Danny Castillo: Jose Aldo Grabbed Cage Against Chad Mendes, Affected Outcome

---

Danny Castillo, on “Beatdown,” discussing where teammate Chad Mendes stands in the featherweight division:

“I’m not sure who the No. 3 or the No. 4 guy in the weight class is, but if you could tie for first, Chad’s definitely tied for first. I think that the fight he had with [Jose] Aldo, had Aldo not grabbed the cage, the outcome of the fight would have been different. I’m not taking anything away from Aldo. He’s phenomenal. He’s a great champion. But from the No. 3 guy to the No. 2 guy in the weight class, I think Chad is light years above the No. 3-ranked guy in the world.”
