Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) contender Chad Mendes is a great wrestler, but will fail to get inside the reach of the much-bigger Conor McGregor, only to get picked apart in the UFC 189 pay-per-view (PPV) main event, which takes place this Sat. night (July 11, 2015) inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
That's according to the experts at SportsbookReview.com:
The bottom line here is that McGregor is simply too big for Mendes. The Notorious one is three inches taller and owns a daunting eight inch reach advantage. Those advantages could be nullified if McGregor cannot manage to stay upright, but I believe Mendes will take a world of punishment trying to get inside on a devastating striker like Conor McGregor.
