\"MMA:<\/a><\/p>\n

Chad Mendes will get a chance to redeem his 2012 loss to Jose Aldo at UFC 179 next month. As it has gotten closer and closer to the event, the pair has been talking more and more trash, capped off by Aldo shoving Mendes during the pair’s first staredown last month.<\/p>\n

Mendes joined MMAJunkie<\/a> Radio to discuss the matchup.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guy\u2019s an a\u2013hole. That\u2019s really what it comes down to. We\u2019re there to sell a fight, and the guy pushes me, and then after he tries to say in interviews, \u2018Oh, I just tried to sell the fight.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cEither you\u2019re a moron, or \u2026 you lost your cool, so it\u2019s one of the two.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t make sense to me to push a dude in the staredown (when) someone\u2019s getting in your face. That\u2019s what our job is \u2014 we\u2019re supposed to stand there in front of each other and pose for the damn cameras and s\u2013t. If you don\u2019t like me being there, don\u2019t do the damn staredown.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Since Mendes last fought Aldo in 2012, he has been on a tear, going on a 5-fight win streak, with 4 of his wins coming by way of KO or TKO. The loss to Aldo remains the only loss on his otherwise perfect 16-0 record.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, I would love to put a beating on this guy, but any time I can go out there and get a quick finish, especially against a guy like Jose Aldo in a title fight like this, I\u2019d definitely be more than pleased with that,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s changed a lot. I\u2019ve watched his past few fights, and he\u2019s just really good at what he does, and he just uses it in every single fight. I haven\u2019t seen any major improvements.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe seems to be a guy that\u2019s in his comfort zone, because it\u2019s been working. But I think it takes a guy like me with my style to get in there and push a guy like Jose out of his comfort zone, to really test his skill level. Those type of fights always make it entertaining for the fans. I\u2019m going to go out there and test his will, and I\u2019m going to put a hurting on him.<\/p>\n

\u201c(My first fight with Aldo) was the first time I fought outside of the country, obviously for a title. It was just a lot to take in really fast. But I\u2019ve been there, and done that. I\u2019ve fought in the UFC for a while, and there\u2019s a lot less stress. And because I\u2019ve gotten so much better, I\u2019ve got a lot more confidence. My mindset is completely different.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Who takes the rematch when the two face off on October 25th?<\/p>\n
