UFC 179 Weigh-in Results: Jose Aldo, Chad Mendes Cleared for Rematch




Chad Mendes has waited nearly three years for a second crack at MMA royalty.

Mendes tipped the scales at 145 pounds for his rematch with Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight titleholder Jose Aldo (145) in the UFC 179 main event on Saturday at Maracanazinho Gymnasium in Rio de Janeiro. Light heavyweight co-headliners Glover Teixeira (205) and Phil Davis (205) also met their contracted weight requirements without issue at Friday’s official weigh-in.
