EA SPORTS UFC Predicts Jose Aldo to Defeat Chad Mendes in UFC 179

UFC 179 is taking place on Saturday, October 25th at the Ginasio do Maracanazinho in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Nearly three years after their first bout, No. 1 contender Chad Mendes is heading back to Brazil for a second shot at dethroning perennial Featherweight champion Jose Aldo on home turf.

The fight was simulated in the EA SPORTS UFC Octagon. Watch how things shook out here.

After three rounds of back-and-forth action, Aldo proved he has no intention of letting his belt go anytime soon. Speed and explosive striking were once again the champ’s main keys to victory as the Brazilian landed a power left-hook late in the third that marked the beginning of the end for Mendes. Aldo finished Mendes off with some quick ground and pound to notch his seventh consecutive title defense.
