9 Reasons why JoeZay the Fencegrabber can't beat Mendes again




1) JoeZay won't be allowed to grab the fence again to prevent violent takedowns. The ref will be under lots of pressure not to allow a repeat.

2) JoeZay's chances of landing another 'lucky knee' are less than 1%. That knee was just as lucky as JDS landing that overhand right behind Cain's ear. That knee was perfectly timed during a sloppy takedown attempt but Mendes has learned to set them up better. Without that lucky knee Aldo cannot KO Mendes since his punches are girlie.

3) JoeZay won't be able to land his patented leg kicks without being taken down and controlled on the ground. Even Hominick controlled Aldo on the ground for an ENTIRE ROUND. Aldo will be gunshy to throw leg kicks and he'll be taken down if he does throw them. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

4)
Mendes has boosted his stand up game WAY beyond where it was the first time they fought. His game has EVOLVED.

5)
Aldo's game hasn't evolved AT ALL. He's the same STALE fighter. No evolution. Just a leg kicking machine who grabs the fence.

6) Mendes' game is just as diverse as Cain's game. His striking will setup his takedowns and his takedowns will setup his striking. He's basically a mini Cain Velasquez. JoeZay is just a mini JDS.

7) Mendes just plain wants it more. He's been fuming over that previous loss and he's trained hard to overcome every weakness from the first fight. He's mentally superior to the Fencegrabber.

8) Renan Barao's loss has shaken Aldo's confidence to its core. He's secretly shitting his pants now. He feels tremendous pressure not to lose his crown on home turf. This added pressure will make him crack like an egg.

9) Mathematically speaking, I've computed that Aldo has less than a 5% chance of winning this rematch. Many variables went into this calculation.

If you're a fanboy who thinks JoeZay the Fencegrabber will destroy Mendes then please backup your bravado by posting how much you've bet on Aldo.

I'm the thread starter so I don't have to show jack shit to you shit talkers. My post is my credibility.

After next Saturday please bump this thread to acknowledge the truth and express your humility.
