Main page > Redcliffe Leagues Club > UFC 179 - Aldo Vs Mendes 2
It's the biggest rematch in UFC featherweight history as 145-pound champion Jose Aldo and number one contender Chad Mendes will headline UFC 179 in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil on October 25. In their first meeting in January of 2012, Aldo stopped the then-unbeaten Mendes with one second remaining in the first round. Since then, Mendes has won five straight, most recently decisioning Nik Lentz.
Aldo, the only 145-pound champion in UFC history, has added three more successful title defenses since the Mendes bout, defeating Frankie Edgar, Chan Sung Jung, and Ricardo Lamas. In the co-main event, it's a meeting of light heavyweight contenders as Brazil's own Glover Teixeira faces Phil Davis. Live on Pay-Per-View from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
