Now that the UFC on Fox 9 main event has been put in place, its time for the rest of the fight card to start filling out. Following Monday night’s announcement that UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis will square off with Josh Thomson in the headliner, BleacherReport.com has confirmed that Chad Mendes and Nik Lentz have verbally agreed to meet on the Sacramento, Calif., fight card as well. The UFC later added its own confirmation of the bout. Lentz was originally expected to face Steven Siler at UFC Fight for the Troops 3 in November, but reportedly jumped at the opportunity to fight Mendes.
