WATCH: The only man to have fought both McGregor and Aldo offers his prediction for UFC 194

Sounds pretty convinced

Darragh Murphy

Who better to predict the main event of UFC 194 than Chad Mendes?

The Alpha Male featherweight is the only man to have felt the power of both Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo in the octagon and his experience has led to him to one crystal clear pick for Saturday night’s title unification bout.

Money has only lost three times in his professional career but all three of those defeats have come against the two men headlining UFC 194 as he lost twice to Aldo, via KO and unanimous decision, before being finished by McGregor for the interim 145 lb strap in July.

So who is he picking to take the gold home this weekend?

“I don’t know if I see anybody getting knocked out but I think Aldo is going to tear him up!”

Mendes meets Frankie Edgar on Friday night which will likely decide who the winner and loser of McGregor v Aldo faces next so, all in all, there’s never been a more exciting weekend of featherweight action.
