I hope McKenzie gets another guillotine.

I hope McKenzie gets another guillotine.

Thats what Im rooting for but Mendes will probably rasslin him to death.

[Tallica1981]

I guess McKenzie has a chance against almost any wrestler with that Guillotine, but I'd be very shocked if he found a way to pull it off. Mendes is undoubtedly well versed in his Guillotine defense coming from Alpha-Male. Mendes should be able to show off his hands here and get the TKO and get back in the win column. Cody is gonna get smashed.

I have a feeling Cody loses pretty bad in thus one, but I would absolutely love for him to get another guillotine.

[TheFightShrink]

I might just be expecting too much from McKenzie or viewing Mendes in the wrong light , but I see cody getting the W via sub.

[Jazzy Jeff]

So is this match the equivalent of a WWE Diva's match at Wrestlemania where we all go to the bathroom and get snacks and such? By the way, Mendes by way of sitting on him for 15 minutes.

Chad Mendes and... Cody McKenzie?

Look, I like Cody. But... Chad is going to murder him.

What? How could you not want to watch Cody fight? The guy is nuts and goes full speed the whole time. The guy is a scrappy over-achiever and I love to watch him fight.

[tantryl]

No question there, I enjoy watching the man fight. On top of the scrappy you know there's an instant game changer that could be pulled out at any moment.

But still... Chad smash.

*EDIT* On second thought, maybe not. A lot of people are off balance and make bad choices after getting totally outclassed by a title holder. We see post-shot-skids all the time. Chad might go out there with the attitude that he's too good for Cody and has to show he's not worried about the 'tine and just put his head down and shoot...
