Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes will be headlining the event, while Vitor Belfort will square off against Anthony Johnson in the co-main event. Jose Aldo, ranked the #1 featherweight in the world, is also considered by many to be one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world. With a record of 20-1, Aldo was the last WEC featherweight champion and is now the UFC champion of his division. He has defended his UFC belt twice against dangerous fighters such as Kenny Florian and Mark Hominick. On January 14 however, he will be facing Chad “Money” Mendes, a former NCAA division 1 wrestler, is undefeated and has dominated all of his opponents, controlling them with takedowns and top control. Although Mendes has won most of his fights via decisions, he has proven to the fans had he does have knockouts and submissions.
