Chad Mendes won five fights in a row to earn a rematch with Jose Aldo, and four of those were finishes, something he’s hoping to do to Aldo:
“I think I’ve caught up and passed him up. I truly believe this is my time. We’ve seen his reign for a while, but I’ve studied him, I’ve fought him. I truly believe it’s my turn.”
Mendes knows his maturity level has changed dramatically since first facing Aldo in 2012. He’s learned the art of the knockout. He found that if he hits somebody really, really hard, they go down and don’t get up again. He rediscovered his love of wrestling and embracing the grind.
Long story short, he found the way he will finish Jose Aldo on October 25.
“I truly believe that I can (finish him),” Mendes said. “I know I hit hard. I’m fast and I’m powerful. If I can land one of those on anybody in the division, I can put them to sleep.
“I truly believe I can finish a guy like Jose Aldo.”
