Jose Aldo and Chad Mendes rematched at UFC 179 in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday night, and this fight was everything that their first fight wasn’t, leading them to Fight of the Night honors. “Greatest featherweight championship fight I’ve ever seen in my life,” said UFC president Dana White in announcing the post-fight honors that come with a $50,000 bonus for each fighter. In their first fight, Aldo finished Mendes in the opening round.
