UFC 179: Aldo vs. Mendes 2 was a mixed martial arts event held on October 25, 2014, at Ginásio do Maracanãzinho in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[3]
Background
[edit]The event was headlined by a Featherweight Championship rematch between the current champion José Aldo, and top contender Chad Mendes.[4][5] Their first fight at UFC 142, also contested in Rio de Janeiro, ended in a first round knockout victory in favor of Aldo.[6]
The headliner was originally scheduled to take place on August 2, 2014, at UFC 176.[7] However, on July 2, Aldo pulled out of the fight citing a neck injury suffered during training.[8] Subsequent to Aldo's injury, that event was postponed on July 8, when the UFC announced they were unable to replace the original main event fight and with less than a month before the event, the decision was made to postpone the event – though the promotion said the numbering scheme for already scheduled pay-per-views after it, including UFC 177 in Sacramento on August 30, would remain in consecutive order. That entire fight card was re-booked for other events.[9]
Jeremy Stephens was linked to a possible bout with Lucas Martins at the event.[10] However, Stephens' manager indicated shortly after the fight announcement was leaked that they had no intention of taking the fight.[11] Martins faced Darren Elkins instead.[12]
Fabrício Camões was originally scheduled to face Josh Shockley at the event. However, Shockley was removed from the bout citing injury and was replaced by Anthony Rocco Martin.[13]
Alan Patrick was expected to face Beneil Dariush at this event. However, Patrick was forced to pull out due to a broken jaw he received during training.[14] Dariush instead faced Carlos Diego Ferreira.[15]
During weigh ins, three fighters missed weight: Scott Jorgensen (128 lb), Fabrício Camões (158 lb) and Tony Martin (157 lb). Jorgensen was fined 20% of his purse, while Camões and Martin, who were involved in the same fight, were not issued a fine.[16]
