UFC Interim Featherweight Title Fight: Chad Mendes vs. Conor McGregor

Round 1
Herb Dean is the referee for tonight’s 145-pound interim title main event, with judges Junichiro Kamijo, Chris Lee and Marcos Rosales scoring at cageside. McGregor rushes across the cage to attack with a leaping knee, which is caught by Mendes and converted to a quick takedown. McGregor scrambles up, then eats a left hand from Mendes on the end of a combination. Mendes scores with a leg kick, sends a right hand over the top, then takes a spinning back kick to the body. McGregor walks Mendes toward the fence, touches the American with a straight left, another spinning kick to the gut. Mendes blocks a left high kick and continues to move in angles around the outside, grinning at McGregor. Now it’s Mendes’ turn to go up top with a right high kick which is blocked by McGregor, then a pair of punches which are not. McGregor puts a front kick in Mendes’ breadbasket, answered by a jab from Mendes. The wrestler shoots for a double-leg and takes down McGregor, landing in full guard. Mendes stands, holds McGregor’s leg and then clips the Irishman with a left hand as he stands. The punch opens up a cut and starts some swelling on the outsie of McGregor’s right eye. But, with two minutes left in the round, Mendes is slowing, perhaps showing the results of McGregor’s body work. Straight left hands are landing for McGregor until Mendes goes for another quick takedown. Mendes tries to take McGregor’s back, but McGregor puts his back to the canvas and Mendes winds up in half guard on the right side. Mendes tries a topside guillotine, can’t get it. Just before time runs out, referee Dean warns Mendes for sticking his fingers in McGregor’s eye while trying to smother.

Round 2
McGregor backs up Mendes with a few front kicks, then tries a spinning kick and comes up with air as “Money” moves off center. Mendes tries a takedown, gets sprawled on, and then misses with a guillotine attempt as McGregor scrambles back up. The wrestler ducks under a straight left from McGregor and plants the Irishman on the mat in the center of the cage with a double-leg takedown. McGregor peppers with wrap-around punches from his back and gets a warning from the referee to mind the back of Mendes’ head. Mendes slams through McGregor’s guard with a hard elbow to the face, then goes back to smothering the face of “The Notorious.” McGregor begins throwing elbows to the top of Mendes’ head, and despite the American’s complaints, referee Dean says the strikes are legal. Mendes gets back to fighting and drops another big elbow on McGregor’s face, followed by a right hand to the body and a forearm to the mouth. McGregor is looking for a stand-up order, but Dean tells him to keep fighting. Down to the final minute of the round, Mendes passes to the side and goes again for the topside guillotine. Mendes pulls guard to try and finish the choke, but McGregor rolls to his knees and then escapes to his feet. When they get up, McGregor rushes Mendes against the fence and attacks with uppercuts and body kicks. A blistering left cross sends Mendes crumbling to the base of the fence, and after McGregor slugs the turtling American with a few more punches, referee Dean stops the bout. Conor McGregor is the new UFC interim featherweight champion.

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Aug 27, 2020 (2 days before fight)

Ricardo Lamas

Big Brady is confident in Lamas, citing his elite competition history and superior wrestling and BJJ. He sees Algeo as a step down in competition and expects Lamas to win via ground-and-pound or submission, predicting a second-round finish. He notes Lamas' chin is a concern but Algeo is not a big puncher.

"give me llamas by a second round knockout there"

DFS by the Numbers

Daniel Levi Expert Hesitant picked Aug 29, 2020 (fight day)

Ricardo Lamas

Daniel Levi picks Ricardo Lamas but is hesitant due to Lamas's age (38) and history of brutal knockouts. He believes Lamas is better everywhere and more experienced, but notes that Algeo is long and tough, and could potentially catch Lamas with a shot. He expects Lamas to win by unanimous decision but warns against the price.

at this price in my opinion i'd be careful

"i'm gonna pick llamas don't get me wrong i think ricardo llamas is gonna defeat bill algio i don't think he's gonna lose to bill algio it could be a guillotine a decision"

Half the Battle

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Aug 28, 2020 (1 day before fight)

Ricardo Lamas

Lamas is a veteran with far superior competition and a well-rounded game including kickboxing, wrestling, and jiu-jitsu. Algeo's record is padded with cans and he struggled against wrestlers. Lamas will implement a grappling-heavy game plan and likely submit Algeo in the second round.

"i'm taking ricardo llamas to win this fight by second round submission"

Max Holloway vs. Ricardo Lamas

Round 1
Holloway presses out from the center of the cage, reaching out his long jab and getting a kick to the lead leg in return. He catches Lamas throwing a leg kick and nearly takes out the base of “The Bully,” but both men stay upright. Lamas is moving to his right around the outside, toward the power hand of the southpaw, and Holloway is using the momentum to land some hard lefts. Lamas covers up after one attack, so Holloway gives him a few rib roasters instead. Lamas barges off the fence, diving on a double-leg, but Holloway sprawls all over it and forces him to the ground. Lamas is twisted up underneath the Hawaiian but still glued to a single-leg, so Holloway opts to return to his feet. Another single-leg attempt from Lamas gets Holloway hopping on one leg, scooting backward to defend the shot against the cage. Holloway plants his feet in the gap at the base of the Octagon, and eventually Lamas is forced to give up on the takedown attempt. Holloway finishes strong, forcing Lamas to deflect a spinning kick and tapping him with a right hook on the chin.

Round 2
The featherweights trade leg kicks in the opening minute before Lamas ties up and puts a few punches on Holloway’s body. Holloway goes right back to stalking Lamas around the edge of the cage, keeping the WEC vet’s back near the fence. It’s a relatively slow couple of minutes before Holloway explodes into a flurry of knees and long punches, zapping Lamas with more than one hard right hand. Holloway seems content to take Lamas’ return fire as long as he’s scoring with shots, too. Lamas dives for a takedown and gets headlocked, then spun to the ground, with Holloway landing in north-south position. Lamas wraps up Holloway by the waist and tries to sweep, but he only manages to get his back on the mat. Both fighters work back to their feet with just over 90 seconds left in the round. Lamas, now bleeding from the nose, comes over the top with a right hand. Holloway waits for him to come inside again and gives him a snappy pair of slapping punches to the sides of the face. Lamas tries another single-leg, switches to a double and winds up in a bizarre reverse-guillotine choke while seated on the ground. Holloway releases and switches to a rear-naked choke, but he’s only got one hook in and Lamas is able to slide free. Holloway spends the last 20 seconds dropping punches and elbows on his defensive opponent.

Round 3
Lamas tries a capoeira kick as he attempts to string together some offense in the final frame, but Holloway easily avoids the strike. Stiff jab lands for Holloway, then he blocks a Lamas high kick and pops him with another. The Hawaiian’s reach continues to cause trouble for Lamas here in the third round, with Holloway able to reach in and touch Lamas without much fear of retaliation. Lamas tries to clinch and gets shoved against the fence, then released. He puts a right high kick on Holloway’s ear, but there’s not much behind it and Holloway just keeps coming. Holloway connects with an uppercut, then jacks Lamas’ jaw with a blistering left straight. Lamas looks to be in trouble as he grabs hold of Holloway’s legs and forces him against the cage. Holloway shoves him away, and the featherweights come back to the center for the final 20 seconds. It’s all mean-mugging and gunslinging from Holloway as he stands toe-to-toe with Lamas, both men throwing bombs until the final horn.
