Rematch!
It took awhile, but "Money" will finally get to cash in his rematch.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight kingpin Jose Aldo has agreed to give Chad Mendes a second crack at the 145-pound crown at the upcoming UFC 176 pay-per-view (PPV) event, which is now official for Aug. 2, 2014, inside the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
LA Times brought word of the pending match up earlier today.
Aldo (21-1) hasn't lost in nearly nine years and already has six UFC title defenses to his credit. That includes a first-round knockout over Mendes (16-1) back at UFC 142 in Brazil (more on that fight here). Prior to eating a knee to the dome, "Money" looked to be on his way to securing a much-needed takedown.
Until a "Junior" fence grab kept him on his feet.
Would it have made a difference? No one can say for sure, but Mendes -- winner of five straight -- can lend us some insight this summer if and when he can get his arms around the Brazilian for a second time. To date, no contender has been able to overcome the champ's blend of speed and power.
And leg kicks.
No other fights have been revealed for the upcoming UFC 176 line up; however, tickets are expected to go on sale on June 13. Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for more additions to this recently-announced fight card as they become available.
Until then ... who ya' got?
