UFC TUF Finale "Kick In The Door To Face The Winner Of 194" (Edgar/Mendes, Barboza/Ferguson, & More)

early stoppage or nah

@artem having no answer or anything for Ryan.

Guida is a mid-level fighter, while Chad is elite. I don't see the comparison at all.

That's the problem Chad isn't elite, hes a mid lvl fighter in a shallow pool. That weight class doesn't have many top end fighters hence guys like Mendes n Connor look so great but really they aren't shyt.

To be considered elite u have to beat other elite fighters at some point. I look at chads record I don't see any significant major or huge wins. In last 5 yrs who has he beat, lamas, Lantz.... Guida the guy he taken over for as gatekeeper.

early stoppage or nah

Out cold. Good stoppage.

frankie has always been the number 2 guys at fw, he just doesn't get any respect for some reason.

How many other fw's would do as well as frankie did at 155?

early stoppage or nah

@artem having no answer or anything for Ryan.

nah, he was out. He might have popped back up but he had no clue what just happened

 

[LinusCaldwell]

I hear you. It was just interesting to see how quickly Chad rolled out and got up. It's almost like he got hit back into consciousness.

FW is a solid division. It's not shallow.

Chad is elite. He's one of the best fighters in the division. Losing to the very best the divison has to offer doesn't make you a gate keeper or mid level fighter.

 

[Screwface Exchange]

if he loses one/ maybetwo more time then thats when ill cap him as gate keeper

Gate Keepers are the Joe Lauzon's and Jim Miller's of the world. Solid but wont beat a top 5 guy, this is chad's first bad lost hes had

I understand your saying his first bad loss, but think of it the other way instead of he has loss to, who has he beaten to say he's elite? I think that's the problem wit Chad, he beats the lower guys but cnt best the upper tier guys, hes the gate keeper if u wanna b in that top 6 tier.

A fighter who can take Aldo to a competitive war is not mid-level.

Who has he beaten to be called elite?

To call Mendes elite is an insult to the real elite fighters like aldo, bones Jones etc.

Ppl throw around dis word elite too loosely these days. Mendes has never beaten a champ or even a former champ. He best win is Ricardo lamas sorry that doesn't mk u elite.

 

[prince_peoples]

i think he beats everyone at 145 that isn't aldo or frankie

i think he could lay and pray everyone else in the division pretty easy.

this is the 2nd time he has been knocked out cold, and the 3rd time he has been ko'd. you know what they say about a cracked chin.

Did he beat aldo, no he lost. Did he beat Connor no he lost. Did he beat Frankie no he went asleep. He didn't even last 1 round wit Franke who is a real elite fighter.

Sorry you can't LOSE your way to elite status, at some time u actually gotta beat some1 at the top

you make a good case...

 

[The G.O.D II]

Uhh Mendes is top 3 fighter. I still think he can beat anyone in the division outside Aldo. To suggest hes a gate keeper is ludicrous

 

[LinusCaldwell]

I don't think Chad is an elite fighter but he isn't a gate keeper. Uriah gonna have to pull out a W for team alpha male tomorrow night or else maybe TJ was right
