Current UFC Fight Night 71 Betting Odds- Coming to us LIVE this Wednesday, July 15th, at 7PM(PST) is UFC Fight Night. The main event features a Heavyweight bout between Frank Mir and Todd Duffee. I like to call these fights, “proving ground” fights. You have on one side an aging Frank Mir, who we last saw in February knocking out Antonio Silva. On the other side you have Todd Duffee, who’s retuning from a two year absence from a serious medical condition. Duffee hasn’t seen competition like Frank Mir since his return, so hopefully we’ll get to see what he is made of. Even with the recent knockout to Antonio Silva the books in Vegas still have Mir as the underdog entering into this fight at (+150). Most books in Vegas have Duffee sitting at around (-190) making him the favorite entering the octagon. A win would do wonders for the return of Duffee, but a loss will make him wonder if he should have came back at all. This is looking to be a great fight between these two, so be sure to tune into Fox Sports 1 to check it out.

Well, unfortunately what we are all afraid of happened, another injury before a UFC title fight. Jose Aldo has pulled out of UFC 189 and is replaced by Chad Mendes. The UFC has decided to make the winner the interim Champion. Still, though, I do believe we are going to see a great fight. Conor McGregor is posed to become the poster child of the UFC with his obnoxious comments and actions. With that being said, this Irish-man has walked the walked, and not many can say that. Chad Mendes on the other hand doesn’t like to lose to anyone not named Aldo, and doesn’t see that changing any time soon. Myself, and I’m sure all UFC fans alike, we are finally going to see McGregor’s skills put to the test against a formidable opponent. Here’s how I think it’ll go down.

Chad Mendes

Mendes is going to throw everything and the kitchen sink at McGregor. The first step for Mendes is going to be to take McGregor to the mat. Mendes will expose any weakness McGregor might have in his defense. There will be worries about conditioning and fighting three times within the last ten months but let me put those assumptions to rest. Mendes, is healthy all year round and only needs to refine his skills, rather than rebuild them. Also, training for McGregor is nearly pointless. McGregor is extremely unorthodox and I believe the counter-game is what Mendes is refining in the gym. Last, Mendes is going to show McGregor power he has never felt before. McGregor is going to show no respect, like normal, move forward with his hands down and mouth running. My advice for Mendes is to place McGregor on the mat and make him work for everything. Make McGregor exert every ounce of energy he has and then just keep close and strike.

Conor McGregor –

This obnoxious Irish-man can fight as well as he can run his mouth. The UFC, in my opinion, was looking to make him the poster-child of the UFC with a win over Aldo but that obviously has changed. McGregor though doesn’t plan on the outcome changing. He doesn’t think this fight is going to last longer than four minutes whether it be Aldo or Mendes. McGregor possess skills everyone dreams of because they are nightmares to fight against. The unorthodox southpaw dances around the octagon kicking his way to victory. McGregor’s game plan won’t change, he is going to keep his distance the entire fight, throwing kicks and irritating his opponent until they make a mistake in which McGregor will counter. Now, we cant take much from the fight against Siver, because well, it’s Siver but what we can take is the plan never changes. Mendes is going to want to get close, McGregor is going to need to use his powerful jab and kick until Mendes diverts from his game plan and falls into the trap McGregor has set.

Prediction –

I’ll just tell you right off the back, I’m taking Mendes. Now I don’t believe in any sense that McGregor has a glass chin but a counter by Mendes is going to place McGregor on his back. McGregor is going to spend the entire rest of the fight trying to regain position, exerting all of the energy in his tank. Mendes is going to use his wrestling skills to keep McGregor on his back frustrating him until the final bell. I’m not sure about you all but I’m already prepping for Aldo vs. Mendes III

Winner – By Decision – Chad Mendes

Current UFC 189 Betting Odds – Coming to us LIVE from the Grand Garden Arena in beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada, comes UFC 189. This event will showcase a fight nearly a year in the making. The Champion Jose Aldo will square off against the mouth-running Irishman Conor McGregor. I know we’ve had some animosity before between fighters prior to a championship fight but nothing I believe compares to this. From McGregor nearly attacking Aldo after his match with Siver along with calling out his manliness just recently, McGregor has some serious walking to do. The real question is going to be if Aldo is healthy. If not, this could be a tough match to watch. McGregor already has the confidence to win this fight let alone the skills, add in an unhealthy Aldo and we could witness a new champion being crowned. The thing is, Las Vegas already believes a new champion is going to be crowned. They have McGregor at -140 and Aldo hovering around +120. Myself, and I’m sure many others, are hoping to see a healthy Aldo step into the right so that UFC fans can watch the fight we deserve.
