UFC 142: Aldo vs. Mendes Main Card Breakdown

UFC-142-629x305

This Saturday, January 14, the UFC makes its triumphant re-return to the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for UFC 142: Aldo vs. Mendes. As was the case the last time the UFC was in Brazil (UFC 134), the Brazilians will take part in every fight and look to take advantage of the incredibly loud, supporting ”home team” crowd. At 134, the Brazilian fighters went 7-1 against non-Brazilian fighters, much to the enjoyment of their countrymen in the stands.

With UFC 142 only days away now it’s time to take a look at Anthony Johnson who is looking to make a run at the 185 lb. strap. This could be the best thing for him as he was never a natural welterweight and the massive weight cut would never favor him as a contender at 170 pounds, such abuse to his body leading up to the fight will never be a good thing.

Below is my comparison betting odds for the fights, as well as some valid props. I’ve also included a confidence rating that gives you an idea of how much wiggle room we have with the line.
