of how Mendes vs Koch might look... just for you...

[ghost kid]

Ha ! Well played Educa8d. Well played indeed.

Anybody who assumed I didn't know they had fought before is retahhhded. Did I say anything that implied it would be their first meeting? If anything, what I said implies that they have previously fought before. Their previous match was the reason I said what I said. Mendes owns Koch. You guys aren't too bright.

See underlined text from one of your earlier posts... yes -- your contextual clues indicate that you failed to realize the two gladiators had met in the cage of battle previously...

Why say something so inane when he has beat someone just like Erik Koch as it turns out... but you knew that... otherwise, you'd be retahhhded.

What's that map supposed to be?

Dude, seriously, how low is your IQ? Mendes beat Koch a LONG TIME AGO in the WEC. Since then, Koch has been on a win streak in the UFC and is just as worthy of a title shot as Mendes is... Just because Mendes has beat Koch before means that Koch automatically is counted out of a #1 contendership match-up? WTF are you smoking, son?!

Not sure but I think I see the Grim Reaper smoking a bowl in there somewhere.

[FightFightFight]

Koch-Mendes was only a year and a half ago. Had to be said.

[FightFightFight]

Just seems like a long time ago, because it was before you started watching mma.

[gabe]

No, it seems like a long time ago because they have fought a handful of times since then. Because Koch has climbed his way up since that loss. Fool.

I was watching UFC 1 live on pay per view, when I was a kid. Suck it e z.

You watched ufc 1 live on pay-per-view my ass. More blatant bragging.

You should be happy, I helped you find that game you wanted to play so bad. Go get it, nerd.

Impress? How highly do you think of yourself that you think I would be wanting to impress you with anything? Get the fuhk outta here. Yeah right, I want to impress a bunch of dumbasses with MMA picks and fight history knowledge. Are you kidding me? You f**king geek.

PS- I am really curious to know where you were "educ8d" because I would bet all my winnings from the Dominic Cruz fight on the fact that your IQ is not even in the triple digits.

LOL... Woah, slow down keyboard tough guy with the whole IQ accusations... Really? Is that the best sh*t you got?! For f*ck's sake, is the "b" in your screen name silent?!

You'll fit right in with the shertards. Though, given your propensity for saying blatantly stupid sh*t, I would presume you are a seasoned veteran on that board. I'm talking Jeremy Horn type veteran level -- you know him right? -- I mean, you have been watching mma since UFC 1 live on pay per view after all...

So go ahead and bet all your winnings from the Dominick Cruz fight... (Lemme guess, you "locked" in with a near -500 fav in Cruz... wow, gutsy call there) How the heck did Demetrious Johnson get a title fight anyway?! He should've had to beat someone like Miguel Torres to get a title shot...

See what I did there?
