Photo: Jose Aldo’s mangled face after UFC 179 main event

Jose-Aldo-UFC-156-2

UFC 179 was arguably the worst event of the year, and certainly one of the worst pay-per-views in quite some time. Thankfully the main event title fight between Jose Aldo and Chad Mendes exceeded expectations, as the two Featherweights put on a show that will not soon be forgotten.

Both men were badly hurt at multiple times in the back-and-forth fight, but neither would allow the finish to occur. In the end, both men’s faces were badly bloodied and bruised. Although Aldo went home with the belt, his face took enormous punishment in a way we have never seen before.

And still UFC featherweight Champion of the world José Aldo Junior!! @josealdojunioroficial

Hopefully these two will fight in a trilogy bout sometime in 2015. Could Mendes ever pull out the victory, or would Aldo reign supreme for a third time?
