The UFC is back!
After a plethora of fight cards throughout 2014 the UFC gave everyone a few weeks break from action. Now an 11-fight slate brings back MMA action. UFC 179 takes place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The main event is a rematch between Chad “Money” Mendes and Jose Aldo. The two originally battled in Brazil at UFC 142 in 2012. More than two years later Mendes has earned another crack at the championship. Mendes’ first bid ended in the first round after Aldo broke free and turned to unleash a brutal knee to Mendes’ face.
Outside of the main event there are plenty of quality fights that should satisfy the fan’s desire for finishes.
