Then the market cooled, and gyms began to close.  “The economy, especially in the gym industry, has been very difficult,” he told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “The economy took care of a bunch of them. There’s two left now with Las Vegas and Toronto.” You could see irony in the UFC Hall of Famer’s new role in “Gym Rescue,” a new reality show that mirrors the popular “Bar Rescue” program, or a bit of savvy casting from the cable network, which inked Couture to a TV deal early this year.  In the show, Couture travels to cities around the country to help MMA gyms in the fickle business of getting everyday people into the cage, and keeping them there.

But there was something about Reign MMA that just felt like home. When UFC veteran Mark Munoz welcomed him with open arms, it went a long way for the California-based middleweight. Mendez (7-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) makes his UFC debut tonight against Daniel Sarafian (7-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at UFC on FUEL TV 10. UFC on FUEL TV 10 takes place today at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. The main card airs on FUEL TV (8 p.m. ET) following prelims on Facebook (5:10 p.m.). Mendez will be fighting for the first time in more than a year, but he does have some big-show experience with a split-decision win over Fernando Gonzalez for Strikeforce in December 2011.
