Didn't he steamroll through Akiyama(sp) recently?

Vitor is an emotional fighter and sometimes goes into autopilot during fights, and I think a second go would be different against Anderson. Its like he wasn't paying attention when that kick hit him.

Apparently the press conference starts about 30 minutes in, and there is no Dana White and no portuguese translation for many of the question and answers. So there ya' go.

Watch the Press Conference for UFC 142 ALDO vs MENDES live from Rio de Janeiro.

I'm pulling for Rumble on this one. Should be a war between two awesome strikers. Speed vs. speed.

I like both fighters I want Rumble to win though so he can soften him up for Wand.

Johnson is too big and too strong for Belfort.. If Vitor lands one,how Johnson takes it,will determine who will win.. If Vitor hits hard enough,or often enough,he'll win,if he does not,then it will be a rough night for him..

Sad seeing Vitor in a wheelchair like that, hope he'll be ok in time for Rumble.

LOL "rumble" weighed in at 197! limit is ...185. And he usually fights at 170.. Dana is PISSED. Will probably get cut lol. Vitor said he can't be more the 205 fight night or he wont fight. (fight wouldn't even have happened if vitor was ok with it)

How the Fuck do you miss the limit by over 10 pounds after moving UP a weightclass haha.

I don't know how that dude ever made weight at 170lbs. And to miss weight by 12 fucking lbs when moving up to 185. lol wtf. And in the countdown show he claimed to be taking his diet "very seriously" nowadays.

His story inspired the organizers of the Usina de Cidadania project to create a program focused on MMA for local community youth in Rio. When announced, it instantly attracted 500 children with 200 more on the wait list. See how Aldo is giving back to the community when he's not training for his next fight.
