Just watched the fight now. Felt mendes was well in control even after being breathless after about 3 minutes.
He had him on the ground for fucking ages but mcgregor could take the elbows and he just couldn't get that submission. I think Mcgregor was fairly lucky with his opponent tbf, i don't think he'd have been able to catch Aldo like that. Or at least Aldo would be able to take the hits.
Mcgregor looked fairly sketchy on the ground tbf, but if mendes is one of the better wrestlers i'm not sure what you'd need to do to submit him.
