At UFC 142, Jose Aldo will arguably face his most dangerous opponent to date in Chad “Money” Mendes, a high-level, undefeated wrestler.
The rest of the division has also been active as of late. Florian has decided to move up in division, Hominick has fallen in the rankings, Hioki has entered the UFC and prospects continue to impress.
Aldo will be tested by Mendes, but even if he emerges victorious he won’t catch much of a break.
Here are Aldo’s most dangerous contenders at featherweight.
