After sitting out for two years with a suspension, and dropping out of the rankings due to inactivity, Chad Mendes found a pretty impressive way to return. Mendes (18-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) this past Saturday knocked out Myles Jury (17-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) in the first round of their featherweight bout at UFC Fight Night 133 at CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho. And now that he’s back and active again, Mendes, a three-time title challenger, is eligible to be back in the rankings. He moved pretty quickly right back into the top of the heap at 145 pounds. But UFC Fight Night 133 wasn’t the only event this past weekend.
